“My alphabet hates itself. Like ... imagine someone says, ‘Think outside the box.’ My hyperactive mind creates a sphere and laughs at the box and researches for hours on end how much better spheres are. Then my Autism freaks out that I broke the rules without realising there were any, and wonders why we are supposed to think
inside cardboard boxes in the first place. Surely being inside cardboard boxes isn’t comfortable.”

“No therapist teaches you about that. They just want you to know how to look neurotypical. Not to know how to vote or make your world different so you don’t look so wrong in the first place.”

“They all need lies, so many that I can’t keep up with which lies are white and which are colourful.”
― Peta Lyre’s Rating Normal
― Peta Lyre’s Rating Normal
“They said I could pass as normal, that I was clever and no one would ever know. They lied. Not about passing. The lie was hidden beneath, in the desire for me to be the same as them. I am extraordinary. They should have helped me soar, be more of me, not less.”

“The parts of me they fixed might not be broken. This anger is not a wasted emotion. It’s powerful and changes everything. This anger will fight.”
