the people who are male, they might not even notice that this book is deliberately inclusive of others.
And in some ways, I think, therefore, what I'm doing is a little bit stealth.
I mean, it's like, oh, hey, gonna sneak this book up on you.
Maybe they'll figure out through osmosis that something different is happening without being able to put their finger on quite how this book is different.
Whereas for those in communities that are historically otherized, I'm hoping it'll be
utterly obvious.
And people will say, wow, finally, yes.
You know, yes, yes, yes.
That is my hope.
Yeah.
So I think I began with the understanding that the generation I'm speaking to is one
in which humans have, more so than ever, had the benefit of testing, diagnoses, support around mental health challenges, around neurodivergence.
And my point being, a book 20 years ago aiming to elucidate these same subjects, the subject meaning how to be an adult,
might have relegated neurodivergence.
It wouldn't have even used that term of course, and mental health challenges to kind of an asterisk, you know, whereas I wanted folks who are, who are dealing with these situations as I broadly refer to them in the book situations to just be centered on the page.
And, um, so that was one goal here.
Another is, um,
that I was very careful in this chapter to just open up and talk about language.
I basically, after sharing a few things about my own personal situations as a way into the topic, I then go to this language, a long treatise, not treatise, but like a couple pages about the language I am using in this chapter in an attempt to be inclusive while knowing that it is impossible to be entirely inclusive, knowing that language is
is constantly evolving.
