The best tip you can give an American currently seeking an autism diagnosis is to call that search off.

If you don't have an official dx you should probably keep it off of your medical records for the next 4+ yrs. Don't do shit while your med history is potentially compromised. Most people don't understand what all makes it into their official history. If you were to hit up your patient portal(s) and scroll thru that shit, you'd be surprised at what some providers choose to include.

You might also be surprised at how many people (can) see those records

Over the past few years I've been digging into the Japanese cultural response(s) to things like OKC and Columbine. At first it was mostly to compare and contrast to Aum Affair stuff. Now I'm genuinely invested in running back 不謹慎 history. Image I could probably tie it all together using this book (you may have heard of it) that dropped the same exact day Columbine happened. Battle Royale novel by Koushun Takami, original JP release date 04/21/1999

If you're looking for entry level English language Aum reccs, there are only 3 or 4 books to choose from.

Destroying the World to Save It - Lifton
Religious Violence in Contemporary Japan - Reader
The Cult at the End of the World - Kaplan (out of print)
Underground - Murakami Lifton's book changed my life. Reader's book is a close second. Both are available in print or as e-books.

The Kaplan/Marshall book is OOP but you can just google the nearly 30 year old Wired article.

The bastardized US edition of Haruki Murakami's Underground.... exists.

What sort of present do you even get a guy in his late 50s who already has more money than god?? Ok the vibe I'm getting from y'all is that I need to crank the tsundere up to 11 and play it totally straight.

That or assault them with bees.

Either/or would be on brand for me so... Maybe?

It's about nazis AND "regular" cultic fuckery.

Some of Anno's interviews in and around 1997 regarding Eva and Aum make it VERY clear that he gets it.

And you can't begin to discuss Anno and cult shit without getting into what Aum (the Aum Affair and Aum itself) did to him. Ryu Murakami's book Fascism of Love and Fantasy comes up multiple times wrt works that ultimately inspired Eva.

It was definitely more of an inspiration than anything to do with Aum Shinrikyo.
