The Social Stress of IBS

Plus: predator bug appreciation, questionable autism studies, and a selection of my garden fails

A couple of things I’ve been doing elsewhere on the web, before we get into this week’s roundup:

• Marta and I did a livestream Thursday on The Spiral Lab about a book that’s influenced our thinking a lot, The Dysfunctionality of Executive Function. It’s an argument that the concept of EF is just about following rules for rules’ sake and it’s actually the opposite of innovative problem-solving and creativity. We explain it, so you don’t have to read it!

• Over in Disorderland, we are asking psych survivors to share their stories for us to quote in our next episode. There’s a few questions as prompts, so if you’re interested in adding to the conversation, come on over and tell us about your experiences.
