Autistic Hedgehog

[“You go to conventions and enjoy them? You can’t be autistic!”

So wait, which do I stop spending my money on? The cons or the noise-dampening headphones?]

Admittedly, the last time I was at a convention, the noise and crowds were too much for me to handle. This doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy myself at all, but I had no way to combat the issues I did have. Thinking about it, I figure noise-dampening headphones would be a pretty good way to get around some of the issues that crowded con halls might cause, and I wouldn’t be surprised to find some autistics do just that so they can enjoy their cons without so much overstimulation.

Which, I think, would lead to some confusion when it comes to this particular statement. Which one are you supposed to give up!? (That was not a serious question, I’m being facetious.)
