And what if life is just a collection of essentially unrelated experiences? Why does one thing have to follow meaningfully from another?
“What non-Autistic folks often don’t realize is that Autistic people experience intense sensory input as if it were physical pain.[6”

“One of the basic things which I was a long time in realizing, and which I am still learning, is that when an activity feels as though it is valuable or worth doing, it is worth doing. Put another way, I have learned that my total organismic sensing of a situation is more trustworthy than my intellect.”

She simply must put her foot down and say no to half of what she believes she "should" be doing. Art is not meant to be created in stolen moments only.”
