And I present: An autism PSA, but through Spinner. I hope you learn something. Yes this will become a series because it's very important to me.

Spinner: Alright. I have 4 minutes before I need to be somewhere, like, be there, not set off, so Imma try and make this quick and educational at the same time. So: the creator of this book, who we will be calling Akuma even tho you can find their name in their bio, and I are autistic and I know others who are as well. And, a thing that I hate about it is getting told off for saying 'I don't know' as a response to something. For me, Akuma and I'm sure a lot of others, have 'I don't know' as a default for answering questions, unless it's how hall pythons got their name, in which case it's cos they curl into a ball when scared, they have no right to be that cute, but that's a topic for another time. Back to the thing I was originally talking about. Yeah. 'I don't know' is a default for me and a lot of other autistic people, but that's not always what it means, here are some examples
• I've gotten in trouble for saying the wrong thing before and I'm scared of getting in trouble for saying the wrong thing again.
• I can't take anymore nagging/questions
• I'm worried that my answer will be embarrassing or showcase failure
• I feel like my answer is not going to satisfy you
• I'm genuinely currently having trouble identifying and describing my own feelings
• my mind is ACTUALLY blank.
• please don't be mad
• you can keep asking but I won't have a different answer.
• I kinda feel like a loser and I'm trying to cover it up.
And the reason I said 'I don't know' all the time in school when called on/in trouble (I'm still pissed at being wrongly accused of staring at the girls in the locker room just cos I'm a lesbian, I almost got suspended for that and I never did it)
• I do not wanna be here so I will become completely useless to you so you leave me alone/let me leave.
Obviously all autistic people are different so it will not be the same for everyone but I'd like to spread as much awareness as possible. Anyways, I gotta get to that place cos I am...10 minutes late, oh boy, so yeah. Bye.
