I have had to remove comments and ban people this week. This sub is a safe place for Autistic people. If you see an Autism meme that you disagree with cool. But if that meme is in this sub and you want to disagree and be disrespectful I will ban you. I am also on call which means my tolerance for bullshit is extremely low.

Here's a picture of an Aggie blip.

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.

I dont like memes on this kind of community, so I just block the heavy memers (sorry heavy memers, no offense meant)

[–] Lexam@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I would suggest not doing this. There are some interesting and in depth conversations in the comments usually. But I understand. I had to block someone because of the amount of Moth memes they were posting.

Finally cleaned my desk. I have been so worried about my cat's health all week that I couldn't do anything else. After paying 2k at the vet, they said the little guy had gastro. 😭

After taking his meds

He ate 5 crockets in 3 days. Now he just demolished a bowl.

The tomatoes are growing.

Well, okay. One. One tomato is growing.

Mother's medically delicate cat is doing well. She's eating and not vomiting anymore, which was likely from stress. Although she stopped vomiting the day we got her the nice chicken. Perhaps they were protest vomits that we hadn't splurged on her yet.

The kitten is doing well. She wishes to have the entire house back, which is fair, but mother's cat trucks with no other cats. Mostly. She lives with 2 other cats but they leave her alone.

I'm so tired of the everything happening in existence and wish it would calm the fuck down.

Definitely sounds like protest vomits. My cat really loves cat-grass when his stomach was upset. He was basically a herbivores during his gastro

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I'll make sure to get her some bacon today, so she'll keep up her stomach. And won't start protest vomiting again! Silly cats.

Torties are the GOAT.
