Also it's super obvious when I'm actually upset for future reference.
I cuss like mad and essentially shriek at people.
I'm autistic. I'm tired of masking it. If I need an explanation I prod for it.

@Museek @MrGoat
Agreed after the continued interaction.

I took now 16 to a classmates birthday party in 1st grade and I had to take now 14 along, in his stroller, and a Dad said to now 14, "Shouldn't you be walking by now?"
And I snapped my fingers to get the Dad's attention and said, "Do you want to chase him?"
He stared at me and then walked away.

This kid is FAST.
And he liked the stroller because usually people left him alone.

If a dude mentions Equipment I don't know if it is a penis joke or not.
It's hard to tell.

@Museek @MrGoat

Oh I didn't think it went south.
I was just trying to get people to understand it takes maintenance.

My son is fast and will unintentionally end up dead.
I don't know what to say to get people to listen to me.

My son nearly made it to the highway at my mother's funeral.
I ran after him in heels and my cousin ran him down in her Jeep
I snagged him as she got to him in her Jeep and I threw him into her Jeep and she said, "Jesus Mary and Joseph."
"Yeah no shit!"

3 adult humans and 2 Australian shepherds brought down my son before he could drown.
Because my mother didn't listen.
I got on a horse one more time.
It's terrifying.
They're huge!
But I did it.
My mom said - never tell anyone else about this.
I just stared at her.
I never told anyone until after she died
PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO PARENTS.

I got on my horse after establishing a relationship with her, and then I saw my 3yo running through the pastures full of horses.
I flipped to look at my mom.
"He was Loud!"
My glare singed the planet.
Meanwhile the people AND DOGS who worked on the ranch went after my 3yo as I jumped off the horse.
Because there were lakes.

I signed up for lessons for myself.
Two lessons.
Climbing onto a 3000 pound animal was terrifying. I'm not okay with it.
My mom came along, and I told her that no matter what my younger son did she could not release him from his stroller.
He was 3 and very fast.
My mom said okay.
I got on a horse, terrified.
#horses

My trans son was an emotional wreck at age 5 and although I suspected that he was queer I didn't know what was going on.
So I took him for horse riding lessons.
In a place where you were required to groom and also be there with the farrier.
My kid has almost no memory of this.
But I do.
He did great.
I love horses. They also terrify me.
It was good for all of us.
Oh there's a story.

There's nothing like watching your 5 yo bow to a horse they just helped groom and watching that horse bow in return.
When you're over 40 and still terrified of horses
And because of your kid you finally get on a horse after bowing first.

@MrGoat @KodoAndSangha

It's a bundle of hard shit made out of keratin.
It's only icky if a horse isn't comfortable with their leg lifted and worked with.

@KodoAndSangha

I took 16 for horse when he was 5 and almost 6, and we were assigned to farrier.
They really don't even feel it.
It's like a gemstone punched into a fingernail.
This is why proper horse people have their horses reshoed as soon as that hoof grows.

In 1981 my father had me for the weekend and woke up to find me with my blanket elevated like this although I was on my stomach and he freaked out.
I was on my stomach with my feet lifted.
I just checked on my younger son and gloried in the geometry of sleeping soundly.
Who cares as long as you are asleep?
#Sleep

This is a bunch of us #Autistic people every time we misunderstood something because we didn't know if it was serious or a joke.
Yes, we have deep feelings.
We sometimes get confused.

@MrGoat @Museek

That's not the point.
We don't WANT TO FCK UP

@MrGoat @Museek
Okay great.
I know you have many people to keep track of, but I am not a person who can understand without explanation.

@MrGoat @Museek
Not discussing your penis. I'm, as an autistic person, assuming this is the joke?

@MrGoat @Museek

You clean your equipment and then walk in the bathroom and go WTF?
Then we can discuss this bullshit.
