Any chance we could get a picture of you holding a banana? Also this is the autism speaking but this seems like a good time to ask:
Obviously this is going to vary person to person, but with differences like yours I find them utterly fascinating. I get the feeling that a lot of people are put off by differences, but with me I feel they make someone instantly do much more interesting. I can understand not wanting to be reduced to one aspect of your identity however, especially something you didn’t choose. So my question is as follows: would you personally rather people, like strangers or more specifically someone you have to engage with like a cashier, take a positive interest in your differences, or simply pretend as though they don’t notice in order to not alienate you? From a mostly normal bodied person, I personally think I’d find the second more frustrating, but it’s not my concerns I’m worried about lol
