| Visited my godmother by bus for the first time. I know it might not sound like a big deal to many, but I hate busses, especially when I have to make a switch, which I did. Looking at the schedules and finding the right stops is stressing, not to mention making sure I don't miss the busses, and it's ... |

| Sounds about right. Sure, there must be some undiagnosed autistic people who have jobs, but also undiagnosed people who don't, but no statistics are perfect. I just checked from Finland's autism association's website, and according to them, only around 30 % of autistic adults are employed. Not sure ... |

| Surunpotku by Leena Lehtolainen I have no idea how to translate the name since it's not really even a word... like, there is a word "onnenpotku" which is used when something really lucky happens, and in this book, some dude came up with a word "surunpotku." The "onnen"... |

| Well, I highly doubt the physical tasks in health care would disappear anywhere; someone's gotta change the diapers of the elders... and the little ones too actually when their parents are working. I mean, I suppose a robot could do those things, but kids at least would need real people around to le... |

| My neurodivergent support group that I've been helping to run... I think it's time for me to take a break. There are little skirmishes every now and then and that's fine, but we also have this one troublesome member and, a few days back, she just went too far with her accusations and slander. I just... |

| Like? No. Eat? Yes. I've always had trouble with crunchy food due to sensory issues, so as a child I ate very little vegetables, and their bad tastes didn't help either. Now I can tolerate the crunchiness a little better, plus I don't usually eat vegetables without cooking them somehow, so I eat muc... |

| Well, yes and no. My job is the kind one has to be present at the office for, but when the covid restrictions hit in 2020, I worked a few months remotely, doing a different task that I normally did at work. Have done that a few times after that too when our work space was being renovated and such...... |

| Yeah. My great-grandfather died in WWII, 1940 if I remember my grandmother's age right. I used that to count since I know he died while my great-grandmother was still expecting my grandma, who was born near the end of the year. My grandfather from my mother's side also fought near the end of the war... |

| I got a wedding invitation. From a friend . I've only ever been to three weddings before, two of them being those of cousins, and one of my half sister. Two of these were when I was a child. I'm usually not a big fan of these types of parties, but I have a bit of interest in weddings since I haven't... |

| Thinking about the novel I'm writing... I think the third chapter's okay, but first and second, while easy to follow, are boring. They're necessary for the plot though, and I don't see how I could edit and change the third chapter to make it the first instead; it just wouldn't work. It'd be importan... |
