  I feel this way after finishing grad school and going into industry. Nobody wants to just need out

  Whoever said austism didn’t exist before 1930 never read Darwin’s letters.

  Here’s the full letter.

  I am dying by inches, from not having any body to talk to about insects:—my only reason for writing, is to remove a heavy weight from my mind, so now you must understand, what you will perceive before you come to the end of this; that I am writing merely for my own pleasure & not your’s.

  To answer the other commenter’s question: no. Darwin married first cousin Emma Wedgwood; this letter was to second cousin William Darwin Fox (“My dear Fox”).

  If only Darwin had waited; he could’ve dropped bars with “I am dying by inches, from not having any body to talk to about finches.”

  Would this be the cousin he married?
