The man stood in the porch in the dark. It was always dark here, but he liked standing on the porch looking out into that inky blackness. Not for any particular reason, he mused, deflecting himself from the true reason for his regular vigils. He lived alone, as, he assumed, did everyone else. It was […]
Waiting was always painful for her, but waiting for her loved one had taken that pain to new heights.
While it would be no lie to say that they’d both sacrificed a lot to finally be able to touch each other, to hug, to kiss, to sit next to each other in companionable silence, just soaking in each other’s presence. It was more true that her loved one, sitting in an passenger plane, with its cramped seating in the pressurized narrow metal tube, held aloft by human ingenuity and the roaring deafening sound of its engines, and, of course, the inordinate financial cost of such an endeavour, had made the greater sacrifice.

I’ve been writing some posts about Autism in a few other places lately, and I’ve been referencing the notion that Autistics brains neuronal connections are more structured and “fewer” than the “denser” more chaotic neuronal connections in a Neurotypical brain.

[Trigger Warnings: Misgendering, Childhood Trauma, Ableism, Bullying, Homophobia, Internalised Transphobia, Self Harm, Suicide, Mental Health, Medications, Hospital, Emotions, Bad Parenting, Dissociation, everything?] Insanely
The lack of considerate behaviour I’ve seen in apparently neurotypical people (given their sheer majority, I’m making the assumption that everyone I see exhibiting these behaviours are NT) when dealing with people they don’t know is astounding. Whereas I will often go out of the may to make sure I’m not, or won’t be impinging
