Autism

There's a big corporate boycott today. You're supposed to avoid shopping and buying things today. And if you can participate that's great. But I am not. We were supposed to go grocery shopping yesterday. Unfortunately we were both unwell. My wife was struggling with it and feeling guilty because we didn't want to shop today. Then I reminded her. They aren't talking about us. I've heard it so many times in conversations it could be the refrain to a song. People will say you need to do this or not that. Then I explain my disability and we get the refrain "I'm not talking about you". They never seem to want to talk about us and how things affect us. So today I feel good and am going to the store, because tomorrow I may not feel good enough to go. Besides their not talking about us.

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.
