one of the most inconvenient autistic things for me is how black-and-white-thinking turns anything that isn’t 100% ‘right’ or exactly as expected into something that’s ‘wrong’?
something changes or is presented to me in an unexpected way, or the sequence of something familiar is mixed up, and while my logical autistic brain says “oh, okay, that’s different and it will take me longer to get my head around but it isn’t the end of the world”, my emotional autistic brain screams “!!!!!!!!!!! (the world is ending)”
like, can you just let me live???
