yesterday i visited a friend and we were talking about stuff, and i involuntarly interrupted him and started infodumping and stuff. When he told me he wasnt finished i felt so ashamed and i apologized, then he said “don’t worry about it. I know that you don’t do it with bad intent. You’re autistic and i don’t mind that much when you do it. I understand that sometimes you have these moments where you go off talking about stuff. You have a disabilty and that’s ok, don’t fret” (paraphrased from italian, the message i got was this) and for the first time, i felt understood and it made me very happy. I’m lucky to have such a good and understanding friend.
