Small talk. One of the worst and most awkward things in the history of ever. I would say “for an autistic person” but I have never heard anyone, regardless of neurotype, seem even vaguely pleased at the concept.
The thing is, though, it is kinda important for networking, making new friends, job interviews, getting along with those cousins you only see once a year, and also just for regular conversations with your best friends. So today we're gonna talk about small talk, why it sucks, and some tips and tricks to get better at it.

Hello my dears!
My name is Sydney and I’m an actor/singer-songwriter who writes music about my experiences being autistic, disabled, gay, gender fluid and in general, a human. My goal is to fill musical gaps and write about things people often forget to make music about. I’m also a vintage enthusiast and disability advocate (among other things). I’ve now released 3 albums and, most importantly, my favorite color is buttercup yellow.
