Any other neurodivergent people feel like they underreact to things you’re “supposed” to have a huge emotional reaction to—death, breakups, terrible news—but then completely lose it over things everyone else thinks aren’t a big deal?

My girlfriend sent me a screenshot of her conversation with her best friend. She was complaining about me. Nothing unusual. Then I noticed something. Her best friend had replied: “Girl, just leave him.” My girlfriend answered: “I can’t. He knows too much.” I immediately asked: “Knows too much about what?” She stopped typing. Then called me. She said, “It’s not what you think.” Which, honestly, is the worst sentence anyone can hear. I asked her what she meant. She said she was talking about a surprise. I didn’t believe her. Then she said: “Okay. Come downstairs.” I went outside. Her best friend was waiting there. With a cake. I thought they were throwing me a surprise birthday party. Then I remembered my birthday was three months away. I looked at both of them. Nobody spoke. Finally, her best friend said: “Okay, this isn’t how we planned it.” I asked what wasn’t how they planned it. My girlfriend sighed. Then handed me an envelope. Inside was a hotel reservation. For two people. I looked at her. She said: “Please don’t get mad.” I said: “Who am I supposed to be mad at?” She pointed behind me. Her mother was standing there. Holding luggage.

My sister, who bakes for a living out of her house, watched me pull butter straight from the fridge and cream it with sugar while it was still cold and hard, resistant against the mixer. "How long did that sit out?" "It didn't. I just took it out." She stopped what she was doing entirely. "That's the whole thing, right there." "It's just butter. I figured room temperature was more of a suggestion." "Room temperature butter traps air when you cream it. That trapped air is what holds the dough's structure while it bakes, before the butter fully melts. Cold butter doesn't trap nearly as much — it just melts fast and flat the second it hits heat, with nothing holding the dough up while that happens." She had me start over, butter properly softened this time, forty-five minutes on the counter instead of straight from the fridge. Same recipe, same oven, same tray. The cookies came out of the oven noticeably domed, soft in the center, nothing like the thin discs I'd been pulling out for months. I'd blamed my oven temperature, my baking soda's freshness, the altitude of my apartment, everything except the twenty minutes of patience I kept skipping every single time I decided I didn't feel like waiting for butter to soften.
