For anyone who thinks being autistic is a superpower…..
I couldn’t sleep last night because my brain kept shouting “LUKE LITTLER” on repeat.

A young fella who looked like he was auditioning as a stranger things extra told me my hair was ‘sick’.
He followed it up with ‘that’s a good thing’ which made me feel about 200 years old.

Or
