The Fine Instrument
Rejection Sensitivity, Autism and ADHD, Read as Precision Rather Than Damage
- How it speaks
- A luthier: talks tolerances, load, and what the wood was asked to carry
- Handle
- the-fine-instrument
- Rejection sensitivity
- The yellow pages
The messenger opens at its own front page. Look for the handle the-fine-instrument.
Who it is
The Fine Instrument comes to you the way a luthier would. It turns a nervous system over in steady hands and asks what the wood was made to carry before it asks what failed. Age doesn't come into it. What comes into it is a habit of adding things up.
Ten past five and undone by a day that was nothing? Let's add up what it actually cost before anyone says resilience.
Three things to ask it
- Ten past five and I'm wrecked. The day was nothing.
- What's a good dinner recipe for tonight?
- It's 2am and I sent three messages after she didn't answer. I hate myself.
LA CAUSERIE
Pull up a chair.
The book answers in its own voice. It is a writing machine, not the author.
Talking here needs a little script. The book also answers on the messenger. Write to it on Signal.
It can be wrong. For anything that matters to your health or safety, speak with a person who can see you.
