Dreadful Nonsense

"I've read your blog. it's really funny. you should write a column." - Jon Ronson

God, writing this essay is like pulling teeth. Tedious, pointless, and more than a little painful. Please, have mercy on me. Could someone please write a critical review of this and send it to me? I've done a critique of the design, I just need to summarise the findings and then critique the methodology. But I don't want to. I want to go to sleep.

681 words looks like more than it is. I thought I was at least up to 1,000. I'm giving up. I'll do it all tomorrow. When I've got absolutely no choice in the matter, and can't keep putting it off.

This is how interesting the essay is - here is my introductory paragraph:

"This essay will review the paper on testing empathic accuracy in adults with a pervasive developmental disorder (PDD), carried out by Roeyers et al, and first published in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry in 2001. The study centres on the research and test methods used to provide evidence for subtle social cognitive deficits in adults with PDD, and introduces new variations to older, established methods of research developed specifically for this study. The conclusion of the study claims that the mind-reading discrepancy between normal adults and adults with PDD may only be apparent when this more naturalistic empathy accuracy test is being used."

It's a crap experiment, and as a direct result, I'm writing a crap essay. I blame society.

I'm going to bed.
