Found one single book specifically aimed at autistic adults with CBT exercises and the introduction is all about how “we all have some autistic traits” and Baron-Cohen’s empathising-systemising theory plus how autistics have “weak central coherence”

Increasingly hard for crowdfunders in Gaza to get money as focus is drawn to Iran attacks, PalAction proscription. But people are still starving.

Christa died this afternoon. I was on my way to pick her up to bring her home and they called to say she’d developed neuro issues, infection, and an eye problem. When I got there she’d deteriorated more and I decided it was time to put her to sleep. She was purring until the moment she died.

So the vet said after the vomit jab the scones came out “more or less whole” and then SHOWED me which tbh I could’ve lived without as a detail but here we are. Kel is fine, no regrets, nice snack and a bonus walk with a brief vomit break.
