My grandfather recently passed (this past Thursday) and me and my parents went to his house for the first time since his passing. He had a bit of a reputation for being blunt when it came to topics he was knowledgeable about (which we attribute to his undiagnosed autism). We knew he had an extensive t-shirt collection but seeing how all the tags were cut out made me realize that maybe he wasn’t trying to be mean all those times but he was just over stimulated and someone asked him a question at the wrong time. I am also autistic and I cut out the tags in my shirts. I can lash out when overwhelmed. It’s just crazy how you can see more of a person even after they are gone.
