00:00A little girl in the shop the other day asked her mother why.

00:04That strange man with the headphones was wearing sunglasses.

00:07Inside, her mother asked the same question to herself, but eventually to me.

00:12I held back my aggression and I started to breathe.

00:15I wanted to say that I was struck by an asteroid as a kid,

00:18and these glasses helped with x-ray vision and shit,

00:21or maybe scare the vultures away and say I didn't have eyes at all.

00:25Or spread a simple message and lie and say I sat too close to the TV as a child

00:29and now I can't deal with the light inside.

00:32But I'd rather be honest and scared than dishonest and scared,

00:35so I got on one knee, crouched down to the girl.

00:39Took my glasses off, had a look around at the world,

00:41until I started to shake and my eyes welled up.

00:44I said I'm autistic and light tends to fuck my shit up.

00:48She looked so confused and then gave me a hug.

00:51She said I'm autistic too, put those glasses back on,

00:54you're like a vampire, you hide from the light and the sun.

00:58And I love vampires and so does my mum.
