Julia’s facebook status: April is Autism Awareness Month. I am a person, not a puzzle. It’s not rocket science.
Me: Oh, that explains why I can't find a box cover with your assembly instructions on it. Silly me!
Julia: It's okay. We have poor visual search skills, remember.
Me: Oh, the epic snark makes April bearable.
Julia: I do not snark. I am not capable of wielding language that well. I don't even know what I am saying.
Me: Oh man, you're right! Actually, I'm not even aware of your existence as a distinct human being, right now. Or mine, for that matter. Gee, how am I typing this?
Julia: It's your facilitator, not you. Duh.
Later:
Me: by the way can I put our snarky status comments up on my blog?
Julia: …I was just about to ask you
If I could do that
YES OF COURSE
(autistics don’t realize that we are individuals because we all actually think exactly the same thing!)
Wait...autistics are supposed to have poor visual search skills? But I thought you all thought in pictures!
