      Yesssss!! I agree. We're so used to having to apologize for being autistic, that it's nice to be proud of related strengths. Thank you for pointing that out.

      • Thank you very much. I googled autism merch today. It’s disgusting. 90% of the stuff is shit and most have the puzzle piece or „please be patient I‘m autistic“. I wanted to puke!
