A Day on Planet Earth

"You pile of pillocks..."

A thread documenting your contact with the neurotypical world

*2 minutes into a pleasant conversation in my local store*

ME: "I'm autistic."

The shopkeeper literally takes a step back, as if Autism is contagious.

------------

SALESMAN: "Good morning! I'm from Encyclopedia Britannica."

ME: "Is that the one with the spaceship?"

SALESMAN: "No, that's Battlestar Galactica. Goodbye."

Okay, that last one didn't happen. Yet. Keep us updated with your daily adventures on the strange Planet of the Neuroconfusings.

  • Last couple of days I've been experiencing excessive fatigue and light-headedness that could very well be Diabetes, so today was a day of not doing a lot and I'll call the doctor tomorrow.

    Today was spent listening to music (John Denver) and watching films (Shark Tale, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen...). Tonight I will stay in bed and try and prepare for tomorrow.
