A thousand likes!!! Only English teachers that have taught this novel multiple times a day for several years will get that these people are ignorant to the true meaning of that book and Fitzgerald’s perspective. It has been particularly difficult lately especially with Tom’s opinion of immigration.

People are rude. People are also ignorant. In my life, I can see autism where I didn’t before until I started studying it to help my family. Now I see older relatives, and it seems obvious, but I would never mention it to them because they’ve lived their whole life as “quirky.”

Thank you for this analysis. I agree the findings are limited due to the demographics and sample size; autistic traits are more varied than 4 types, but I think the implications about genetics are significant because of the vaccine/environment argument rising again thanks to RFK.

It’s more the em-dash that is the dead giveaway for high schoolers because the em-dash is only taught in creative writing, AP, and SAT Prep.

I just took two roadtrips, one with a Chevy bolt and one with a Tesla, the Tesla supercharger network is still more consistently working, well spaced out, and in areas by shopping areas.

As always, thank you for spreading awareness. I’m curious what you think about how OCD fits in to the Autism ADHD diagnosis.

If you reread the series the hate and bigotry is obvious with the way she frames characters that are minorities.

Well, they are between 28-44.
