This month is #AutismAwareness month and I’ve wondered out loud in the past if I was actually on some kind of spectrum or not. But I’d rather live with the mystery than drag myself through the quagmire of our health system. And for what? To possibly end up with a fun new pre-existing condition? I’m not looking for a reason for these bastards to raise my health insurance premiums.
I’ll do the testing after I know I won’t pay some horrifying Capitalism-related price for it.
Anyway, whatever my brain is, it’s Awesome. So for me, this is gonna be #AwesomeBrainAwareness Month. Hello. My brain is awesome. Did you know that? You now. That’s awareness! Bloop.
If you’re jealous, thanks!
I’ve always been freakishly smart. I stopped showing my reports to my mom out of sheer malaise. I got straight A’s as a matter of course. School was pretty easy for me, aside from the bullies and terrible people. But I decided to get an engineering degree just to work on my weaknesses in math. (Seems like an overreaction in hindsight.)
I’ve always never really been comfortable around normal people. My brain is like an overclocked computer. They usually slow me down. It’s annoying and I hate it. I can’t contain my bad feelings. Nope, contempt shows up on my face like a sunburn on a British tourist. (Hi, I’m from Florida) This is partly why I like masking. Because stupid people can’t judge me by my facial expressions.
That’s probably some neurodivergent bullshit right there. I dunno.
Anyway, whatever’s going on with my brain isn’t something I merely accept. I embrace it. I celebrate it. Yay me, I’ve got this thing. My brain is amazing. Let me share with you some of its contents. You’re welcome. #AwesomeBrainAwareness
See, I love to preach self love *and* being very annoying.
Tell someone something about their awesome brain today.
-Love, Joolz
Own it!!!! I love your unbridled ego!
