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.

    Last night I was rereading a bunch of threads in this comm, including your post where you talked about this book and specifically about Divergent Design. It sounds like a promising way to resolve antinomies.

      Coolio. We got some heavy cleaning to do but then after that or during that we are gonna start focusing on Divergent Design, especially for her. She has more clutter spaces than I have organized spaces so I really wanna figure out a system that will work for her.
