Curate, connect, and discover
“you touched my arm and now i have to cut it off”
“i blinked wrong. i have to do it again. again. again. again. again. okay that’s better.”
“sorry i didn’t quite catch that. sorry could you just- yeah. what? huh? no i didn’t get that- could you just write it down?”
directions just go in one ear and out the other
and god forbid i have to talk to anyone with an accent
“i didn’t listen to that song right. i have to do it again. again. again. again. again. okay, better.”
the r a g e when your plan/routine gets disrupted
“oh that leaf brushed my left hand? okay cool now i gotta brush it against my right hand in exactly the same way or else i’ll Die”
“this has to be symmetrical or i will gouge my eyes out because it feels BAD”
the exhaustion that sometimes follows talking about a special interest
getting overwhelmed talking about/interacting with your special interest
“what emotion is this?”
“this is the only song i can listen to and it brings me a genuine feeling of relief/release to hear it. i must loop it over and over until i suddenly hate it. i don’t know why.”
randomly finding yourself thinking/talking like a robot and having to consciously switch on emotions/empathy
or the other way around, if you get overwhelmed
“loud noises are fucking terrifying and i will cry if i get caught off guard by one”
“someone i don’t like/trust/know touched this thing and now i can’t until it’s been washed”
p a i n
