Very well done explanation. Thanks for sharing. I relate to all those. I have face blindness. I am overwhelmed by sensory input. The more people somewhere the more painful it is for me. Instead of getting energized by social contact it exhausts me. My obsessions are history, science, and comparative mythology. My first ten years I was mainly into history (especially aviation history), and that interest has continued to the present day. The next twenty years I was mainly into science (and still history as well), and those have both continued to the present day, and the last twenty years I have been heavy into comparative mythology, but of course the history and science continue as well.
I hope you leave this post up. I am so glad you have published it as a book. I hope a big name publisher takes you on so it can get the distribution and publicity it deserves. It would be a great learning tool for anyone any age.
