So I saw my psychiatric nurse the last time yesterday. I gave her that basic card I mentioned in another post and small box of Polish chocolates. On the card I wrote this message: Thank you for all the support I received from you. I will always remember your kindness and dedication. Good luck in your new job.

Kindness and dedication – have you noticed that neurotypicals like to say the same message twice, using different words? So I decided to do that too a few years back. After a while I can actually say that it makes more sense to me, it feels like I’m creating a pattern: pattern of appreciation, pattern of apology, you know what I mean. It is difficult for me to gather how this is being seen, but I doubt it could be considered rude.
