Hi Marc, and anyone else, I've started reading your book, the purchase of which was prompted when you posted here the Barry's Galeon Ship Disaster chapter. As soon as I started reading the book, I immediately made the connection to neurodivergency and was curious if you yourself make this connection, or if you consider yourself neurodivergent, how you feel about the concept of neurodivergency etc. I was going to wait until I finished the book to see if you do mention it at some point. I was a latecomer to discovering I am neurodivergent - autistic - not until my children were diagnosed, and I started learning about it and my mind went flying into my past busily connecting dots and seeing patterns. I went through various phases of denial even after receiving a diagnosis toward the end of my forties. I've learnt a lot about it through social media and a few books. In your book, I identify a lot with much about what ferral class is said to be. That's why I ask. A book recommendation from me is, very interesting Empire of Normality: Neurodiversity and Capitalism By Robert Chapman And Devon Price's Unmasking Autism mentions in places about how neurodivergent people were connecting with each other in the early days of the internet. Cheers James
