October 26th

I just watched extraordinary attorney woo for the first time and found out my mom is autistic. The character doesn’t talk until she’s 5 and gets diagnosed in the first scene. I teared up. I looked up if autism is hereditary for the first time and found out it is. Then i called her and she reminded me after I asked her that she didn’t speak until she was 6. I thought to myself that must be why her emotional reactions are special or abnormal and she has meltdowns. We’re going to watch the show together tomorrow. It’s so poignant I feel a heaviness in my chest. I love my mom so much. I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me about my mom earlier. I’ve thought about autism in my own life after I watched that suggested youtube video on autism in girls. The people at the hospital recommended I get tested too in our meeting they nodded in agreement.

The first thing i wanted to lookup when my dad texted me today was minecraft let’s plays.
