A woman has reportedly given her seriously neurotypical mother the ultimate gift – the gift of autism.
According to sources, Natasha Weaving, 33, from Stafford, couldn’t bear to see her mother Olivia Buckingham, 63, struggling with her neurotypical brain and so generously shared her own autism in a desperate bid to cure her.
Weaving said: “She was developing serious symptoms, like going for cocktails with the girls and chatting with the neighbours. She hated staying in the same place for long, and would often claim that she’d caught the ‘travelling bug’.”
Doctors would later describe Buckingham’s condition as “one of the worst cases of neurotypicalism” they’d ever seen.
“Donating some of my own autism was the kindest thing to do.” Weaving continued. “I just wanted her to get to experience the joy of a Warhammer museum, or starting her own Beatles figurine collection.”
“As soon as Mum woke up, she only asked for one thing: ‘Catan’. We all practically cried with relief.”
Buckingham was unavailable for comment, due to being immersed in a niche documentary about a 1951 Turkish Airlines disaster.
