One* thing I really, desperately, want for neurodivergent folks (and queer/trans folks, and disabled folks, which have many overlaps) is for y'all to stop trying to flatten your experiences.
It truly is as though you think either everyone must have the same experience, or no one must.

I love how they each have their own ideas about comfort, companionship, and fun.

Brain Salad Surgery was the 4th studio album by Emerson, Lake & Palmer, released on 7 December 1973 by their new record label, Manticore Records, and distributed by Atlantic Records. Even more successful than its predecessor (Trilogy), it made No.2 in the UK and No.11 in the US. #BrainSaladSurgery
