    Slight correction. You say that Bella has ASD, but I believe you mean ASPD. ASPD is the abbreviation for anti-social personality disorder, commonly known as sociopathy, which would be consistent with her description in Recommencer. ASD, on the other hand, means autism spectrum disorder, which is completely different to ASPD. I'm sure it's an honest mistake, though, since otherwise, this is great.

      Ah, my bad!! Thank you so much though! I’m still learning the terms.

        Can't say I blame you. Probably the only reason I was able to catch that was because I have an ASD myself. Otherwise, I probably would have missed it, too.

          Understandable. I’ve never heard it called ASD, though, and I’m on the spectrum. In fact, I’ve never even heard the term antisocial personality disorder used in real life. Bella is dedicated to a friend in high school of mine who had ASPD, but everyone always referred to her illness as ‘medical sociopathy.’ Then again, I live in the Bible Belt, so maybe they’re just doing things wrong and I’m picking it up on accident.

            To my understanding, neither ASPD or ASD are really used outside of clinical settings. Plus, ASD is a much newer term that encompasses a lot of earlier diagnoses, which may add to the confusion
