Thank you, autism. You have gifted me so many things, like the ability to hear when a light bulb is on, a vague sense that I am constantly wasting everybody's time, a love of food that feels great in my mouth and tastes like cardboard and now: this vague pain in my arm.

My sister had to call me up and tell me, "listen, you have a formal diagnosis of autism and that is on the list of conditions that let you get it before general rollout. You are not jumping the line."
It helped.
