"When I speak to my parents, I don鈥檛 actually sound very grumpy. I鈥檓
usually quite cheerful sounding when I talk. I鈥檓 good at that"
"I continue to stare at myself in this mirror, and I imagine a voice
reminding me to be funny and chatty and happy, like normal people."
鈥淭here鈥檚 a time and a place for being normal. For
most people, normal is a default. But for some, like you and me, normal is
something we have to bring out"
and people... still think... she isn't autistic?...
I can so relate quinni NEEDING to solve the bird psycho problem. everytime i can鈥檛 find something or there鈥檚 a problem i can鈥檛 solve immediately i totally hyperfixate and sometimes get meltdowns over it
Although I wish there was more Quinni, I did like what they did with her storyline this season.
The first few episodes are a build up which you don't realise until Ep 5, about how hard she's trying to be there and fit in with her friends. And it's relatable (I'm actually autistic) because you do those sorts of things for people you love even when you don't entirely realise it because you want to connect with them.
It leading into the unmasking plotline towards the end was great. And very relevant for me as I'm also having to explore unmasking rn.
Also Quinni being action hero (in both Ep4 and Ep8) was so cool as I never see that with autistic characters.
