I have schizophrenia, which i was diagnosed with at 19, but I didn’t find out I was autistic until 30. Like you I am highly attuned to others emotions and slight changes in the way they respond when I say something they don’t like, but I find most conversation exhausting and am selectively mute with a blank expression or awkwardly smiling and nodding wanting to flee when I am uncomfortable, which is with anyone until I get to know them well. I am also non-binary and half Mexican, not the stereotype of a privileged cis male. Your book seems fascinating.
