  1. I’ve absolutely had these thoughts about especially Felix and Annette. As someone with ADHD I immediately identified with Annette. She works really hard but keeps making small little mistakes and she doesn’t know why so she works harder and harder but it keeps happening. Boom. Frustration. Another part of ADHD is rejection sensitive dysphoria. She is very aware of perceived criticism and takes things very personally very quickly. This is simply because of how her brain works. It’s really interesting to see this manifested in her supports with Felix. Since Felix very well could have Asperger’s he says exactly what he means. Annette takes this as teasing or criticism and immediately gets defensive which completely confuses Felix. I love the interactions with these characters and how they’re drawn to each other’s differences and by the end seek understanding in each’s own thought processes and communication styles. A true neurodiverse love story for the books.
