I don’t check this account very often, so apologies for the delayed response.

Three days ago, you said you were getting assessed “today.” What did the assessment entail? If you’re comfortable sharing (and it sounds like you will be), what were the results? In the subsequent two days, have you felt liberated (regardless of diagnosis)?

Thank you very much for your answer (both the one you already posted and any follow-up).

It would be nice to know. I’m long out of school, so the only potential real impact on my life is socialization and fortunately I don’t need to worry about that too much.

I will do some research and appreciate your input.

Fair enough, thank you. Whatever form of neurodivergence I have, I am fortunate that it does not regularly cause problems. I appreciate the answer!

That makes sense. Thank you for the answer.

Thank you for the idea! Bruce Coville was a huge part of my childhood so probably at least one of the stories referenced is from him (and I’ll see if I can figure out which), but an image search isn’t returning anything with the cat cover I remember. Excellent guidance and much appreciated.

I was not aware of that stereotype. Thank you for the enlightenment. I think.

Oh, I thought they were being accused of alcoholism.

One time I had this happen while I was listening to one of the Emperor of Thorns books. The scene being described was of scrotal mutilation and my brother kept texting me during the reading.

I didn’t want to hear about scrotal mutilation that many times.

Otherwise, excellent YA book series, audio or otherwise.

Tbh, at a glance, I interpreted this as one person and was … Surprised.

This is absolutely the animation I remember, but also definitely not the audio from any of the three. This gets me so much closer, though. Thank you very much!

The US. Thanks!

Gosh, I hope so.
