Moth on the Spectrum

Autistic as the day is long. I love Star Wars, moths, corvids, minerals, mushrooms, donkeys, and rescuing senior dogs.
Is that not hilarious? Normies are weird.

To find those who know you is a gift tinged with sadness. For every hour in their company there were hundreds without them. It's impossible to feel the joy without remembering the pain of growing up #neurodivergent.

I know that feeling. It's lied beside me at night. It's kept me company in endless crowds. It's been there for all my successes and my failures. It's held my hand when I cried, and celebrated with me in happiness.

To be placed in a world without choice and without one who knows who you are because they are the same. To feel alone and singular in the entirety of existence, and to be shunned by those who share your shape but not your nature.
That's #autism.

I've just finished Frankenstein, and I've felt such a kinship with Frankenstein's "monster", or Adam. I feel... pathos.
As an autistic man who's only recently been diagnosed this film actually meant a lot to me. I just want to say thank you.

Composting humans? It's always how I've wanted to end up. I like the idea of putting me in a burlap sack and planting me under a bulb of a cool tree.

Depending on the coffee is sure is. Add a little milk of your choice and it's like a peppermint latte.

I am autistic, but also... I'm a published poet. I'm married to an NT. I have played baseball, didn't care for it. I also worked in psychiatry and helped thousands of kids over 7 years. I have volunteered hundred of hours of my time to help third world counties.
We're not a burden.
Thank you.

You're our edgy Mr Rodgers, and I just want to make sure you hear from someone today how happy we are that you're in the world. May the force be with you, and thank you so much for being you.
