Conversation between me and vocational rehab counselor I work with:
VRC: You should read Temple Grandin's Understanding Social Relationships and put together a training based on it that you can give to kids with autism

At least your VRC was honest!?!? Yikes!

Haha yeah, I guess that's true. But she did try to convince me that I CAN teach those things... which, to some extent you can, but the devil's in the details. For some people with autism, you can say something like, "It's not okay to talk about your body or someone else's at work" because they got in trouble for casually asking a coworker a bra size, but then it's confusing as to why other people talk about diets or illnesses or whatever and don't get in trouble. So yeah, obviously the person thought this book was like, a list or a training manual or something, when so far it's basically an autobiography of how this shit is totally hard to learn.

YEAH PARTY TIME! I started early and went out to karaoke with some friends who are in from out of town! And I am trying to make plans with vogdoid too.
