Anyway I was in an Autism evaluation last week bc I don’t have my original diagnosis on paper and they were asking me “common knowledge” questions and one of them was “who wrote Hamlet” and for some godforsaken reason I heard “Hamilton” so I said, “the book or the musical?” And the doctor said “there’s….a musical?” And we both stared at each other for forty-five seconds while I opened up my “past dialogue” log in my brain and loaded in “Hamlet”
They also asked who wrote Sherlock Holmes and I couldn’t for the life of me remember Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s name but I did remember that he had beef with Houdini because he so deeply believed in Fairies and Ghosts but Houdini didn’t so they were mortal frenemies and I talked about that for several minutes and the doctor said “interesting” and wrote down what I can only assume was “AUTISTIC” underlined three times
