@sarahdoingthing Some of this odd from an autistic perspective. "Each prsn learns to be aware of himself...by other ppl being aware of him"

@sarahdoingthing Very common experience among high-functioning autistics is the conscious decision to develop an ego around age 10-12. -
@St_Rev yeah I like the depiction of aspie-peopling in the kevin simler piece about personhood - an alternate mode -
@St_Rev though it doesn't super remind me of how my autistic friends actually are (they're not THAT autistic I guess?) -
@St_Rev maybe what I'm encountering is people who have already (consciously?) developed an ego out of of legos and duct tape -
@sarahdoingthing I think so, yes. Also think it highlights a split between development of consciousness & development of identity. -
@sarahdoingthing That is, they coemerge *normally* but not *necessarily*. Burroughs' whole 'language is a virus' routine obliquely relevant -
@sarahdoingthing HEY WAIT A SECOND DID YOU CALL ME A CHRISTIAN >:-B -
@St_Rev no I actually got if from@KalishJantzen before I heard you use the term <3 - 1 more reply
