While on the one hand, it's nice to come across more content on neurodiversity in Japan, I would be concerned about what and how much you share. A friend, classmate, future employer, etc. may come across this video.

Having recently been diagnosed in my late 30s, I like hearing about kids being diagnosed young. Even though I've had few of the sensory struggles that often go along with autism, having a better idea of what makes me me before adulthood would have been a huge help. For the most severe cases diagnosis in late infancy/early toddlerhood is generally agreed to be helpful, but for less obvious cases, the two critical times are puberty (where social complexity takes off, particularly for females), and age 18 (because of the transition to adulthood and also because diagnostic options are more limited for adults). Given that there's a history of learning disabilities in your family, have you considered the possibility that you yourself may be autistic? Autism is highly heritable and less obvious cases are often mistaken for other conditions (possibly explaining your family history) or missed entirely.

What color and style of Loop earplugs did they choose? I love what a selection of colors and noise blocking levels they come in.

Quick question, why sometimes say "she" and sometimes "they", while (I assume) referring to her? I'm not native in English so I don't know about all its intricacies but it stuck with me. Is it to distance yourself as you're narrating her story？ Also I agree, the taboo around mental health issues in japan needs to be stopped! Stay strong. EDIT: This was very rich in informations. Thank you a lot for sharing this story!
