      @@WB4JB For a lot of autistic people it's hard to just sit down and enjoy something and be content. It's a lot of overstimulation mentally, even just sitting down doing nothing, it feels like very bad anxiety and its difficult to focus on something, in other words it's hard to find something that can not only keep your mind at bay but also find something you can enjoy. It's a big deal to people like us, the 20 minutes of peace and not having to deal with the mental unpleasantness really means a lot. It's like trying to drive a car that bucks and surges, cuts out, etc. When you finally drive over a smooth road and the engines running perfectly its awesome, to most people that would just be driving

    Garrett is unquestionably Tom's long lost son.

This is really nice to watch the older generation and maybe THE youngest person out here running his own record holding program; working together and recalling how each of them have influenced the other, it is so damn cool
    To make it short, i LOVE seeing tom and cleeter hang out together. There is so much history and chemistry between them, they should DEFINITELY be doing more stuff together. If they come out for drag week with each of them in a camaro i am seriously going to lose my freakin shit
