Full comic at the link. Also on video at the link.

I’m pretty much of the opinion anymore that “neurotypical brains” (aka “normals”) are the outliers and definitely not the majority.
I never could stand being in crowds; when making public appearances I always have to throw up beforehand but once I get to the podium/stage I am somehow sealed off from the audience — they are totally no longer there and everything is OK.
Motor skills? I have been a major klutz all of my life — I’m surprised that I haven’t broken more than two bones in these 64 years. OTOH, I do beautiful calligraphy (if I do say so myself) and can also handquilt stitches so tiny and even that people initially mistake it for machine stitching.
Pisses me off when people use autism as an excuse for being an asshole, because being an asshole requires no excuse other than “you’re an asshole”.
