While there is an increase in turbulence amongst relationships at every level to begin with, the end result is nothing much changes. The fact that this was the wish shows that we, as a species, understand the score. Things go on, mostly, as normal, people now have simply shirked the facade. To an outsider it may look like the whole planet suddenly became neurodivergent.

Autist reporting here, I never have any idea exactly how which specific person wants me to lie to specifically them when they ask me many common questions that I usually just answer truthfully.
