🌀 Zoned Out, Tuned In, and Giggling
🌀 Zoned Out, Tuned In, and Giggling
Yesterday at work, I had one of those moments. You know, the kind where the autism just takes over—in the best possible way.
Me and John were working, and I was standing at the counter beside him, totally vibing in my own little world. He suddenly said my name, and I turned my head slowly to the left with a massive, shit-eating grin plastered on my face. Without missing a beat, he goes, “It’s the autism.”
And just like that, I snapped back and started giggling.
Turns out, John was on video chat with our friend Silas. He told Silas I had been staring off into space with that goofy grin, completely gone in the void. So Silas, being Silas, wanted to see it for himself and called my name through the video chat.
I did the slow head turn again—still not totally back in reality—but that giggle I let out? Priceless. Silas died laughing.
Honestly? It felt so good to be known like that. No judgement. No trying to “snap out of it.” Just two friends noticing the autism was autisticking, and enjoying the moment for what it was: sweet, funny, and 100% me.
