    Foods With Funny-Sounding Names...?

    I haven't heard "mush" for decades! We used to have mush all the time growing up.

    Foods With Funny-Sounding Names...?

    We make Papas Con Huevos (potatoes and eggs). One time my wife was texting other family members about it and the talk-to-text feature transcribed it as “Popeye’s Gone Weebles.” So that’s what we call it sometimes.

    How do you relate to patterns?

    Patterns, rules, and systems are how I understand the world. Everything is information. Information almost always has a use. What trips me up is that I find myself looking for patterns in meaninglessness, counting trivial things like floor tiles or steps to the mailbox, because some part of my...

    Yeah, any diagnosis can be spun negatively. My problem is with people assuming that the diagnosis means you can't. Can't think for yourself, can't go out on your own, etc. They assume autism means your brain doesn't work right, when in actually, it just works differently. I think that's what...

    Being asked if you're autistic

    I only had one person ask if I was autistic. I have had people ask me, "How does your brain work?" ... because I apparently said something very odd or very insightful (it's so hard to tell the difference).
