So... I learn for the first time about being social and making more friends. Things seem very strange after all this time with no noise. Like I will overload and sometimes like I have so many things I want to say nothing comes out at all. Even when it does it seems to stutter and get stuck. I feel frustration building when people won't have the patience with my words and continue coming back to social sites like SG where... I have time to think on the words and spell checks and so many things suddenly that feel like I try so hard only to say so little. Speech therapists and occupational therapists tell me: Slow down. Breathe. My friend Leslie is happy that I am finally talking with other people. I imagine years of awkward questions she has no answers for and the answers are out there with other people. The world seems... terrifying and... amazing all at once.That's most all I can think of now.
