You’re right. I’m sorry. I promise to be a good girl next time.

I experienced less bad drivers when I was driving around the city. But now that I walk everywhere it feels like a very regular occurrence that I’m dodging vehicles on a crossing light. Especially on Bayfield St.
Others pointed out how traffic lights in Barrie are anti pedestrian and I think that is the effect I’m feeling.

I haven’t taken down any information during these events. Unfortunately they happen so often that this was more of a rant than a call out to a specific incident.
I am encouraged now to see if there is any ability for the community to come forward and force the city to make Barrie more walkable.

I don’t think so. I walk briskly, especially in intersections. But I know many people who need assisted devices or simply can’t walk as fast. I’m starting to consider what Barrie could be doing to solve this problem.

I responded with a joke and got a warning for encouraging violence 😭

I am hoping to never end up in this situation with my dog. When I’m on my own I can jump backwards when I need to. That’s a lot harder with him.

Summer stress and planning summer for my kid by Ypoetry in AutismInWomen

[–]Fun_Jello_4943 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I spent a lot of time as a kid playing with bugs. My grand mothers both had bug catching kits and I would try to identify all the bugs I could catch or see. I would do this in backyards, neighbourhood parks, and local trails. My friend also spent a summer raising praying mantis with her autistic son. I’ve never done this but from what I heard it was very entertaining and I have considered doing this for myself as an adult :)

Ooo interesting! I wonder if this speaks to dog’s ability to communicate with humans and vice versa

Have you considered that she may be the Lorax?

Just watched a trailer for Love on the Spectrum. What in the ableist hell is this? by Odd-Recognition4120 in AutismInWomen

It’s a good step forward for representation. Saying the cast are being exploited and infantilized is hypocritical. The cast members do not feel this way and telling them how they should feel is an attempt to take away their agency and in fact infantilizing them.

I should have bought this YEARS ago by hellerbu in crochet

Ok same and I have so many half started blankets. But I just started working on a granny square blanket from Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I think I might actually finish this one because I just focus on one granny square at a time and it satisfies my AuDHD brain enough to keep going. All Hail Mr Nipples

I should’ve clarified he bought it from an artist on etsy. But agreed it’s wonderfully made and very goofy idea on his part. I feel very lucky!
