I think I have a similar mental world to the author (with important differences) but will say a few things:

- My lack of memories of my late mother has left me with untold grief in a way the passing of my grandparents did not.

- Mental health is too focused on the individual and the variation in our behaviour should be viewed not only with regards to our own individual fitness but also the fitness of our group and our kin. Most things that are decried as disorders are understudied in group settings designed to maximise the positives. And I despise people overhyping ADHD etc etc as some sort of superpower.
