I have three whistles now. The first one is still the best.

This is a daily post for “casual” conversation. If you want to post or talk about something non autism related this is where to do it. For example if you want to info dump about your special interest but it doesn’t fall into “autism related” then you can post it here in the comments. All other rules are still active, be respectful to each other.

Congratulations on your new whistle!

I'm beginning to find i have too much... I keep all gifts given to me, whether I use them or not. There are loads of socks, souvenirs from family members' vacations (not mine), soda stream, power tools, cooking utensils, water filtration devices...

I think I need to condense. I've already stopped trying to use the extra stuff and have packaged it up, but a lot is old stuff that should be thrown away or recycled.
