minus-squareSwednecklinkfedilinkarrow-up13·11 months agoI have autism and probably ADHD, eating without something else to stimulate me is absolute misery and if you tell me to put away my phone i’m going to start avoiding eating with you.

minus-squareSwednecklinkfedilinkarrow-up9·11 months agoNot in my experience, my boomer dad doesn’t exactly have much in commin with me, he wants to talk about sports and i want to talk about technology.
