The regular bus wasn’t full, so they didn’t randomly pick me and 3 other kids to be in the overflow bus. It was the literal short bus. I rode the short bus to school with the other autistic kids. How the hell did I get to 40 without realizing I was autistic? 😆
Kindness mostly. The kid mostly just liked to ask me my opinion on the most mundane things. Sometimes he’d try to block other kids from getting on the bus and I had to be firm about that, but as long as I told him whether I like peanut butter better than jam we were pals.
