| All things being equal (finances etc.), I think it's much harder to live with a partner than live alone. Sensory-social fatigue is a defining feature of autism so it stands to reason it's very draining to live with someone and maintain a cordial relationship with negotiation, compromise, and mutual... |

| ^Aah. That makes quite a bit more sense. Around here maybe 1-2% of kids take school buses - some "cross boundary," if schools are full or families move, others are all for private schools - and most of them are religious schools. But ~98% of kids live close to the schools they go to so Mos... |

| Because you’re on the spectrum. Everyone grieves differently, but people on the spectrum are known for grieving Differently than expected norms. And we don’t all grieve the same just because we’re on the spectrum. Often our reactions seem flat or muted or unemotional. Just is what it is. Hell, we do... |

Why: Maybe if they’re aware that it has been mismanaged by your sister they Might be able to recommend someone that’s a professional at managing these things who can do a proper job so your money isn’t misappropriated. Why not: Is there any reason to conceal any savings or income fr... |

| For whatever reason, my brain functions in a certain way where I end up day-dreaming and thinking of things that happened like years ago, but I still find funny. At times it can bring me to tears. I've only realized in high school that people find this incredibly strange, to just be smiling warmly/... |

Just the way my brain works I can be Extremely quick-witted with responses to things and situations that have people laugh Real... |

| A niece of mine lives in the path of totality. They were pretty much right in the middle, but the predictions have shifted a bit. The local school there is not having classes that day because they think it would be dark before some of the kids in the county could get home from school that day. They... |

| I don’t eat in restaurants or drink at bars very often At All so I always tip and usually fairly generously. Definitely a habit you pick up when you spend years working in bars. I will also tip at liquor stores sometimes, especially when someone is very knowledgeable and makes recommendations on the... |

| Had a couple beers at a pub a friend works at last night. I only paid for one.. 14 ounce beer with a tip $10.38. That's why I almost Never go to bars At All Ever Ever Ever as that's become the normal price for a fairly typical beer. Crazy. It boggles my mind how many people still regularly go to bar... |

| It was never worth s**t. The entire thing is pump and dump scam to rip off morons. A couple of the founders have already plead guilty to insider trading. I don't think he can claim a tax loss because he didn't Pay Billions for his shares and then have them plummet. But I'm not sure how US tax laws w... |
