That was awesome…I knew it from the first few lines. You sound like Sherlock Holmes (One of my fiction heroes). I enjoyed your writing style and I doubt I would have needed therapy after your longer versions. 💚😉
I honestly can say I understand what some of that neurodivergence feels like. A tiny bit, just like I can say I understand a tiny bit what it is to be blind bc I was perfectly blind for 5 minutes once. The fact that you live through this relentlessly is beyond me, though. For whatever pain that causes you, I am sorry; however I also appreciate the beauty and necessity of deep and detailed observation. Dissociating from reality brings with it its own abundance of pain, personally and socially.
