Social interactions do not always have to involve talking - many of my catchups consist of activity based pursuits such as gaming or going to the movies. Even though it may appear that we are not doing much, for me socialising isn't defined by how much we speak; it is being in the presence of one another. It is refreshing for me to be around people with whom there is no pressure to be constantly talking. 🦄🌈🧠♾️ [Text: Autism Actually. Many of my social interactions occur with little or no words at all - while to some this may appear anti-social, for me there is power in shared silence. Shadia Hancock.
