Um, so I have to focus really hard, which made learning very difficult. Uh, I was very lucky. My mum made all my clothes. Though there is a dark side to that. Cappadashry abuse is real. But, um, so I never had like the tag issues cause there was no tags on my clothes. Um, and she always used nice fabric in the, in the, in the texture quality, not necessarily the patterns.

No child needs to wear Harlequin sweaters. And then so there was a lot about my childhood that protected me from the worst of my ASD. I grew up in a really small town, and I was part of a large family, so I had a ready-made social network. I just fit in. But it was windy there. I grew up on a really small island on the northwest coast, and it's famous for its fresh air. Who knew? I did.

I just told you. And so it was really windy, and so I was always confused because wind throws sound around. Right. And so I was perpetually confused as a child. Like, you know, I was always given names like, you know, dithery or vague or dopey and, you know, these sorts of things. And I used to confuse people because on one hand I could be incredibly intelligent and then as dumb as bricks.

And the older I got, the more people would read into that, the less adorable I became and people would see it as willful or manipulative because I could – misunderstand what's going on and accidentally hurt people's feelings. But it would be an honest mistake on my behalf, but it would be difficult for people to believe that because, you know, on the next breath, I could be incredibly intelligent.

Yeah, there's no subtext for me. It blows my mind. when, you know, people are saying, I was just being polite, but really, you know, the person they were being polite to leaves and they're like, I hate them. I'm like, you were so nice to them. How are they supposed to know? I didn't know. Now I was nice to the person I'm supposed to not like.
