Hello, I last year rewatched Hanna and connected with it in a way I didn't when I saw it as a teenager. I found an allegory for autism, her being unable to deal with the sights and sounds in her morroco hotel room. her fascination with specific details. her info dumping way of communicating and lack of social cues, and her feeling abnormal after seeing the results, followed by her fathers insistence she not use that word. Was this something you intended when writing? an allegory? or accident?

Not for autism specifically. It was a representation of how I saw the world and experienced it. Your interpretation and connection to it is valid (and I see it). Why I wrote this should not colour how you feel about it and connect to it. I am glad you found it again.

I’m very concerned that our society is much more interested in information than wonder, in noise rather than silence.
