Fics like The Sackler Brain

Adam jumped up. “I’m not that. I’m not. I am neurotypical.” He walked to the door and looked outside. “Where are they?” He opened the door, then shut it again. He slapped the glass and jiggled the handle. Then he shook his hand up and down quickly as he walked back to the chair... Adam collapsed in a chair and put his head down into his hands. He rubbed his face and rocked slightly. Rey had seen this behavior before in neurodiverse people when they got overwhelmed or anxious. Adam was having a panic attack. Rey moved closer to him. Maybe she could help calm him using techniques she used with her brother. First, connection. Slow and steady. Second, no stimulation. Keep it quiet, keep it small. Third, remember, he can’t hear you right now, she said to herself. He’s dissociating. He’s protecting himself. He needs to be grounded. Many neurodiverse people had grounding plans, but if Adam considered himself neurotypical, he likely had nothing in place to help him.
