This is the first part of a planned series where I share the stories of neurodivergent people I've met. After waiting through the 5-second disclaimer, please just sit and relax, each part passes after 6 seconds. WARNING: This story implies dark themes, and discusses LGBTQ+ matters and struggles. This is not the project for you if that makes you uncomfortable. Hateful speech is not to be tolerated. A disclaimer with more specifics has been tolerated, as these are important matters that should be taught to others as soon as possible.
Thank you to my best friend for allowing me to share your story. I have kept your name private for the sake of protecting your identity.
