#NerdsUnite: The time a square walked into a bar (and not the kind of square you’re thinking)
After that night, I recognized a pattern of me going somewhere, and 10 or so minutes later, the same “off body language” person would show up. Not the same person, a person with the same “off body language.”
#ActuallyAutistic: What Are Signs of Disrespect in a Relationship?

Hi, my name is Jen Friel and I just found out I have Synesthesia. Do you have it too?
After I was diagnosed in February, I worked with an animator who also has synesthesia to describe what I see. I’ve spent the last nine months trying to explain it to myself. See all syntesthetes (what we are called) experience synesthesia differently. To some people Monday may have a color, or the number six may have its own personality. The details oddly aren’t important, what is important is the hyper-connectivity and processing in our brains that act as LEGIT super powers.
#OpenLetter: Dear Grandma & Grandpa – you guys sucked (and you weren’t even the Hoar in this scenario)
