@yourautisticlife My experience of life if I were neurotypical would be so different. I’d still be aromantic and asexual, still be physically disabled, and possibly more extroverted. I’d be isolated because of the physical disability, there’d be no community to be a part of, I’d struggle to find a work from home job because I’d still be unable to commute, probably lonely too. My store also wouldn’t exist and I might not have even had a business. My quality of life would be very bad and lonely, and I’d struggle hard with the isolated life and probably be a touch starved person. My quality of life and experience of life is so much better because I am autistic and neurodivergent.

@yourautisticlife Same on so many levels, but with obvious wrinkles in the details.

@yourautisticlife If there's one thing we are good at, it's navel-gazing. A lifetime of desperately analysing everything, up to and including the kitchen sink, to try and make something, anything, make sense, will do that.
