    They don’t want the gifted kid who turns into the mathematical supergenius, because either they get out of control in their own quest for world domination, or they get abducted by the government wanting to control them, and extract secret knowledge from their calculations. (My dad went the latter route)

    But they don’t know it, so when they get the ASD weirdo like me whose gifts are in fields they don’t yet understand (talking to plants, radical left wing sociopolitical theory, or in my case, the ability to recognize that my cat is enlightened sitting in his box) they’re disappointed that the government is not clawing in to take them away.

      (talking to plants, radical left wing sociopolitical theory, or in my case, the ability to recognize that my cat _is enlightened_ sitting in his box)

      Fucking relatable

      Also obviously cats are enlightened is this even up for debate? I thought everyone knew.
