So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.

When I was a kid I always so scared of the wicked witch in The Wizard Of Oz so I decided I would try something a bit more on the scary side, say hello to Hagatha!! Happy Tuesday:)

I'm loving all the "this is the new normal" coverage.
No, it's not. This is the transition phase. The new normal is going to be WAY worse than this.

If that turns out to be the case, I'll somehow learn to be all right with it.
@ned call me old fashioned, but if my kids couldn't tell me something as important as who they are, and what they need to feel comfortable, I'd consider myself a failure as a parent and as a human being.
Your notes to yourself in the paper made me chuckle.

Oh, yes. Especially the part about "some of them were strangers"
I'd have done my very best to be "on". Even if it was fun, it would still be exhausting.
It's the eye of the tiger.
It's the spleen of a sheep.
I think I explained that badly, so I'll try again.
Everything I do is planned out, and mentally rehearsed, even a trip to the grocery store. If something changes - a road is blocked off, the store re-arranged, *anything* - it short-circuits me until I can re-map. Until I found out I was autistic, I thought everyone did that, but no, it's just me and people like me, and other people don't get how much it throws me off. They see it as no big deal, for me it's epic.
I don't know your daughter, so I can't be certain, but...
"trigger at the moment seems to be disappointment. If she doesnβt get what she wants"
A trigger I've had to learn to deal with is having plans change, with no notice. It's not "not getting what I want", it's "I planned for this, went over everything mentally, had it all laid out, and suddenly things are back in disarray - an unknown". Unknown is scary, and blank.
Kyle Rittenhouse is being sued by the estate of the mentally disturbed man Rittenhouse shot four times and killed.
Rittenhouseβs response:
βThese lawsuits are making it harder and harder for me to move on with my lifeβ
The amount of cope white men feel after doing something horrible could power a city
Do you know what else makes it hard to move on with your life?
Being murdered
"The very worst thing is knowing that I have no autonomy and can't leave a situation."
Feeling powerless is a huge trigger for me - especially when it's someone I don't trust to be neutral.

Hi, Billy Corgan here to tell you about the many benefits of AARP.
You kids and your new-fangled "modems". Back in my day, we used an acoustic coupler, and we were grateful!
What absorbs us, catches our attention, causes us to stop and completely focus? Is it a thought of our own, a moment of imagination and play? May it be so -- may we be enchanted and entranced by nature and life.

Give her space, give her a pillow/sofa cushion to hit, instead. Talk to her about it when she's not having a meltdown, because she may not be hearing you when she is.
This is what happens when you ask your library about representation in #autism books. You get #ActuallyAutistic authors who are singers, actors, comedians & more. I've not read these but I'm really looking forward to. Talk to your library today.
