Just like me at that age...

Why would an 11 year old kid care about politics? Did you ever think that maybe that is what is wrong with you?

It's called neurodivergence, [BLEEP].
Yes, it's hereditary.
No, it's not "wrong".

I always knew it was unusual.  My parents talked about politics in front of me a lot, and I knew most kid's parents did not.  I figured that's why I cared so much as a kid.  My wife and I made a conscious decision to talk about politics as little as possible in front of her and her brother.  Turns out that doesn't matter.  She was wired to care out of the womb.
