I wonder if there is a connection between Neurodivergent Creatives, like WS, who was presumed to have dyslexia before anyone had heard of it... and wearing your heart on your sleeve. Ie, no filter... Which is something many of us in the community, (adhd, autism etc) also speak of not having.
Maybe this is why WS was so good at creating character, because he was endlessly connected to his instincts and emotions in this open way...
