“Then again, a few times in my life, I have experienced the thrill of genuinely being able to help someone through telling them something that no one else would. It’s a hell of a high, but a risky one.”

“Autism diagnoses rarely come as a surprise in the sense that the recipient didn’t perceive anything different about themselves; they tend to come as a surprise only in that the recipient didn’t expect autism to be the answer.”

“What if the unfair person you are standing up to is part of the system? What if you get these boiling reactions to what you perceive as injustice but the person dishing out the injustice is a bouncer? Or a policeman? Perhaps it is an abstract moral ‘superpower’ but it’s also another way in which autistic people are vulnerable, especially those who are less able to mask or suppress their reactions.”
