    Ain’t that the fucking truth.

    In a weird way autism may have partly spared me from a lot of mental trauma and issues. Growing up I went through a lot of things that tends to people having a lot of self doubt, anxiety, people pleasing tendencies, etc. I knew from a very young age though (maybe not as concretely as I do now) that what was happening to me wasn’t my fault. Like sure I knew I was a kid and that certain things about me were difficult, but it was very clear to me when the things adults did made no sense or were hypocritical. That’s not to say I didn’t end up with other issues like poor social skills, but that still seems a lot better than the previously mentioned options.

    Also, I’m still wanting to know when I get all the taxes I paid back since we apparently aren’t ever supposed to be paying taxes.
