In honor of the fourth of July I would like to ask our European friends and family to please adopt an American family in need. Our family has six cats and we need to get the fuck out of America!

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.
