Something that I've noticed a lot of autistic people do is, like, pine for a non-existent way of showing emotion, y'know? If I had a nickel for every neurodivergent I've heard wish they had a tail to wag or cat ears to flex or, like, the capacity to do cartoon sight gags irl I'd be pretty well-off.

And that's interesting because the pre-existing ways for homo sapiens to show what they're feeling like facial expressions of tone of voice are things autistic people generally struggle with. I wonder if that yearning for other social tools comes from frustrations with the ones they were born with.
