OP describes a situation or person who ticks almost all the boxes for neurodivergence. However the MN neurodivergence police will absolutely forbid anyone to suggest that the person in question could be ND in any way as it triggers some bizarre nerve of their own self identity. Especially if the person in question is a man, he has to be a 100% asshole garbage human being and you are never, ever allowed to suggest undiagnosed ND being a reason for male behaviour.

I think you totally nailed it yourself OP. If any OP is found to have any one of these characteristics, then that's it, game over for what she posted about. Nothing else about her matters.
