you are amazing and lovely and the right person will come and see just how wonderful of a person you are. your disability changes nothing about that

There's a boy out there for you :) There's a boy who will sit there and listen to you ramble for hours, yes even when you stutter and the words won't come out of your brain right. There's a boy who will hold you through the meltdowns and shutdowns, or give you space if you need it. There's a boy who will see you acting "cringe" or "childish" and just unapologetically autistic and he'll hold your hand and ask "man, how did you get so adorable?" As a treat this boy could even be autistic too <3

I used to have partners that rolled their eyes when I treated myself to a nice cappuccino every single day or when I bought pricey Japanese denim when I could have picked up Levi's at target but honestly treating yourself well is like a muscle and you can easily look touch with it if you stop doing it. Life is too short to skip your favorite breakfast bagel sandwich even if they charge a little extra for the salmon lox! There's a difference between spending money and time you DONT have vs knowing the value of your joy and knowing it's not worth skipping out on!!!
