In 20/20 I Saw Much More Clearly

The article "In 20/20 I Saw Much More Clearly" by Roger Keizerstein reflects on the personal and professional impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly the author's experience transitioning to working from home and the unexpected benefits it brought, despite the broader context of suffering and loss. Keizerstein explores the concept of hypersensitivity in children, considering how changing parenting styles over generations may have influenced the prevalence of hypersensitivity, potentially through epigenetic mechanisms. He revisits an old manuscript about a hypersensitive child and reflects on how his understanding of the condition has evolved over time, leading to a renewed sense of purpose in his work.
