robin talking about never getting to know his mother fully, and never getting the chance to have known her the way she was before the crash reminded me a bit of every time my mother told me what I was like before the accident. She's convinced I used to be confident and outgoing but I have no recollection of that. The facts don't lie, though - I definitely had a lot of social connections when I was 2-7.

just the Q&A to go... there was a point in here where he was basically repeating himself word for word but other than that he's done a good job in recent chapters

Genuine question: how does audiobook oversight work? Did nobody notice him constantly saying "remuneration"?

okay. halfway through chapter 4 and he's doing a better job of distinguishing between autism and adhd. #growth

yet another harrowing chapter, but thankfully not as relatable (about high school bullying, which got incredibly physical in the cases of his friends)

i will say that im not super keen on his idea that PTSD causes ADHD - there can be overlapping symptoms but that's what led to me not getting a diagnosis until I was 19. while i agree that ADHD is "just a name for a collection of symptoms" (not his words, my old psychologist's) I don't think that'a what he means... and I don't think you need some other condition to get it.

bawled my fucking eyes out at chapter 1 and I'm not even halfway through. i might have to stop writing this update as I might start crying again. god. i wish robin had had access to help sooner - sincerely, someone who also went through a car accident as a child and had the same instinctual reaction and has been in therapy for more years than not at this point.
