Dancing Close to the Edge of the Noise

trying to communicate... do you understand at all what i mean...?

#AskingAuDHDists…

bear with me a minute.
I'm autistic+ADHD.
71.

i feel like
a brilliant creative soul
as if…

trapped in a damaged body
& neurology

trying to communicate
with the world

through an intermittently
short-circuiting transistor radio
playing through static

& the distortion
& sparking circuits…

to just be heard.

do you understand at all what I mean?
