You know, and then, you know, you'd hear people deconstruct conversations and then they said this thing and that meant this. And I'm like, did it? I've learned so much. It's so much. And then, you know, once I was diagnosed, it was like, you know what, I don't actually care. You go talk amongst yourselves. I'm going to rearrange my furniture.

It felt like an exfoliation of shame. Wow. Because once you understand that you have ASD, you understand that there's not a lot in your control. It's less about being a bad person for not caring about small talk. And then you understand that it's not how you connect to other people. It's not how you connect to the world. I connect through my passions and my interests.

And when someone who's neurodivergent wants to connect to the world and to people, it's through those things. It's like, what is interesting? And neurotypical people, it's like, what is important? And neurotypical people interact and connect face-to-face. It's like direct interaction. Whereas I'm into parallel play. You know, you want to get to know me, you go over there and do what you're doing.

Yeah, I'm like the Costco of human interaction. It's just like we're just buying bulk and just a certain line of products, just one of each. Um, and you, I don't, I've never actually been to Costco. That sounds like a nightmare to me. Is Costco even a thing? It's a nightmare. Yeah. Yeah. It's just, yeah. So it's a really bad metaphor for me because I hate big shopping places. Uh, yeah.
