Growing up, my neurodiverse traits were misunderstood.
The early 2000s and early 2010s were't easy.
Summer of 2008, my folks had an early morning family emergency.
Despite my being unable to process family emergencies appropriately,
my aunt made me ride to the ER.
I brought my Nintendo DS. I used it to self-regulate. A common trait.
One guy may use a teddy bear, and someone else may blast their iPod. Everyone is different.
For no reason, my aunt made me put the game away. I did nothing wrong.
Then my folks were surprised I was "being mean" when my grandpa was sick.
My aunt didn't have to make me go, yet it was MY fault for being "mean."
I wouldn't have been "mean" if my aunt didn't make me put the game away for
no good reason.
Overall, im inexperienced with being around sick people. You can't act surprised
When someone's inexperienced with sick people, being inexperienced with sick people
Of course, they may react inappropriately
