My son is mildly autistic - just enough that people who don't know the signs think there's something wrong, and people who do assure the first group it's okay.

(He once almost got in trouble at a gun store due to sperging out. Luckily one of the staff worked with autistic kids and told the other stuff TJ Jr. was just really happy.)

Knowing what's wrong with him has helped us work out better ways of doing things.

He's really glad about it, but he's also annoyed because I do this a lot - he tries to get an appointment for something, and after he gives up I make a few phone calls and have him set up in the next day or two.

Not sure how I do it. I just start reading all the small print, ask some questions, and suddenly he's on the schedule.

I'm waiting to see if that happens here.

They did it. Alberta secessionists have collected enough signatures to vote on leaving Canada.

And if that vote is successful, Quebec is going to be super jealous.

Many years ago we had a cat who liked coffee. You had to keep an eye on your cup, or a paw would stealthily reach up and over the side, dip in for a soak, and Erika would happily lick her paw for the next hour.

One time we had a mouse. We explained to both cats that this was unacceptable, a poor job performance, and still we had a mouse.

After a week, my ex told the cats that if one of them caught the mouse, that cat could have a saucer of coffee. Erika caught the mouse that night.

Plus, a lot of KFC locations also serve Taco Bell, so you can disrespect two cultures at once.

It's spring! That time of year when a young man's attention turns to... HOA violations.

Yes, we're still getting temps in the 30's, but we had a day nice enough for someone from the HOA to write up everyone for not keeping up with the weeds that showed up the day prior.

And don't say "don't live in an HOA". NC law requires them in 90% of neighborhoods. Probably so the government doesn't have to maintain the roads, etc.

Lots of cabbage for sale everywhere today. And it's going to stay on sale because no one likes cabbage.

You can chop it up and hide it in things, or use it to hold tasty things, but no one wants just a bunch of cabbage.

At the grocery store today, some random guy asked for help finding tuna. I get asked for help a lot, so I just roll with it (I had already been asked this trip by someone else if the store sold yogurt).

What was new was that he went into a long talk about how Americans smile a lot, except in Texas.

He was a Canadian from Italy. Or perhaps an Italian from Canada. He was born in Italy but was living in Canada. Except he was also spending a lot of time in the US, looking for canned tuna.

Of the folks I know who have gone into the military, not one has mentioned college.

The price of college skyrocketed when the government got involved with student loans. Suddenly there was no cap on what schools could charge.

Does it really cost $6K/student for four months of buildings and instructors? No, but colleges can charge it and spend it, so they do.

They already did Apple. The verdict was that Apple could force users into its store, but it couldn't force sellers into its payment system.

This means that Apple can require you to download games and DLC only from the store, but if you buy an add-on, Apple must let the developer sell it to you from the developer's website or other source.

You can buy some things off the PlayStation network already, so not sure if the situation is identical.

My male housemate wants to start female hormones because he is self-conscious about his looks. Obviously, I'm not supportive of this.

We've talked a lot about different ways to deal with the problems of low self-esteem, but he likes the idea of being "pretty".

We've also talked about the risks of hormone therapies, such as you might shoot up an elementary school.
