    Can they write? Or is this a total shutdown of ability to communicate?

    If it’s the latter, depending on what is helpful for them, maybe just a hug, or something calming like some noise canceling earphones. For me, headphones can be a huge help when I’m overstimulated.

    Otherwise just continue to be supportive, I think. They’re lucky to have someone who cares enough to ask.





  • Lol idk naming animals is just fun and I love giving them normal human names as much as weird names.

    I’ve had a Harold, and a Patrick, and a Rickey.

    But I’ve also had cats named “Rabies”, Maverick, Hobbes, and currently Hachi and Yokai (I stole my name from him).

    Here’s hachi and yokai. Hachi is the one in the tuxedo:

    My mom after I finished some inane chores she’d force me to do when I was a kid:

    “There that wasn’t so bad was it? Don’t you feel accomplished now, after a job well done?”

    Me:

    "1. Yes, it was. All of that sucked. 2. No. I feel like I want to be left alone. We will definitely struggle again next time you tell me to stop what I’m doing on a Saturday to mow your lawn for free, or whatever. "

    I’ve since grown up and have my own lawn I neglect. But, I do understand the value of chores now. I just don’t force them on others, and if I ask for help, it isn’t a veiled threat that says “You say yes and help, or else…”
