In January 2022, I ran a public survey about neurodivergent traits and co-occurring conditions. The response was amazing, particularly considering that the survey included over 200 questions. This book is not an in-depth statistical analysis of the results, a scientific/medical/academic report, or anything brainy like that; it’s just me, looking at the most obvious patterns that emerged from the survey and ranting about what they suggest.

The "it" in Miller's "losing it" refers mainly to mental faculties - memory, processing speed, sensory acuity, the capacity to focus. But it includes other evidence as wel l- sags and flaccidities, aches and pains, failing joints and organs. What are we to make of these tell-tale signs?

Science, by definition, is an open-ended approach to understand how the world works by observation, experimentation, and modeling. But underlining this human process is our ability to be wrong, to be corrected, and to change our views over time. While Francis Bacon (1561-1626) is often regarded as the first Western thinker to properly codify what is commonly known today as the scientific method, it may come as a surprise to learn that Jain philosophy, which dates back to before the 6th century BCE, has three core beliefs that are contributive and elemental for any budding scientist.
