🚨Claiming a Metaphor 🚨 “You’re a wizard, Harry!” is how it feels to learn that you’re neurodivergent. There’s no hogwarts, but now you can #findtheothers and learn how to use your powers from them. Life as a muggle never made sense because you’ve never been one. https://t.co/vt451HZ6Cw
“Oh, aye, wizard-sight - take in and understand anything in a heartbeat, then move on to understand the next thing, wizards do. No need to read the same page twice, as they say! Muggles think it’s a problem with attention,ast I ‘eard. They just can’t keep up!”
“I bet ya feel things so strongly sometimes you could break. I bet ya love some toys or books or trees so much it hurts, more than the way your friends teased ya for it, eh? Ya’ve not learned to kill that yet, ‘ave ya? Yer going to need it! I’m glad we found you in time!”
“Now tell me, and this is very serious - did ya not have anyone who understood ya? Arch. Nobody at all? For all those years? Ah, ya must be ‘alf mad by now. Don’t you worry a wort, yer comin’ home at last! Ah, no tears now, this hanky isn’t very clean...”
“—I was going to teach ya a trick to use on doorknobs like this, but I see you already know it! How’d ya know to touch the knob on the left, then right, then right, then left? Probably they thought THAT was a “disorder” too, but honestly, show me a better way to boost yer luck?”
“Don’t me wrong, plenty of wizards are awful! When yer hurt and powerful yer a threat to everyone. ‘S’why we try so hard to find and heal the muggle-raised. Sometimes we’re too late, though. And o’ course there are Nazis here, too. Time for that later!” https://t.co/c5saiYFrGQ
