    do you think their lived experience interacting with humans later in life is like autism x 1000 since they don’t even have the linguistic framework to make sense of what other people are saying and how they interact

      i genuinely can’t even speculate as to what their personal understanding of the world looks like but maybe? honestly kind of a fascinating question.

      also made me realize i have basically zero conception of what it’s like to live with autism
