Might a Lady validate darkly inclined interests?
Q:
Fine Lady, I am afraid I might be unworthy of your great halls, but nevertheless, shall submit my inquiry for your review. As it happens, I too am autistic and find myself interested in gothic musings which rarely cater to the tastes of normal company. One so distinguished as yourself seems to have found her niche of special interests, and I suppose that one such as myself is simply looking for validation in my darkly inclined areas of focus, since I care for my responsibilities but always wish to pursue dark music and fashion in my free time. This writer would appreciate a few words of support if they may beg them of you. Your work is of comfort to me and my closest friends.

However, this Lady seeks the Edification of all and is grateful for the utility of her Erudition (if she may be so bold) which Sweetens the interims endemic to her diurnal culture. Furthermore, she finds her comfort in her closest Connexions and in the Lullabies of pelagic and caliginous Phenomena, most Obscure and Cherished. These jeweled Specters, medicinal to one with a most provincial upbringing, contribute their Ministrations to the well-being of a restless and Grateful mind. Such anomalous and fervently Elected interests, various and sundry, sustain her Appetite for a life free of Convention and ordinary Assemblage, and this Being finds utmost joy in Opportunities to affirm the macabre Curiosities paralleled in the ventures of Her dearest Readers. So, Dear Reader, let this Lady assure You that there are far more wastrel Suitors than the decadent Nature of Your intrinsic Leanings, and it is most Practical to allow these noble Ambitions to Tether Your Affections to the mechanical proceedings of this mortal Sphere.
