This article is an It’s a Superpower?? special, set in the world of our audio sitcom! To find out more, see the bottom of the piece.

An autistic man prone to trusting the wrong people has ensured that everyone is aware of his naïveté so that they can provide the reasonable adjustment of not manipulating him, it has been announced. 

Büms, anywhere between seven and 50, who reportedly has a long and storied history with cults, MLMs and “friends” who secretly leave milk in his shoes, made the pronouncement upon meeting a suspicious pair of people giving culty vibes – and is now satisfied that he is safe from any potential machinations that will result in him being followed everywhere by cats.

Büms explained: “If this is a cult, I should probably warn you that I’m very easy to manipulate. I’m just telling you so you know not to manipulate me.”

“It’s not that your eternal life on a blissful faraway planet doesn’t sound great,” Büms clarified. “Actually, it does sound pretty great. What time does the spaceship leave? I get to do the countdown. I GET TO DO THE COUNTDOWN!”

Büms then squelched off toward what he thought was a spaceship, but was actually just one of his new housemates’ art projects.

It’s a Superpower?? is the first ever sitcom by and for autistic people (poor things) and is available now wherever you get podcasts. If you can’t wait to find out what happens, you can listen to the whole thing early and ad-free at selected tiers on Patreon.
