Want to hear a joke? I'm a little autistic... I'm five foot five and autistic. So I'm a little autistic!

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'm procrastinating learning Esperanto. Damn ADHD. I'd also like to learn Spanish, Finnish, and some day maybe even Polish. I also think Afrikaans is a cool language, though there aren't many resources to learn it because no one outside of South Africa really speaks it. Also Old English would be really cool to learn, but same problem as with Afrikaans. My special interest lately has been languages.

Dealing with health issues. Dealing with brain fog. Sad? Planning an rpg thing for tomorrow, going to run an event. Fun times. Hopefully I can keep my brain together.

I had to wake up at 3:30 AM to travel 3 hours on 3 buses and 1 train to get my personal document work done (hopefully). Then have to travel back by probably same route. At least at the morning there are not so much people at transport. Its already sunday for me btw

So six hours travel for paperwork. That sounds like a nightmare.
