    “There's a famous expression that if you've met one person with autism, then... you've met one person with autism.
    So you met me.
    Just me.
    Not a diagnosis.

    I realize I hurt you. I forgot to think about you first. I did not put myself in your shoes, as the expression goes. (Though as a sidebar, I think wearing other people's shoes is kind of disgusting; I'm only okay with the concept metaphorically.)

    So you know, you are all I think about.”

    “Home wasn't a set house, or a single town on a map. It was wherever the people who loved you were, whenever you were together. Not a place, but a moment, and then another, building on each other like bricks to create a solid shelter that you take with you for your entire life, wherever you may go.”

    “I never noticed birds before, but now I see them all the time.It makes it nicer, you know, even if you're just going for a walk, like in a place where you walk all the time, or just sitting and looking out the window.

    “Why is it that some people -- mainly women, my own age-- feel the need to patronize me? It usually happens with the ones who are mothers. It's like my not having kids, not being married and now not having a job keeps me in some kind of childish state in their minds.”

    “The monsters were never
    under my bed.
    Because the monsters
    were inside my head.


    I fear no monsters,
    for no monsters I see.
    Because all this time
    the monster has been me.”
