( No Title )
every now and again i think “surely it can’t be that weird for a child to sort things, it has to be something every child does”
and then i remember that my mother finally had an allistic child after two autistic kids in a row and was baffled and annoyed to find out she couldn’t just keep him occupied by sticking a box of unsorted buttons in front of him and let him sort them
like my mother thought, exactly like i do sometimes, that surely every child must just sit there and sort whatever is in front of them but no, actually, most of my non autistic peers didn’t do this and thought i was a fucking weirdo for doing it
anyway i still struggle to believe that most people don’t find deep enjoyment in sitting there and arbitrarily sorting shit. what do they even do if they need to do data entry? do they just suffer? weirdos.
