My dad in "letters" and my mother more in math. My mother always completely ignored commas and periods when she read anything, which means things usually meant the opposite of what was intended by the author. It was hilarious. Anyway.
So your friend must also be high iq autistic if she
can diagnose you?
Idk. I think "the spectrum" should be reversed. People who blindly follow others like socially instead of wondering wtf is going on should be considered on the spectrum, not vice versa.

Grammar saves lives. I know, I know, unoriginal, but I still get a kick out of it.
and nah, she is definitely not high IQ autistic nor does she have any experience in abnormal psychology beyond being my friend, so I'm not taking her word as scripture (honestly, I don't even take scripture as scripture)
Either you're "on the spectrum" or you lack the ability to be a self. I mean, I lack a STABLE sense of self, but there is personality in me. It just changes for POWER!!!
Totally more complex than that. But in essence, all brains are fked up in their own ways.

I'm doing good. I was on a family plan with my mom, but I guess she finally decided to say "fk paying for Sam's phone" (even though she has access to all my money being my rep payee and I have no access to it but also she's not paying for any of my expenses, so yeah, I'm on SSDI but the family member who can work takes that money and puts anything extra in a bank account. Or uses it in gas to meet up with her fwb. idk anymore...) so I'm gonna save up for my own phone and not even get a plan so I can call 911 if I make an unsuccessful attempt and regret it but still need stitches or whatever. Or come across someone who OD'd, but I've only seen that five times since January.
I think I'm going to move in with chica. She's super nice and helpful. She feels better when I show I feel more at home here, so I've pretty much taken over all the cooking and have been using her laptop ("to find work" haha more like "come on here" although I really am looking for work too)
Speaking of work. This dude said he'd pay me $500 to help build a stage. Nothing fancy, just something for some event coming up. I know nothing of construction, but I helped chica repair a broken picture frame and I'm not dumbfounded when I need to put furniture together (I don't know if people are being sarcastic or not when they say they are. A lot of people don't seem it, but sometimes I feel like you have to be incredibly stupid to not know how to put pieces of a chair together).
