I’m like Batman. I can overcome anything given enough prep time.
Like, making a phone call.
My SO's therapist said they couldn't be autistic because they could maintain eye contact.
That was the last time they went to that therapist.
What does this 2 hours of preparation before work look like? I honestly have no idea
Triple checking that you double checked everything and mentally preparing to go outside to play human in the hopes that no one notices that somethings off. Doesn’t really matter, there’s a thing to do and you can’t do anything till that is crossed off the list
100 %.
