It's so infuriating when I'm getting ready to bake or cook and I'm missing ONE ingredient. Just one! I don't want to have to run to the store for one thing!!!

After 36 years living amongst neurotypicals I have learned that their social rules are constantly fluctuating depending on the situation, context, relationship, phase of the moon. Okay, that last one may be a joke.
Maybe.

I enjoy socializing with friends, but I can't do it for long. Thankfully my partner understands when we have to leave early.

When there's discussion about school bullying it's always about students bullying students. Rarely do I see discussion about the teachers being the bully. Some of my worst bullies were my teachers.

While good communication is integral in any relationship, learning to communicate with my neurotypical partner felt like having to learn a new language. Our relationship had a few bumps before we realized that our communication styles were completely different

I'm terrible at physical and verbal affection. I show affection through doing favours and gifting homemade food. It's important to find people who are willing to learn your love language.

There's a theory that children who were accused of being changelings that were swapped out by faeries were actually just autistic children. I find this bizarre since neurotypicals act more like fae folk than we do.

For people who require alone time it's so important to be with someone who respects that need.

My partner can say something to me and I'll forget it immediately because my brain decided that paying attention is passé.

Neurosplainers: neurotypicals who claim they know more about autism because they have an autistic child, or autistic clients, or took a class about autism one time.
They behave like this with other neurodivergent individuals as well.
