An autistic woman who believes she’s not enough is, in fact, rather a lot, it has been rumoured.
Siobhan Moorton, 31, who has learned to overcompensate for her perceived shortcomings, has reportedly gone so far in the other direction, she might as well punctuate each sentence with jazz hands.
Moorton told reporters: “I didn’t want to show up to the interview empty handed - so here’s a bottle of champagne, a cornucopia of home-baked goods and a life-sized replica of Paddington Bear. Everyone likes Paddington.”
“What’s that look about?” Moorton continued. “I knew it wouldn’t be enough. Damnit I should have got a bigger Paddington.”
Moorton then trauma dumped for the entire hour about all the ways in which she believes she is deficient, before asking our reporter about her relationship with her mother.
Moorton was not asked for further comment as our reporter was exhausted.
