Question for my #actuallyautistic peeps -- my son is also autistic, 7 yrs old, and seems to almost have object permanence issues? Like if he doesn't hear or see something he insists it didn't happen. Even if I'm saying "yes, I heard this" he'll say "no, you're wrong, it didn't happen."

Has anyone experienced something similar? How can I support his experience of the world while helping him understand that things outside his direct experience can still be real?

Shit I learnt this year:

1. Kindness is always IN. Always.
2. You can win without making someone else feel like they've lost.
3. If you stand for nothing you'll fall for anything.
4. Honesty + sincerity will never let you down.
5. There is no greater turn on than courage, humility and humour.
6. Forgive. Others. And yourself.
7. Fall down and laugh until your tummy hurts.
8. Love hurts. But love anyway.
9. You are worthy.

Now the royal family will serve mac and cheese at thanksgiving and it will become the fanciest thing to serve. 😂😂 😂

I'd love to commission a cute drawing of my wife for a Christmas present. Any artists out there with affinity for mermaids, cartoons, queers and cute plus sized girls interested?

@cute_weeds I think that we can continue this series infinitely.

Three skiii
Four skiiii (or perhaps skiv)
Five skiiiii (or perhaps skv, though it's hard to pronounce)

hey so since y'all really like and i didn't realize y'all could copy it, please spread around the appropriate credit to my pal Cam! She's asked to point me towards her discord username, CAMERATA#4771 for thanking her for these good emoji.

The full set is:

Gaming on Linux is a lot like being vegan. Both a moral stance and a way to live a healthier life.

Also, you miss out on a lot of good stuff and people look at you incredulously asking why you're doing this to yourself. #gameing

Oz done good.
