Alice  Franklin
“If things were up to you, if you were the ruler of the world, languages would be unspoken. Instead of speaking, people would carefully consider the thoughts they want to express and then write them down. That way, there would be no misunderstandings based on unintended tonal shifts, unintended emphasis, unintended facial expressions.”
Alice Franklin, Life Hacks for a Little Alien

Sol Smith
“It’s a common quality of autistic thinking that we aren’t sure which details are considered necessary by others when making a point or telling a story. What’s funny about that — and we will dig into this later — is the certainty that the reader or listener has a better idea of what these details are than the person doing the explaining and that it just so happens that the correlation between the included details and the patience of the listener is one to one. This raises no red flags at all. It just “is what it is.” This makes sense because their attention has to be engaged — but it also seems unfair.”
Sol Smith, The Autistic's Guide to Self-Discovery: Flourishing as a Neurodivergent Adult
