As we've learned more about what it means to be a system, and to share a life with multiple people in one brain and one body, one of the many things we've come to accept is that we don't always get to know who's fronting and who's saying or doing something. Sometimes someone (we have no idea who) will take over for less than ten seconds just to make a ridiculous sound and send everyone else into a giggle fit XD
Scents are magically connected to our memories, and they trigger certain nostalgic moments.

one of the things that makes autism a disability (and why some of us choose to label it as such rather than anĀ āalternate neurotypeā) is the stress.Ā
part of autism is just being incredibly stressed. overstimulation? stress. holding a conversation? stress. something happening to our schedule? stress. people talk about how often autism is recognized and diagnosed via our stress responses (like meltdowns) because it is just so common to see autistic people stressed because of lack of accommodations to how our brains work.
and this matters because stress kills. stress causes a lot of health issues, or it can trigger pre-existing ones by making certain chronic conditions flare up. i once had a psychiatrist very unhelpfully tell me iĀ ājust need to manage my stressā when the stress i was describing was things i could not avoid in neurotypical society and canātĀ ājust get overā. i can doĀ āself careā all i like but i cannot at the very base level change the way my brain inputs information and reacts accordingly.

"Percy... this isn't how I wanted to do this. And gods know all the attention would appall you.
But - that day with you in Syngorn, when you stood next to me and allowed me to be part of something you hold dearest... I was so proud.
You stood up for me and I - I lied to you. I lied to myself. I hate that I was too afraid to admit it. You're fascinating and obstinate and - and the cleverest man I know.
You have to find your way back to us Percy. Because the truth is -"
