Autistic Hedgehog

Not really. Because you’re autistic, it’s pathologized and a lot of people will think it’s weird. But they’re hypocrites, because they wouldn’t bat an eyelash if an allistic person, say, confessed that they didn’t leave their room or shower for days while they were working on their thesis. It’s one of those things that potentially anyone could do, but it’s only seen as a sign of something wrong in people like autistics.

Do try to remember to eat and get some sleep, though. I know it’s not always easy when one’s distracted by something they enjoy, but I’d hate to see anyone wind up sick.

(Please don’t ask me how someone who has as little maternal instinct as I do ended up such a freakin’ motherhen, because I really don’t know.)
