"Yes Janine. We all pee everyday. But can you understand the difference between peeing everyday and peeing so often each day that it disrupts other parts of your daily life?"

I swear I'm gonna use this next time I hear "everyone is a bit autistic".

If your peeing disrupts other people's lives there's a chance you'll be arrested at some point. Unless you're a politician or rich of course.
