Let’s talk tags on clothing. I hate them and they annoy me to no end. And even if I cut them off, the tiny bit remaining always manages to touch me and I hate it. 😩
Do tags bother you?

Notice the choices you get on the wheel…all too familiar for many of us.

Some autistic people find making phone calls extremely stressful and unpleasant and will avoid them at all costs.
Please don’t try and force your communication preferences on others.

I struggle with “oversharing” and find myself doing it with complete strangers. You would think as an older adult I would have learned by now how to judge what is appropriate to share with others and when.
Nope.

Most of the time when asked “How are you doing?” I actually tell them, because I forget I’m supposed to always say, “I’m fine” even if I’m not.
You think as an older adult I would have learned by now…but nope.
Do you?
