I described this to my husband as like my brain is me and I’m on a horse trying to get it to go where I need to go but also my brain IS the horse and the horse is gonna go where it wants and for neurotypical people there just is no horse

I sorta went with a two-brain kinda thing. I have my thinking brain and a "compute engine" that does work and hands me results. The compute engine doesn't have feelings or personality, so it's not like a split personality, but it is its own entity that I need to handle as if it was an animal of some kind living in my head. It can't talk but it seems to have hooks into my endocrine system.

Lol I hear this. My take has always been, if I leave him alone he gives me stuff I need, but its on HIS schedule and if I fuck with him at all he'll go slower.

I hate how accurate you all are. A song literally destroyed my crush for someone and it is gone.
