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

for no monsters I see.
Because all this time
the monster has been me.”
― Nikita Gill

“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.”
― Julie Buxbaum, What to Say Next
