Where is this “map” you refer to?

The map was an internal array of tropes and patterns of human interaction that I held in my mind, in working memory, as I came into contact with others. I mapped their behaviours, intentions, motivations, outcomes (as far as I could see them), and how society functions. In conversations with my partner the process of mapping all of this emerged in voice recordings and it wasn't until I discovered the concept of masking in relation to neurodiversity that I began to realise this was something i did to try and fit in.

That’s so Interesting. If you shared that I’m sure it would get read. I’d read it.

Yes, we are planning to go through all of the recordings we have, many thousands of hours, and publish! There are big plans 🥰

Oh nice. Sorry I keep bugging you about this. I had hours and hours of voice recordings. I transcribed them and used AI to figure out what was in them. That’s how I started this account. So, just offering that up, though I’m certain you’ve considered it. Ok that’s all. Really this time. Good luck!
