A Dream Come True

I'm a self dx autistic lesbian trying to survive college and rent and a customer service job, and this resonates with me. This story is charming and heart warming and it's basically my greatest wish come true. It makes me feel a little less alone.

On the nose humour

Falls a little short of what I was hoping for, but even so, it is really funny. It’s probably the most relatable humour I’ve ever heard. Quite entertaining.
