I should probably join a book club 😄

I always struggle to find opportunities to talk about things that engage that live in the little knowledge gremlin part of me.

Your description of self awareness and trying to internalise alien social rules resonates with me so much.

Unlearning the rules that aren’t yours and finding the parts of you that you felt you had to put in the junk drawer like dead batteries is so hard sometimes.

Book club definitely helps listening to other people and clearing up my own junk drawer. I think I talked to myself a lot but learning how to write is definitely helping too ☺️

Loved this! I’m ND too. Diagnosed dyslexic and I think everyone including myself would be shocked if I was not autistic.
