        What do you think this book said about society and the individual?

          I wasn’t sure exactly what they were trying to say. What do you think?

            It was strange, but I think they were trying to say that it’s ok to be happy where you are and not to feel pressures by people pushing you to the next step.  The character’s neurodivergent brain also went against convention and it felt like she finally didn’t care what if other people didn’t accept where she fit in or her calling.

              I think one of the things the book was saying is that people can be judgmental and non-accepting.  Our society has a history of ostracizing those who are different from the norm.  We have, however, made great strides in this past decade. Not excellent, but great.  Generally people today are more aware of terms like spectrum, and autism. Next step is to for those who have these conditions to have full integration into society.
