Intellectually Emotional

My autistic side demands: “This is how it goes. This is the most practical way.”

My ADHD sings: “This is what feels good. This is what makes us all dance.”

My first instinct is to be blunt and tell it exactly like it is.
But another part of me whispers: “Don’t disappoint them. Add some whimsy. Sweeten the edges with a little dollop of syrup.”

I am emotional and creative, yet I also deeply analyze and want to understand how everything really works.

I am, at my core, intellectually emotional.
