Let’s not idealise autistic people, it’s borderline fetishising with a touch of aspie supremacy. My autistic father has a soul of a feral dog pack when he doesn’t run them over on purpose.

Mine is: sticking with my principles and with doing the right thing even if I could "simply" ignore them and enjoy more things and having a really hard time explaining it because most people don't understand "justice" or "doing the right thing" as a feeling.

And being called dumb by NTs frequently because of this.

I really hate being social with them...

Feeling like, every time I'm in a group of NTs, that if we were stranded on a desert island they'd vote to eat me first.

And having a lot of social anxiety because of that feeling. But also having a lot of empathy for others while constantly being misunderstood, vilified, and ostracized by those same people.

What's "Viral Synesthete" supposed to mean?

This but like, all the time.

I also have the soul of a raccoon, but it’s buried in a pile of blankets, chips, and watching cartoons until it’s warm out again. Then my raccoon soul bathes in the sun with those same chips and cartoons.

My nervous system is an opossum on three cans of monster energy that’s trying to cross a freeway, blindfolded.

The ADHD probably plays a role in some of that, lol.
