kay!! you’re too kind, thank you so much for all the love 😭💜

here’s a little aspi rewrite/rework snippet for you, one i have been thinking about for literal years:

Sylvie watches them carefully. “You knew that song.”

Nova shakes their head adamantly, lower lip sucked between their teeth. The accusation is crazy - the least feasible explanation for the lump in their throat, they’re sure. The look the variant gives them makes them want to be swallowed by the couch, to disappear out of the carriage and get as far away as possible. They want Mobius, now more than ever. It takes a moment for their voice to claw itself free and they croak, “Shut up.”

-Solo cuando hay gente-

So it starts at a music competition (performers come out in alphabetical order of they're last name)

two parents are taking (they don't know each other) they're jus talking shite and one of them brings up that one of their children has autism.

the person preforming on stage finishes the song and that introduced the next preformer and the parent says that's my son

He comes on stage looks all nervous and is real awkward he sits down at a piano and fidgets around to get comfy then inaudibly mumbles they're name and what song they're gonna play he plays some classicl piece and plays it perfectly

cut back to the parents

Parent 1: oh my you sons so talented (scrunches up they're face) dispit all his set backs

Parent 2: one I'll assume you don't know enough to realize how bad you worded that and two my son doesn't have autism my daughter dose and she's on next

Cut back to the stage

Boom she steps out hair in a messy bun makeup real thick and dark brandishing a real beat up guitar covered in anarchist stickers. She stomps her doc Martin on the stage for a drumbeat and starts play folkpunk

Cut back to the parent

They're son's now sitting beside them now they're sister's song almost done

They're just talking about how they did great and they're glad the son listend to they're sister and...

Crash she kicked the Mic down continues to play the guitar as she jumps off the stage and walks out through the main entrance for the audience she finished her song but dosent care about the competition as she had a deal with her brother that if she entered he would too (he's shy)

Play the title of the movie

So I am autistic and I fuckin can't stand the

the autistic plays classical music trope

Autistic people: then why do you call yourselves “autistic moms”

Autistic moms: ....... don’t worry about it ....

we all love recommending things to friends right? Movies, shows, Music etc...

The issues with Autism if we tend to have -Special Interests- and things that we might somewhat on and off kind of be interested in. 

If we’re in a special interest mood, which can last a few minutes or until the special interest changes. Don’t be offended or disheartened if we don’t share your enthusiasm for whatever this thing is. I know you really want us to get into it. But we might not have room on our plates right now.

When I’m having a special interest in something, no matter how long it lasts. Everything else is kind of... secondary. I can be into it for a little while, but then will always go back to my special interest.
