"Yeah but it doesn't affect you as much as the other's right"
"Your autism is so mild"
"You have gotten off easy"
she seems perfectly normal
she gets it
but she's gone through years of speech therapy
years of social therapy
and she's only made it this far this year
she seems normal
not spicy at all
her autism seems mild
she doesn't struggle with it
but she does
behind closed doors
when she has to remind her
talk today
do not shut people out
when she has to tell her self stay calm
do not shut people out
breath you are fine
normal right?
normal for her
is popping about 10 pills in her mouth everyday
normal for her is having to sit a room and discuss the kidneys
normal for her is not having a large group of friends
she does this year
she hasn't gone through therapy in a while
normal
she doesn't know what that is anymore
normal
is something she has always been far away from
normal
is something she slips away from
everyday
normal
spicy or mild?
