As that dictionary says, NZ isn't a fertile place for satire, and this is why. But, I'll admit that bipolar I basically gives me immunity from prosecution on libel or anything where I could prove that I was in a mania or something, which results in excessive writing (hypographia) and also a loss of intentionality and self-control.
Hardly a proud set of moments, but it's a reasonable and scientific explanation.

Let's add this to the bonfire of the consistently wrong assumption that these traits are inherently 'autistic': bipolar is quite a complicated disease. I came to Question Time, but I'd started doing that in 2018. Gary encouraged me to come to more sessions, and I progressively started attending semi-regularly over a period of 6 months in 2022.
