Take my aspie honesty. The other day, a woman who works in my office brought in a tray of Christmas cookies. They looked thick, crunchy, and dry, just the kind of cookies I hate. In fact, the whiff of them as I opened the box almost made me puke. Being the straightforward aspie that I am, I told her the cookies were not my favorite. A few days later, I get a Christmas present from her. It is a box of yummy, chewy, chocolate chip cookies. :D

Man, I don't know what to say. I am speechless. Upon reading about the cookies I went through a bevy of emotions: surprise, excitement, anger, joy, and finally acceptance.
