I am an autistic individual who hates phone calls and will obsess and over analyse any written communication. Body language confuses the heck out of me. People say one thing and their body reacting differently. I will also prevaricate before replying, overthinking my reply 🤦.I am my own nightmare.

Cat law is "what's mine is mine and what's yours is mine". With the added amendment that "anything on the planet I chose to be mine is also mine." The only way to try to keep them from important things is to put down cat traps (cardboard boxes). In some circumstances they have been known to work.

Best film ever, there is always a quote from the film to suit most circumstances.

I am told that worse things happen at sea, so I will stay away from the sea 😁. Your reading is making me think about support and support networks, which is something I do need to do. 🙂 thank you

This really resonated with me today, I am an at home carer, 24/7 with no outside help. Hence, why this nudged at my brain...

Thank you @mxfrankduffy.bsky.social for my t-shirt order. I am totally enamoured with my crows 😁

A photo of a person wearing a blue t-shirt with a crow motif created by Frank Duffy reflected in a mirror. The background of the mirror photo graph is a bathroom.

My cat, Arvid, decided that I needed help to do my yoga today. Let's just say his helpfulness was not very helpful 😁, especially in downward facing dog 🤣. It was nice he wanted to be with me though 🤣.

Anything with strawberries 🤢 or anything with milk products in (I'm allergic) and no gluten, makes me super ill.... I am a nightmare 😁. Mostly, I find normal desserts, I like and make them Vegan and GF.

I listen and listen again to books on audible because they are self soothing. It is the voice of the reader and because I know what is going to happen. Not sure if that is my ASD or just me 😊
