YMMV / Stitchers

• Diagnosed by the Audience: Kirsten has a neurological condition called "temporal dysplasia", which presents with a combination of symptoms: She can't experience the passage of time, meaning she has to use estimates about the amount of time things are said to take in order to mathematically deduce how much time has passed between events. Also, she suffers a reduced (but not completely absent) ability to experience emotion and she has trouble picking up on the emotions of others; in her youth, she had to use flash cards to learn the different facial expressions, similar to people with autism. The upside to her condition is that it makes her the ideal person to use the stitching technology. The tech works for her because her father designed it specifically with her in mind and it was an initial use of the tech that caused her neurological damage in the first place.
