Alix* (young person) said “when things are happening with me, I don't enjoy advice. I prefer comfort or a distraction. This is exactly what they would do. They'd take me into the kitchen or outside and just let me ramble, whether it's about the issues I'm facing or my current hyperfix. They know what each individual needs and they adapt to make sure that's what they get.”
