Lighting my own candle…
Have you ever had a really good day when the world actually seemed to be OK, but somewhere deep inside a voice reminds you not to get carried away, because without fail, darkness always follows a sunny day? A sense of dooms descends as I wait to see what price I will pay for being allowed to enjoy such a positive day.
Those around me who aren’t autistic don’t understand my way of thinking on this.
They dismiss it and wave me onwards, encouraging me to enjoy the moment, to live for now. But I can’t, and I wondered if you might understand me.
