As an autistic child I never understood those dimensions of the story anyway. I am literally realizing them right now in my 40s upon reading your comment. Instead, I learned those life lessons because my parents told them to me directly.
Ah, same. My parents were neurodivergent and very blunt with life lessons, too. Neurotypicals have that kind of “beat around the bush” “don’t say the quiet part out loud” “guide them to water” type of attitude I think.

Good thing you weren’t born in that era, too. You would’ve been discarded/drowned/sold/cloistered/etc. as a witch like the rest of us NDs. 😅😶
