| I only moved out at 24 to move in with my then-fiancé, to whom I am now married. Were I not married, I'd probably still live with my parents. To be fair, this whole "move out as soon as you're an adult" phenomenon is not universal. My mom's family is from Brazil, and, from what I've been t... |

I'm in cars most days of the week, so I listen to cars frequently anyway.
Be able to turn any light on/off of the room you're in with your mind
or
be able to adjust the temperature of the room you're in with your mind? |

| Right now, pretty much exclusively Stardew Valley and Pokémon TCG, both on my phone. Once in a blue moon, I'll get to play on my Switch; there, I've been playing Bluey: The Video Game for the sake of my toddler (though I'll admit that it's a fun little game) and this Nintendogs-esque game called Lit... |

| For myself, I have no preference either way; in general, I will use either depending on the environment I'm in. i.e. I work in disability services, where "person first language" is very much the desired terminology, so I generally use "has autism / person with autism / on the spectrum... |

| Dang, this thread empty. AuDHD parent. My two year old's pediatrician is reasonably sure that she isn't autistic. Remains to be seen. She is showing some signs of possible ADHD...but she's two, so that may just be her age (she's a very bright but very intense child). My biggest struggle as a neurodi... |

Burnout is unfortunately very common in autistic adults. We can mask, push
through, grit-our-teeth-and-bear-it so
much until we can't. Thus, we seem "more
autistic." |

| Another enby here. :) I don't usually add sublabels to my nonbinary-ness, but I think the closest description would be "androgyne"; my gender definitely has both feminine and masculine elements to it, and I'm comfortable being perceived as either a woman or a man (...though I almost never ... |

Going off of the rhetorical questions you posed at the end of your post, though, it seems that you'd actually need to do multiple polls if you are using the poll function on WP (although, if you are just putting these questions into ... |
