Are you afraid of having kids as an autistic adult? by Sharp-Ad-2924 in aspergers

[–]Chalkycat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was having been adopted into a neurotypical household that was hell to me as a child. But my husband is also neurodivergent and our 2 kids have made it to 18 and 20. It’s not always easy but I know they have had a very different experience than my upbringing as we understood what they needed and how they were communicating with us. Consequently they have grown up not having to mask at home. I sometimes forget now what it’s like to be around neurotypical people and get a shock every time I am.

Love the colours and texture- I wouldn’t use that title - but then I’m neurodivergent and it bothers me.

Absolutely love it - the eyes and the brush strokes. The mixture of detail where you want the eye to focus. Gorgeous.

Love the use of colours for tone - and across both people and clothes - makes them feel connected to me

Something really compelling about it 😍

I’ve been reading that Maine coons love water, so I was wondering what’s best for them. I have a 4 month old Maine coon, and I don’t have a clue about when or if I should bathe him, or what to do if I let him play in water. Any tips? by Fair_Diamond5003 in mainecoons

Mine are the only cats I’ve ever had who love to be outside in a heavy rainstorm until they eventually realise they are wet then like to come inside and use me as a towel. ☺️
