I don’t want to just shine a light on autism,
I want to ignite a supernova over it,
Maybe a type 1a supernova,
Since those are, after allβ¦
The standard issue candles?

Thank you :). Yes, including those with autism who’ve been made to believe all kinds of things π¦. The history of autism is really tragic and getting access to services is still a major challenge.

This made me think of how I seem to experience everything more deeply than everyone around me. Like the world is on fire for me while everyone else is just chillin. Very super nova esque.

Cool! That wasn’t intentional as such but it is fitting :D. Was just a nerdy comment initially haha. Yeah I totally feel like that too. The things which are painful/stressful are more so, and the things which inspire awe and are amazing are tooβ it’s easy to get caught up in the romanticism of things as it seems so self-evident, childlike curiosity is still very much the default. And for me nothing else does that like thinking about the universe, or reading about human explorations of it!

I’ve been returning once again to this original passion of mine lately :). And there’s a new mars rover landing on Mars in just a week! This is my real truth and I’ve been dissociated from it for ages with all these other issues, which is a constant pain when I’m not engaged with it.

I get that β a lot. Feeling pain if Iβm not engaged in what Iβm passionate about.

Wow thank you! That’s really comforting. That’s something I’ve been really experiencing over the last few years with so much disruption in my life. And even before that, when I tried to make a living through computer programming, when really I’d rather be exploring the universe or helping people π, since they’re the only two things which feel of any value. And on top of everything else, the reading OCD was blocking me for several years up until now. Quite a trauma! The only way through it is practising engaging fully with the now :). Which is the healthiest way to live, anyway.
I think autistic savants are the most extreme example of this kind of thingβ where someone is impelled to practice a specific thing so much that they naturally become a savant (like Mozart).

I totally think so too. For so long I was like stifled by trauma I felt like couldnβt write. Itβs like slowly coming back I think. Thatβs all Iβve ever wanted to do.
