Fun with autism

    Today the dryer finished just a few minutes before it was time for me to start heating my lunch. And I found myself rushing to hang everything up as quickly as I could so that lunch wouldn't be late. As if the sun would fall out of the sky if I had to eat five or ten minutes past noon! I guess it's only funny because I'm mildly autistic; no doubt there are people for whom it would have been a struggle in deadly earnest. Then again, maybe it's not so mildly; I did get everything put away in time. So nobody has to worry about the sun falling, at least not today.
