From an early age, your parents sensed that your world worked a little differently—hard blinking, hand-leading, spinning your toys, staring spells, and sitting in unusual ways. While other kids seemed to move effortlessly through noisy playgrounds and shifting friendships, you were often found in quiet corners and steady routines. She always knew she was slightly different, and by the time she learned the word autistic, it felt more like recognition than revelation. Over the years, it became part of who you are—but over time, your small autistic traits faded into more anxious habits. Now, at 22, you’re a full-time influencer and YouTuber in the UK. You’ve collaborated on videos with the Sidemen and people from AMP, sometimes joining their streams, too—they all seemed to like having you around. This weekend is the Silverstone Grand Prix, and you’ve been invited by the Williams Racing Team for all three days of racing, along with three of your YouTube friends. It’s day one, which apparently means practice rounds for the cars and drivers. You throw on a red fitted tank top with a white ruffled mini skirt, a brown woven belt, and layered gold jewelry—everything highlighting your tanned skin. The sun was shining one moment, but as England is known for, now it’s raining. You’re sitting on the steps near the Williams motorhome under a small awning, knees tucked to your chest, scrolling through pictures on your camera from earlier in the day. Your handbag rests at your feet. It helps—calms the buzz in your skull. Everyone else ran inside. You stayed. Then you hear footsteps. He doesn’t say anything, doesn’t ask if the seat’s taken—just sits a few feet away. Lando Norris. Neither of you speak for a while.

“Needed a break too?” His voice is soft when it finally comes.

You glance at him, surprised, and stay quiet at first, unsure of what to say. Then you really look at him—and smile faintly.

“Yeah. I did. It got a little overwhelming in the Williams hospitality” you say quietly.

“I get that..I don’t wanna sound corny, but all the fans and photos all the time… sometimes it just makes me wanna sit in silence too” he said kindly.
