By line 84 she conceded she probably had autism. Highlights include: “I can’t wear nail polish or my nails can’t breathe”, “I follow eight baseball leagues in five countries, is this a special interest?”, “T-rex arms: I thought that was normal.” The spreadsheet was listed as a symptom.

My other coworker Astrid was handed a list of about 54 rows and two columns one of the behavior one of explanations of things she had done that her also extremely autistic coworker had made after working with her for three hours.

The world's first trillionaire received 38 Billion Dollars from the US government. But, no, we won't have enough money to pay for school lunches for your kids. Or give you healthcare.

This was an idea that sprang out of a moment where I was tired, and REALLY was regretting the decision to start coloring the comic strip.

I was once sent into a bathroom because a client demanded that the "fucker won't get out, so go drag them out"- I was NEVER going to do that, so I did a wellness check instead. You know who it was? A person recently released from the hospital after a car accident. They had a hole in their skull and major hearing loss. They couldn't answer the owner because they couldn't HEAR the owner.

Another time about a homeless man who got around town by kicking the ground from his wheelchair. "You know he doesn't actually need that thing, his legs work fine, it's just for pity points"- Oh, so he's not paralyzed, his wheelchair is performative? Funny story Dale, I actually know that guy, he was backed over by a truck and has chronic pain from his shattered pelvis. But sure, let's make him stand up and walk everywhere so nobody feels too bad for him and tries to help him or something.

"She doesn't need that scooter, I've seen her get out of it."

"Look how fat he is, because he just rides around and refuses to get up."

"She doesn't really need that cane- she comes here without it all the time"
