Holy shit, comrades. I had no idea. This explains so fucking much. Thank you, thank you, thank you to the comrades like @ReadFanon@hexbear.net and @FourteenEyes@hexbear.net and others who have mentioned the book on this site.

There are some traits I don't share (are there any dealbreakers that would disqualify me as autistic?), but for the ones I do have, they fit exactly. Price, in the conclusion, talking about sleeping on an air mattress and refusing to buy furniture - that's been me. Same with all of the food issues they talk about. Same with . . . etc. Goddammit. How did I not know? Do I know now? What do I do now? I'm already on disability so I don't know that I need to go through the diagnosis process.

    Still planning on doing a book club for this next... week or so? Work is insanely busy while we have a skeleton crew at the same time and my spring semester just started so I'm trying not to go completely insane

    I think tomorrow I'll try to work out how I'll structure the discussion on paper or something

      Thank you again for the recommendation. I don't know if I can help with organizing the book club but I'll certainly be participating in it.

      Can't wait for you get get this going. I want like everyone to read this book.

      I was gonna read a long with the group but kind of realized last month that if I didn't read it then I probably never would get to it.

      So I'll be ahead of the class but am super eager to read what others get out of this.

      Thanks for even recommending it a while back because it wasnt even on my radar.
