Very yes,
It is not just the inner world, I can be rebuilding an engine, something they can see, and some human will start babbling about what they saw on television, which they thought was cool, but cannot quite remember.
Starbuline,
I can relate. my girl is about your age. She was always a Feral Child. We really like each other, but it took years to develop a ritual hug. She is always just out of arms reach, with everyone. It was a great thing when we could hug. After fifteen years of building trust she came up behind me, put her arm around my waist, and I turned rock solid in an instant and jumped across the room.
I think she is catching on to why I understand her.
