What happens when a man who speaks in sparks meets one who listens in silence?
Can love grow between a heart that moves too fast and a mind that needs time to understand?
In a world built for the "typical," is there space for two neurodivergent souls to find each other-and stay?
Perth is all impulse and energy-a graphic designer with a restless mind, fueled by color, chaos, and caffeine. Diagnosed with mild ADHD, he lives by instinct, thrives on noise, and often burns out as fast as he lights up. He speaks in tangents, loves too quickly, and forgets why he walked into rooms.
Santa, on the other hand, is silence and precision. A data analyst with high-functioning autism (ASD Level 1), Santa lives by patterns, logic, and a world that makes more sense in binary. He doesn't understand metaphors, avoids eye contact, and keeps his life as structured as his spreadsheets.
But love, for them, is not effortless. It's miscommunications, shutdowns, sensory overloads, meltdowns, and deep repair. It's learning that affection doesn't always look like what you've been told. It's needing space, needing touch, and needing language that neither of them grew up hearing.
Perth and Santa build a love that doesn't need to be typical-it just needs to be true.
