Sometimes my brain shuts off and I just go through the motions. Of course when that happens I'm prone to skip some steps.

I will say, a bonus to wearing a mask is that no one can tell if I'm smiling or not.
But yeah, if you tell me to smile I will make sure you regret it.

Just because someone prefers to call themself a person with autism doesn't make them the enemy or "The Other". They're part of our community. Let's treat them with the same kindness and understanding we would like to be treated with.

I hate liquid medicine! I'd rather be sick! At least gel capsules exist.
Here in China the medicine tastes so much worse than the medicine in Canada! So much worse!!!
Really hoping I get over this cold soon. It really sucks.

Toxic positivity is harmful. It invalidates, shames, and side steps people's feelings.
It seems to be on the rise in the last 2 years, and while it can be good to be optimistic, ignoring everything bad can be destructive.
Sometimes negative emotions must be dealt with head on.

There's a reason I need to take medication for my anxiety.
When everything is silent is when my brain gets the chance to wander, and that's always a bad thing.
(Just a note: this isn't my brain wanting death, but simply being curious about it. I'm okay.)

Why yes! I do take things literally! Sometimes it can make things pretty awkward, but other times, not so much.

I learned how to pirate when I was kid back in the Napster and Limewire days. These skills have served me well while living in China where most movies I want to see never come to theatres.

Sometimes I have trouble watching scenes from movies or shows, and a majority of the time it's because those scenes set off a huge feeling of vicarious embarrassment. It's one of the many reasons I can't stand romantic comedies.
