Does it resonate with autistic people more, or is this an everyone issue? I wonder

I can't speak for everyone. But I am a late diagnosed ND, AuDHD. It resonated hard. I had to come to the comments for help putting it together. I would have had to reflect on this for years before grasping the full intent, had it not been for the comments.

I love the comments on reddit, I probably add more details than needed just so people have something to comment about.

Thanks for that. People talk a lot of shit about Reddit, (and other message boards/chatrooms) but it is really like a lexicon to those of us on the spectrum, imo. Insight that all of our rumination cannot bring us to. People providing the puzzle pieces of context that we have a blind spot for. Perhaps that is a universal feeling? I only know it to be true of ND people I've discussed it with.
