Niece was telling us how her manager thought it was so cute her grandma dropped her off wearing a unicorn onesie. She told him she taught her brother his first ever spelling word. "Bitch". He was flabbergasted that the woman who showed up in a unicorn onesie would do that. 😂
Me: (thinking it's fairly on brand for mom) the first thing you ever taught niece was how to head bang
Mom: uh no, i think that was a YOU thing.
Me: no, cause you were very proud of it?
(Mom mistakes head banging as banging your head against the wall, which I did as a small child)
Me: oh yeah, no, I file that under "things that identified me as autistic". But not your fault! They didnt have that back then.
Mom: yeah but it's not like you did it out of stress..
Me: Oh, no. It was a stim. I liked the vibrations. I remember doing it. 👀
