The worst part of learning about my autism, is seeing it in my mom. And seeing why she would be so frustrated with me. Because SHE learned to mask. Why couldn't I do it? Everyone had to! But no mom... not everyone did. And I'm so sorry that you were traumatized into this performance you can't make yourself stop. And you just die a little inside every day. But because of your trauma, you put that trauma on me too. I forgive that though. Especially now, seeing and realizing what your actions mean. How you go non-verbal. This whole time. This whole fucking time.
