Tomorrow after a meeting I walk over to the dealership (hubs is sick or he'd drive me) and pick up the car.
My parrot will never forgive me for tonight. If you think we're bad about following routines, you should spend time with a parrot.

@joshsusser @ScottSoCal @f1337 @actuallyautistic Lol! Yes, that’s what we’re known for, isn’t it? Being so relatable.

I got a good price on an EV with less than 3000 miles on it. I keep telling myself the end result is worth it.

@thelaughingmuse

They've stopped now, and they're looking at me like I'm possibly feral, and not quite trustworthy.

I did everything to make buying a car fast, easy, painless, but AAAAAARGH!
Financing arranged before I went in. No haggling on the price, I'll just buy it.
4 events of "Let me go talk to my manager" later, and I'm DONE. Melt down in the manager's office, and they'll either sell me the car NOW or I'm leaving. I fucking hate this.

I love my dog, for so many reasons but today it was connections...

Met a lady with two dogs as she passed my boat. Naturally we chatted about dogs.

Later we met again, more chat about dogs... then her husband's health, and her #ActuallyAutistic teenage daughter and the dog she got to help her cope.

Bingo! Long chat, lots of mutual understanding.

All thanks to my dog and the wonderful healing supportive qualities of dogs! πŸ•

@actuallyautistic

It brings me so much joy when a dog or cat walks up to me to say hello. Seeing, meeting and petting animals is always a highlight of my days.

I have a smart watch, with a timer function. A load of wash is 50 minutes, a load in the dryer is 70 minutes. If I don't set the timer, I'll completely forget that I was doing laundry.

@AutisticAdam @actuallyautistic

It's less "finally, someone shares my interests" and more "this seems to interest them, I'll share all I know so we can continue the conversation with the same level of knowledge".

... but then there's usually very little continuing of conversations involved...

@AutisticAdam @actuallyautistic

The timing on your post is funny, because while you were writing it, I was perched like a lawn gnome in front of someone's office door, talking about parrots.

"As a chairfish of the fish council it is my duty to inform you, that by unanimous vote all fish have agreed, plenty of food should be provided at least 30 times per day."

(My koi carp have an infinite interest in their food pellets β™₯️)

If the women don’t find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

President Biden told his fellow leaders at the G7 summit that the U.S. will support a joint plan to train Ukrainian pilots on advanced fighter jets, including U.S.-made F-16s. t.co/shwkRMPlgS

Another year, another fucking book whining about "dying masculinity" that just boils down to "Why I can't I be a selfish asshole anymore."

It's weird. Almost all of my male role models were powerful and selfless, guys who saw their role as using their power to protect people who didn't, and happily surrendering that power if that's what it took. Where the fuck is this bratty whining about I'm a real man am too am too am too coming from anyway?

@lmgenealogy @ScottSoCal @f1337 @actuallyautistic oh yeah. Totally. My youngest son was diagnosed at 3 years old and as I observed his behavior growing up I was like...wait...was this me at his age? I think it was.

He apparently had a lot of internal dialogue that he later described to me when he was more verbal and able to communicate and I was like. Oh.

I never realized I had those same internal dialogues or outward behavior.

I thought I just had social anxiety, but desperately wanted to connect with people who ultimately thought my behavior was weird.

Now I'm like...ok, it's really cool that he gets a jump start on building coping skills and communication. It took me forever to obtain that.

Aided and abetted by a pathetic media.

"You'll hear from both sides at 5-6p."

Because it's important that the nutbar bringing an assault rifle to a school bus stop, terrorizing children, has his say.
