Had to call in sick because of some sort of abdominal pain that comes up every few months. Can’t tell what it is exactly but I had my appendix out already so at least it’s not that, lol. ACV + water seems to help. I get the sense that autistic folks tend to have more stomach issues than our allistic counterparts.
Might do some light gaming or drawing if I feel better by the late morning. I also have my cats to keep me company if nothing else, and they can be pretty entertaining.
Interesting, didn't know it was common for GI issues in people with autism. Kinda thought it was just me 😅
Nope not just you. It's why many of us are "picky" eaters I think.
