| Imagine a year in the far future, within your lifespan, but many years. Your child falls out of favor with a witch who sends them back in time and will only let them return home if their parent-- you-- lets them by making them a potion and having them drink it. They get have the ability to make anyo... |

I love that, too!
BTW, I showed "Western Spaghetti" to my non-Autistic mom and brother. She didn't get it, he called it "disturbing". |

| I mean, I was on tumblr, (so doubt this if you must. :p) And I came across a video of someone cutting a red plushie thing up. It was sooo pleasing to watch somehow. Someone else commented that it was weird, then another said it was meant for Autistics, though others found it odd. I had no idea that ... |

Ye.
I felt guilty, because I did think they were very nice and were nice to do this for my dad. I liked them, I just didn't know how to respond to the attention.
I want to be comfortable with it, I feel like I just can't win. |

| When I'm at school, I'm ignored. People don't invite me anywhere. They don't seem to like me. Occasionally, they pay attention to me positively... And I hate it. I don't know why. About four of my dad's college students held a dinner for him. They ordered pizza and we all sat out on a pavilion. They... |

| I thought like that when I was younger. Now, my classmates speak of philosophy and politics on a high level. They outperform me at school. My IQ tests and SATs say I'm smarter than average, if not gifted, but I don't see it. IMO intelligence is hard to quantify and I find I'm happier if I appreciate... |

I wasn't rolling them at you, I was rolling them at fans who think he's Autistic. |

Your brother doesn't sound really all that "NT"--unless you mean that he's not autistic.
Yeah. Is there another name for non-Autistic? |
