touch foxglove NOW I really don't know anything about this author (I read one of his books when I was younger and that's it) BUT I do know that a seething WIRED journocel wrote a very angry expose about how he is an neurodivergent and a total loser for various ill-defined reasons (didn't read). RDrama post here (if ur wondering why it says "heeheehaahaa" so much, its because the post author was chudded when he wrote it 
)
Basically, the WIRED journo hates the fact that BrandoSando...
has an air of confidence
made the author drive all the way from SanFran
is resistant to pain and refuses pain medication
anywho, BrandoSando fires back very gently. I thought it was well-written, if a bit mopey. It also makes the journo look like a complete butthole without focusing on the journo himself, which is amazing.
Summary:
Brando relates his experiences as being an "outsider", due to his faith and general autism
Brando explains that his numbness to pain is probably a result of his autism
Brando says that he doesn't want sympathy for this.
He says he writes because he feels things when he writes.
He is against "gatekeeping"

I think the Wired reporter came off looking like a total loser, but some of the fan reactions were hilariously salty enough to deserve their own threads. Kehe is right in the Taylor Lorenz sweet spot of being an obnoxious r-slur who's still good at bringing out the idiocy of others.
