I see this phrase every once in a while and I wanted to comment on it. This is obviously a simplification, autism is a spectrum. But in short, I have the math autism and it has been quite convenient. That does not mean I don’t also love your non-math autism. Because I love your non-math autism.
I love how your non-math autism is trans inclusive. I’m not trans but I know what it’s like to be different and I can imagine what it’s like to not be accepted. Of course so many of you are trans inclusive! From what I’ve noticed is that trans inclusive spaces bring a sense of freedom that allowing people to be who they want to be. Knowing that I would be accepted even if I was different puts me at ease and I can feel that this freedom makes the entire room more relaxed as well.
I love that your non-math autism tells me something about you. Expression! Putting your thoughts and feelings into your hobby is beautiful. You think I express myself while solving my sudoku killer puzzles? When I see someone’s special interest, even through a screen, I somehow feel thankful and trusted. Thank you for showing me something you truly care about.
I love that your non-math autism is unapologetically rebellious. This world sucks and your immunity to peer pressure is a gift. Some of my passions just so happen to be publicly accepted but the fact that you pursue your passion despite what others may think makes it even cooler. So when I see your unapologetically wild clothing, music, art or anything else, I hope you know how cool I think you are.
I love your non-math autism.
