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 love memes dunking on him and his fans for his incredibly mid crowd funded childrens books and being fat and ugly, but every time I see him respond to criticism he seems like a genuinely, though heavily neurodivergent, nice dude.

Separating the art from the artist doesn't just mean tolerating books from heckin' Chuds.
Sometimes, it means having to take a fat shit on books from an alright guy.

I met him he’s very nice and handles talking to fans well despite his spergy demeanor.
