    Dad Jokes

    Little Johnny was kept in during recess for saying a bad word in class. "Johnny, where did you learn that word?" The teacher asked him. "From my dad." Johnny said sheepishly. "And do you even know what it means?" "It means his car won't start!"

    First autistic Barbie doll launched with sensory-sensitive features

    I've just seen The Daily Tism post a savage satire news article about the new Autistic Barbie. It says to recreate your least favorite autistic child moments, such as hiding under the school library table at lunchtime and crying at party balloons, and it says that Playground Bully Barbie can't...

    Boxing Day

    In Canada we have Boxing Day. We call it Boxing Day because the kids get packed into the boxes the presents from the day before came in so that the adults can relax and enjoy some peace and quiet. Not really. :)

    People on TV

    When I was a kid I used to imagine there were tiny little people inside the TV who would appear whenever you turned it on, but that was back when the TV was like a box. They probably would have been squashed on the flatscreens we use now.

    People on TV

    Does the ex-girlfriend have schizophrenia? I know some people with schizophrenia really think the people on TV are talking to them and watching them, especially on the news since they're always breaking the fourth wall.

    EVERYONE LOVES TRAINS,

    Them: Which autistic special interests are you into? Trains? Numbers? Chess? Me: Golden Age animation, cats, and guinea pigs. Them: Then how are you autistic? Me: .........................................................................................

    autists are excellent problem solvers

    I think I cause problems much more than I solve them.

    Being asked if you're autistic

    Nobody knew I was on the spectrum for over the first half of my life. So what would make them think I'm autistic now? Unless I'm having a meltdown in public or something awful like that? Would they notice something less awful, like my having five pairs of the same kind of blue jeans or lining up...

    EVERYONE LOVES TRAINS,

    I really don't care for trains. Animals are what make this world still somewhat bearable.

    Dad Jokes

    Mom: How was your history test at school? Kid: Awful. All the questions were about things that happened before I was even born.

    The misinformation becomes deeper.

    I already feel like screaming my lungs out if I even hear the word "Tylenol" one more time. As always, nobody listens or cares about how we, on the spectrum, feel about this vile male bovine excrement the orange dictator and wormbrain keep spewing everywhere. Do they think it feels good, being...

    Do You Jump?

    I don't do any of those things. Besides looking utterly foolish, I'd probably end up injuring myself. I rarely even move quickly unless it's necessary. Also I can't remember the last time I got really excited about anything. Unless you count when I freaked out this past week when we were out...
