i LOVED THIS. as an autistic person, i feel like it represents neurodivergency well, especially someone with internalised ableism, and liked seeing thoughts similar to my own. i however HATED the antagonist. he made some solid points but he’s just a manipulative lazy douchebag and by the end he was pissing me off so much that i had to take stars off. usually i like unlikeable characters but idk i just HATED this man.
Graphic: Ableism, Gaslighting, and Misogyny
