It’s not an accident that my body sings.

Rings, like a tuning fork bashed, dipped into a river to ripple the fish to sleep.

Light.

What is it all for?

A nervous system shedding its scars. A river sending them out to sea.

This is what I like to think of my new body. The one that glows when I shed a layer.

The one that creates, and shines, and creates again.

This is not autism. This is light.

The light showed me an Autistic girl who needed to be loved.
