To be honest, they'd probably get a kick out of someone that might understand them and their thought processes better than the average neurological person.

I think you meant neurotypical.

But this is totally me and my nephew! My god, I could geek out over magnets and dinosaurs with that kid for days. I've almost got him convinced that the Paw Patrol are cops at best and class traitors at worst. And I guess I'm also teaching him my speech and language coping strategies that I had to learn the hard way, back before autism was even recognized as a real thing.
