I keep referring to her as that, and I'll continue to do so as long as I am stuck under her "care"...
that said, I do believe she is autistic (or ND in such a way it is very similar) and is masking as much as anyone is able to do. I can make a case. For some other time, though.
What I am getting at right now is that although she and I are, for the most part, in the same cohort, we could not be any more different. Again I have been reminded of such things by solderpunk, as in the part 2 of "Orphans" there is the notion that some people will defend capital mindlessly, and my sister is one of those people. It makes things very difficult.
