  Why Smart People Don't Have Many...

  The paradox of intelligence and friendship has puzzled both scholars and individuals for generations. While high intelligence is often associated with success and achievement, it can also come with a significant social challenge: the difficulty of forming and maintaining meaningful friendships. For highly intelligent people, the complex nature of their cognitive abilities can create barriers that make social interactions more challenging. Despite their many strengths, these individuals often find themselves isolated, misunderstood, and distanced from others who may not share the same intellectual capacity or way of thinking. 
    
  At the heart of this dilemma lies the disconnect between cognitive intelligence and social intelligence. While a high IQ may contribute to success in academic or professional settings, it doesn't necessarily translate into an ability to navigate the nuances of social interactions. Many highly intelligent people find themselves struggling with small talk, social expectations, and the emotional needs of others. In fact, the more an individual is absorbed in intellectual pursuits, the more likely they are to experience a sense of isolation and a lack of genuine connection with those around them. 
    
  Furthermore, emotional intelligence—the ability to recognize and manage one’s emotions and understand those of others—is often underdeveloped in highly intelligent individuals. This creates a gap in understanding social cues, empathy, and the emotional nuances of human interaction. As a result, even when these individuals desire connection, they may inadvertently alienate others or fail to form the deep, meaningful relationships they long for.

  At the age of forty-three, Amy Lee Lillard learned she was autistic. She learned she was part of a community of unseen women who fell through the gaps due to medical bias and social stereotypes. 
   
   
   
  A Grotesque Animal explores the making, unmaking, and making again of a woman with an undiagnosed disorder. How did a working-­class background and a deep-rooted Midwest culture of silence lead to hiding in plain sight for decades? How did sexuality and anger hide the roots of trauma among the women in her family? And what does it mean to be a queer, disabled, aging woman, a descendant of wild but tamed mothers and a survivor of the things patriarchy inflicts? 
   
   
   
  Through wide-ranging styles and a combination of personal storytelling and cultural analysis, Lillard dissects anger, sexuality, autistic masking, bodies, punk, and female annihilation to create a new picture of modern women.
