I have to say, I suspected this. Being honest. I said to myself, "What could run off Stamets," and that's exactly what I came up with. The benefit of being closer to 40 than 30 I guess.

Now to join your community. Thank you genuinely for commenting here for me to see directly. I'm not good at creating content (every time I ever got a burst of creativity on reddit I was banned for posting too much so I just stopped making memes) but I comment like a sumbitch!

Here's hoping we see a response.

Autism can present in many ways and many "levels." Are you talking about making all of your gnomes a specific, similar presentstion (ASD 1?) Or are you talking about specific stereotypes of autism? Are you talking about giving them all your very specific brand of behaviors associated with an autism diagnosis?

Because this is all important. If you're making them all have racial traits that are like you, then I say, have at, but maybe don't call it autism specifically, because you're representing a specific type and others might feel unrepresented. Or if you're making them all have behaviors we associate with a specific type of ASD, then make sure there's room in there for them to present in their unique ways.

Example: All gnomes have ASD traits. Make a roll on a chart for all known associated behaviors, randomly assigning those traits. Maybe this gnome is bad at eye contact, but maybe that one is bad at eye contact and also hypersensitive to sound. Maybe this one is extremely interested in obscure music, or that one is really great at drawing.

There's a lot to figure out but I think you can do it! If you want to. It's cool to write things we're familiar with but also to be true to our own experience. I have ADHD but my behaviors are very different from my ADHD boyfriend, and both our types are valid.

Still a favorite. So much later humor got its start in someone watching this movie.

Man I had to reread that headline like five times. "How was the man, who was killed, rebuking anyone?"

I really wish this was labeled with a warning. Scared the hell out of me.

I'm in awe of the pylons.

Be good to you, friend. Hope we cross paths elsewhere.

Absolutely fascinating! As shareholders they have a unique standing for this suit. I'm going to be watching this closely.

Wow. Innovative way to try to force change, nuns. Regardless of how you feel about guns, this is a very interesting way to attempt to accomplish their goal.
