I'm discovering an ever increasing list of things I do because I'm #autistic that I thought everyone did (but they don't) and tbh think the world might be a kinder place if they did do them.

Like.. when someone is telling me about something they are very interested and excited in (like their #SpecialInterest, although I kind of hate that term), I google just so I can ask them meaningful questions that engage their excitement in their topic, even if I don't really care about it at all.

Apparently this isn't a 'normal' thing to do.

After reading a bunch of #introduction 's, I just want to send big happy vibes to all the folks out there who can't (or dont want to) describe themselves in a single sentence. 🤩🤩🤩 All the polymaths, jack's of all trades, #schooloflife students, and the folk who haven't worked out what they want to do when they grow up. You're my people! May you continue to confound the Algorithms, get confusing ad suggestions, may your bios be long and unfocussed 😁

@so_treu A lifetime of masking. A lifetime being a part of - yet apart from - society. A lifetime of accumulated mental & physical ailments, due to having to present a persona not our own. #AnActualAutist #NeurodivergentNotDisordered
