I scooped the poop!

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.

The closest giant asian supermarket was not crowded at all today so we got a chance to meander and browse and not feel like we were in everyone's way.

They were absolutely blasting 80s power ballads so much so that my partner don't even bother with his headphones lol. But being less crowded made so much nicer of an experience, sensory overload wise.
