I do not remember the exact moment I realized I was not like everyone else. It was not one big moment. It was dozens of small moments that accumulated over the years until they became impossible to ignore. A teacher giving me a confused look. A classmate sighing with impatience. The way everyone else seemed to instantly understand things that made my mind freeze. Not just a feeling of not getting it, but a feeling that my brain could not form the pathway to understand it. Like trying to grasp smoke.
