So how does it feel to be autistic when you are overstimulated? It feels like: 20 cologne smells (all people around you are wearing different things, etc. Autistics smell all of it), like hundreds of kids running around you asking you questions in different languages, like you’re sitting in a chair that is missing one leg and trying to balance it while all that is going on, and lights flickering…too much, hence why autistics have Meltdowns.
“Kristina DesJardins Author, Autist

Human relationships are rich and they’re messy and they’re demanding. And we clean them up with technology.
And when we do, one of the things that can happen is that we sacrifice conversation for mere connection.
We short-change ourselves. And over time, we seem to forget this, or we seem to stop caring.

For too long, we've assumed that there is a single template for human nature, which is why we diagnose most deviations as disorders. But the reality is that there are many different kinds of minds. And that's a very good thing.

I’ve learned that every human being, with or without disabilities, needs to strive to do their best, and by striving for happiness you will arrive at happiness. For us, you see, having autism is normal— so we can’t know for sure what your “normal” is even like. But so long as we can learn to love ourselves, I’m not sure how much it matters whether we’re normal or autistic.
