“As far as monks are concerned, I believe that they are bad experiencers. They know nothing about the struggles of a normal human being. The struggle to stay alive. The struggle to survive in this capitalist world. The trauma of being in a bad relationship. Juggling between the myriads of emotions and sentiments. These monks are oblivious to such battles which a normal human being fights every day.”

“The thing is, masking isn't always good. It takes a lot of effort and energy to hide a big part of yourself, even if you're not doing it intentionally. Masking is a bit like going into survival mode. You do it because you have to, rather than because you want to; and while everyone has the ability to mask to some degree, for autistic people, we can spend most of our lives doing it without even realizing.”

“If Yui had to describe this feeling, this pain, she would say it was like the stabbing contractions that preceded childbirth, the wonder of the process she had experienced when her daughter was born: closing to open again, contracting to then dilate, clamp and hold, then spread your legs wide and push. A total paradox, essentially, like one of those things you only find when you've stopped looking for it. Like love, true love, or children that won't come.”
