Status Updates From Wednesday's Child: Stories

wait i actually loved this chapter. i’m always interested in media regarding autism because people on the spectrum live such different lives, they see the world differently, perceive it differently, and experience it differently. they are also perceived differently whether it be bad or good, and this chapter shows it. becky, wondering if her autistic child was a punishment to her, the husband, unable to understand

i didn’t really like bella, as i read on i thought of her as arrogant, and ignorant but i kind of understand her, at least towards the end of the chapter. it was the kissing girls parasite within her, she never experienced it and got it out of her, so now it lives in her, deeply embedded and rotting her from the inside. now she chases the feelings from her childhood, just to feel again. still don’t like her tho

i think nina and katie should just leave their husbands and get married idk…do all marriages have to be successful and long, without love? does love exist in marriage? or does it just fade away with time? does it always have to go away?

auntie mei’s spreading that wisdom unto me!! she’s lowkey real asf like i get her and her mindset idk. i love these very vocal and opinionated consciouses in the character’s head, it’s almost like a second personality. the writing is so intriguing, it just keeps me turning the pages.

i lovee the writing. i’m really tired, and i’m in bed all cozy with a candle lit, so i was fighting sleep and had to re-read a few times, but i really do love the writing. i love the point of view this is in, the semi-anonymous voice in rosalie’s head, the imagery, the location, i’m really curious and looking forward to more!
