Oh how's the weather? I heard the sky was blue today. Small talk, small talk. Mmm yes small talk. Jenny took her dog to the groomer and got a cute lion cut small talk.

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.
