Yeah. This talk made me so happy and at the same time sad, because I know how heavily discouraged her creative streak was by her parents. When they found one of her "novels" they made a big deal of putting it in the trash with an explanation like: "Now that's just stupid. Go back do your math homework!" The joys of being the daughter of a family of generations of bookkeepers and civil servants. And my Mom very likely has discalculia too. Of course nobody fucking cared about learning disabilities in the fifties.
