I have a cousin who has always been very cool with me.
She's around 4 years younger than me. She has an adult daughter, (lets call her Mia)
Mia has always been a little different.
Mia is very mousy and cute.
She has a smaller frame, and was on the shorter side. She could easily pass for much younger. She was also Quiet.
Mia is a higher functioning special needs. Very Mild. Most people dont know unless they have been told.
A little over a year ago my cousin called me and asked me if i still went to comic conventions. I laughed cause i had been to like 4 conventions when I was a teenager and in my 20's and she made it sound like i was always at them. I just said that the last one was before covid.
She told me Mia wanted to go but she wasn't comfortable with Mia going alone.
Although she was 18 she was very naΓ―ve and kinda innocent.
Also with her special needs she preferred to have an adult with her.
I told her id be happy to go with her. It wasnt far, just a few hours but i got a hotel nearby incase we needed to rest.
