My rabbit is so spoiled now he acts offended and gives me a "Wtf?" look if I give him hay and don't pick the seed heads out of it for him. Guess who isn't getting hand fed them any more. :roll:

I wonder what variety of zinnias I got. For it to germinate in a day or less.

Thinking of spaces. Where am I going to put my stuff in this room?
Planning to keep some plants indoors.

Because summer is coming.
And this means the air-conditioning would be on more often. And then the air-conditioning heats up the balcony... :skull:

Sounds like a joke the day we lose to an 8 yo team but...

I am so glad that dad decided to make me a Celtic fan.

He had a choice of two or giving me them both or not giving me either.

He chose Celtic cos of principles.

We actually have some...

Once again experiencing dissonance because I grew up being told I was “high-functioning” and expected to meet NT standards, but when I actually meet people who are “high-functioning” or read posts from them, there is such a huge difference. (I know people tend to take issue with using functioning levels, but I really don’t know how else to describe this disparity)

I will never be able to support myself. I will never get a job any better than the ones “anybody” can get because nobody wants to do them (and even those I have to really fight for). I will never live in my own place. It is unlikely that I’ll ever get a driver’s license. I can’t convincingly “mask” no matter how hard I might try. There is no question of whether to disclose or not, because almost everyone can tell within five minutes (and oftentimes within thirty seconds) of meeting me that something is “off” about me, even if they can’t figure out exactly what. Anything resembling a “normal” life is entirely alien to me, and my chance of achieving some semblance of it is about the same as being able to walk to the moon without use of any machinery (and it isn’t for any lack of trying on my part). I am incredibly jealous of those who are able to achieve these things, even with cost. There’s no way around it, I have a continent’s worth of evidence that says my best just isn’t good enough to ever be anything but a parasite.

You were assessed as a child when your functional needs were being met by your parents and teachers. You weren't experiencing difficulties with holding a job or being self-sufficient because that wasn't expected of you at that age. ASD tests compare you to others of your own age, so you were almost certainly compared to other kids and deemed to be fairly high-functioning for your age. I'm sure if you were tested again you would be documented as having more need for support than before. There gets to a point when demand exceeds capacity for us. You've maxed out on what you can do, compared to peers of your age.

I feel for you because I also feel the way you do. I'm a Level 2 but I was evaluated as an adult and I'm no longer functional in any productive way. I still feel disenfranchised from NTs and from pretty much all people on WP or other sites, because I'm lower functioning and I feel very alone with my challenges. I'm very much like you in all of your descriptions. The important thing is that you're lucky to have caregivers who love and support you. I've had to fend for myself and I made a right mess of it most of my life. I'm still picking up the pieces and trying to forgive myself for all the catastrophes that ensued.

It's almost 4. And I've been laughing out loud by the humors I've been reading and watching.

But that's because I already wasted 2 hours worth of time lying on the bed, trying to fall asleep.

Then so I managed to get some sleep.
2 hours.. Only to be interrupted. :x
Because apparently I DO NOT HAVE A RIGHT TO BE ALONE.

Now I'm unable to go back to sleep.
Now I would had to do it all over again -- busy myself into focusing. To a point I can no longer sense the other living presence in the damn room.

Went to the specialist. I do have an abrasion on my eye, but even if it does scar it shouldn't mess with my eyesight much since it's more to the side. He put a contact in my eye to prevent my eyelid from messing with it, which feels super weird. lol
