Well, it's, you know, it's difficult. I think it might be worth like just clearing up what autism is. Great. Exactly. You know, because there's a lot of, we'll just call it misinformation. And I think, so what it basically is, like if you want to boil it down to its bare bones minimum, is it's what animates you, what drives your central nervous system.

In neurotypical people, it is sort of what is important. So what drives your behavior is what is important and where you are in the social tribe. In neurodivergent people, it is what's interesting, and that can vary. The saying is like whoosh. You've met one person on the spectrum, you've met one person on the spectrum.

The particular place that I am on the spectrum is I have sensory processing disorder. Now, people can have sensory processing disorders and not be on the spectrum. That's important. distinction to make. But where I'm at, I do have that. I am turned all the way up to no filters. I'm very heightened. Some of them cross over a little bit. My taste and smell are kind of sometimes indistinct.

And then there are two others, vestibular and prosuception. So I'm hyper aware of my space. Clutter distresses me. And I have the vestibular is a balance issue. So I don't know where my head is in space. So I fall over. I have a lot of accidents. I hurt myself a lot. So it's just like this invisible disability that becomes very visible because I break my leg.

know that I was falling until it's too late. And so my, I broke my leg. It's fun times, good times. Um, last year I had a total knee reconstruction, same thing was falling before, you know, and it was too late. Gravity, gravity was always already my bitch. Um, and so my knee busted and the year before that I busted my nose open and then it was a broken toe.

Like I have, you know, if someone were to dig me up and, you know, after I was dead, like hundreds of years of time, they would dig me up and go, wow, I think we found a warrior princess. You know, because my skeletal system is, you know, it's like got the marks of war, but really I fell over walking. Yeah. So I'm playing the long game really.

So these are sort of, you know, not knowing these things that, you know, I have sensitivities was kind of a lot of the kid because, You see people behave in a way and interact and socialize in a way and you try and do that and I would get completely overwhelmed or disassociate because, you know, I have an oral processing disorder so I can't tune in to noise very well and sort it out in my head.

So it's very easy for me to just tune out and listen to people who are speaking English and go, wow, that's a foreign language.
