Thanks for this nice post and the link to the NYT article, which I'll check out next.
I was diagnosed last year as being on the spectrum. At the age of 53. Which answered a lot of questions like, why does it seem everyone is struggling less than me at this age? Not having an answer to that before now probably resulted (totally did) in a bit of schadenfreude for my fellow humans. Now I have a better perspective ... or at least a different one, that I think allows me to be more understanding and appreciative, and practice freudenfreude more often.
I will proudly call out - only not by name as I am not sure if he would like me to shout out!
I was gifted a subscription today because I was told I make things brighter...... but wait is that me doing Fnf or him doing it? Hmm I will get back to you....

I like helping my jiu-jitsu friends get better, but only after I've crushed them. Does that count? Can we call it Freudenschadenfreude?
