I read the most fantastic book today, and this piece is sort of a fan fic in homage to it. ‘Anything But Typical" is the title, it’s told from the POV of a 12 yr old autistic boy. It is really awesome! Go read it!

:O Young love.

I kept thinking autism… and thinking that, though polite, looking someone in the face wouldn’t actually convey much

no, but we always ask for that, don’t we?
