It is Friday. You know it, I uh I know it. But why don't you tell me what it is.

This is a daily post for “casual” conversation. If you want to post or talk about something non autism related this is where to do it. For example if you want to info dump about your special interest but it doesn’t fall into “autism related” then you can post it here in the comments. All other rules are still active, be respectful to each other.

In my place they call just to remind that I have a doctor appointment next day. Its useless, waste of time and scares me as hell cos phone numbers always different . Beside that I have Reminders via SMS and Email. I am yet to figure out how to make them stop calling me

Anything associated with the government here has websites straight out of the 1980s appearance wise, and they love calling, so every time I set something up online they're like "book a time for a call" and im like.. "😵‍💫😵‍💫 can we not?" hah
