Dramatic and glamorous!

That’s beautiful! You have every reason to be proud of it.

Years ago, before podcasts existed, my fellow editors at @thinkingautism and I were all identified by name and then called “pharmawhores” by some right-wing internet radio host. AFIK, none of us have received sketchy monthly payments on our porches. So disappointing. 🤷‍♀️

I’d break down the steps for him. For example, I’d say “A clean room means no clothes on the floor.” Then we’d pick up clothes to throwing dirty ones in a hamper & putting the clean ones in drawers. Same with toys. I made sure to say “OK, now your room is clean,” so he knew the task was done. (2/2)
