Autastic

A fantastic & Autistic (or ASD related) state of being. Descriptive of the times as follows.

It's when I stim in church as a form of praise, and when my family I chose for myself accepts me as I am.

It's when Daniel Tammet recited Pi to the 22k something decimal point, when Microsoft was founded, and Temple Grandin grew up.

It's when Hollywood portrays my brain cousins accurately, and one of us gets to interrupt somebody comparing us all to Raymond Babbit.

It's when we get awards for doing something that we specialize in.

It's when our enhanced honesty gets rewarded.

It's when our speciality brings a great joy that not many at all can understand.

Autastic is when we do something awesome, like taking exactly one 3 hour flight over Rome, and drawing it in near perfect detail. Pulling a Stephen Wiltshire
