Khai needs this one, too. To touch him firmly right in the heart. Then, his family needs to be beat over the head with it.

Oh Khai, I love you so much. You‘re feeling so much, but they tell you there is something wrong with you and you feel nothing. You feel it man. It‘s okay you don‘t show it like they do.

Can we just talk about Khai‘s cousin Sara? I mean, seriously. She‘s a b!tch! She expects Khai to understand her, but doesn‘t give a shite about understanding Khai. His autism is no secret. She‘s fully aware of it. So he can‘t put his feelings into words. His comment “I've been wondering all night what's wrong with this wedding… It's Andy. He should be here” is Khai‘s way of saying Andy would have loved this. He would have wanted to be here.

GingerAntics I miss him. I wish he was here. I wish he was still around. Instead of commiserating with her cousin, “yeah, I miss him too” or “I think he‘s haunting the DJ station over there” or anything remotely caring and loving, she condemns him, her new jack🤬 husband condemns him, and everyone at the table goes with “Khai put his foot in it again,” instead of recognising the one who put their foot in all of it was Sarah. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 10mo

GingerAntics I feel like this entire story would be so different if his family wasn‘t sitting here telling him, sending the message, that he doesn‘t feel emotions, and accepted him as he is and that he expresses and experiences emotions differently. Khai needs the above image to learn that he‘s okay. Sara (and the rest of the family) need the above image to get their heads out of their 🤬es. 10mo

JamieArc I read this a long time ago, but if I remember correctly, I didn‘t love this one as much as the first. I did love Khai, a lot! But the sexual relationship felt a bit problematic, forced and manipulative to me. 10mo

GingerAntics @JamieArc her mother is definitely giving me creepy, manipulative vibes (then again so does his mother if I‘m honest). I guess I can see where it‘s that or stay poor, but it‘s still a little weird. I‘m waiting for her to somehow get diagnosed as on the spectrum in a minute here. 10mo
