If I didn't have to worry about NT folks watching in a judgemental manner I would skip more often, instead of walk, when I'm happy; I would exclaim with joy more often, instead of pretending to be "reserved", I would sing more often, but I know not to do it in public, and so on. When I'm alone, I feel free. I can sing by myself in the car when I'm driving, skip in the woods. It's just like my form of positive expression is not received well by neurotypical audiences. Ah, the tyranny of the neurotypicals!!

I'd write my own bio, but I bet no one would publish it!Lili Marlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09303890038396510279noreply@blogger.com
