    If you watch the video that’s posted elsewhere in the comments, he’s definitely not 100% in reality. There is a huge difference between neuro-divergence and what he’s saying. The parts they took out for the article could be construed as neuro-divergent, which is why I wasn’t entirely sure. But when you look at the entirety of what he was saying, he’s not in our world completely in his mental state.
