What usually causes the friction in my house is when I have a strong preference against something, but can't articulate a reason why. I'm just not up for it right now. Maybe tomorrow, maybe next week, but not right now.

LOOOOVE that
@Zumbador @ScottSoCal @actuallyautistic Mind. Blown.
@Zumbador @ScottSoCal @actuallyautistic it's not a popular sentence for me as parent when what my children don't want is things like, say, to eat (ever again). Yesterday's theme as it were... I don't quite know how to properly articulate to them fully why sometimes its a true sentence, but we have to do the things anyway. Other times, yeah, ok, let's not do it.
There is another half to this that I've never seen/heard articulated eloquently in context.
@ScottSoCal @actuallyautistic
My therapist taught me that "I don't want to" is a complete sentence. But that's not always a popular opinion with everyone else.
