All of the things that would be "awkward" for me to do around extended family are really not because of me or anything about the thing itself, but entirely about how my parents stopped telling anyone major information about me after like fifth grade
Like I can't bring have disability aids with me NOT because health stuff is weird but because it's much weirder that I have in fact had significant health problems since I can remember and have been disabled since, generously, 17 (more accurately 11 or 12) and my parents didn't tell anyone. I can't officially come out NOT because people would be weird about it (they would but I don't care) but because that would necessitate admitting that I've been living socially as male for going on ten years now and my parents never said anything and had me just. Pretend I wasn't. Like it's so funny now that I've had so many huge life changes that I CAN'T talk about it because the inevitable follow-up is "wait. This has been going on HOW long...?"

What would a telepath get when trying to read the mind of someone who has 0 internal dialogue.
Like, head full of thoughts, but no voice?
Or images??? What about those people with no internal dialogue AND aphantasia?

office holiday party today… old man took it as the dumbest excuse to give me a hug as if it’s been so long since I saw him last (Tuesday) or will see him again (tomorrow) or spoke to him (last night).. which also makes this the first physical embrace since the revelations began…. 🙏🧎♀️
