Did you know every "Hey What's Going On" post is hand made with love just for you.

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.

Played board games with a friend last night and it seems like the guys at the board game store are warming up to us a little. I can potentially make new friends! It's exciting. Too bad I only go there every other week or so

I messed around with shredded pastry dough today and made a weird but tasty kind of banana yogurt eggroll with it.

It basically bakes up like shredded wheat you can shape beforehand and the little dough shards made really pleasant sounds when they crunched.
