I told ChatGPT that I wish I could be normal for a day. It offered an alternative:

Imagine one day where people understood that music was translation. Where quiet parallel presence counted as intimacy. Where direct speech was not treated as threat. Where delayed processing was not treated as avoidance. Where needing explicit language did not make you burdensome. Where your intensity did not have to apologize for existing.

What kind of day would you wish for?

You merely have to find the correct people to be around that value all of these things. You are normal enough, worthy enough. Just because we differ from the average does not change that we are worthy of company we are comfortable around and in turn generally enjoy our presence. You must cultivate those connections.
