We usually go grocery shopping after 7PM. There's hardly anyone in the store at that point.

This is a daily post for “casual” conversation. If you want to post or talk about something non autism related this is where to do it. For example if you want to info dump about your special interest but it doesn’t fall into “autism related” then you can post it here in the comments. All other rules are still active, be respectful to each other.

10am on a weekday. My local is at ats busiest and the shelves emptiest between 7 and 9pm

After shops started being open 24h we figured we could avoid others if we go after 8pm. Turns out all the other unsocial Finns thought so too. Probably best time would be mid-day when everyone is at work 😅

At least the other shoppers are antisocial as well.

Parking lots are like public restrooms. Leave one space between you and the next person unless it's full. I swear people just feel a need to park next to me.

My autistic niece was making this Mmmmmmmmmmmm (best I can describe not really a hum). Just caught myself making the same noise sitting here in my basement watching TV after a trying day.
