Because there are two sides to every binary…

In my last post, I picked two photos in which I was pretty aspie-looking (or, aspie-looking according to aspie stereotypes). How rhetorical of me. Here’s me being rhetorical again, with another photo, this one less conforming to the typical autistic portrait:

me, steph, and stuffed animals

Look! I’m SMILING! (gasp — autistics can smile?)

And look! I’m with ANOTHER HUMAN BEING! (gasp — autistics and humans? in the same room?)

Oh, but look — I’ve lined up all of my stuffed animals. Oops. I’ll try to be less orderly from now on.

Oh, and did I mention that the other HUMAN BEING (or not) in the photo is also on the autism spectrum? My bad. Unfortunately, my parents decided to continue reproducing after they had me. If only Autism Speaks had forewarned them…
