“Why are you so quiet today?” A little snippet from inside an autistic mind.

Have you ever walked into a packed bar or a football stadium?

Y’know, where you’re enveloped by that dull buzz of inaudible noise like you’re stepping into a wall of treacle?

Well, imagine that your brain tried to process every single word from every single conversation simultaneously.

Tricky, right?

I always remember watching the scene in Bruce Almighty where he starts hearing millions of prayers all at once and thinking:

“That’s exactly how my head sounds.”
