   I’m thankful for all my friends and family who stuck with me over the years despite the fact I don’t always keep in touch. So I really appreciate people who do.

   I get so involved in my projects, pets, gardening that time flies and people who easily get flustered by friends who don’t keep in touch regularly normally get flustered with me and eventually dump me.

   Same with those who feel insulted if I don’t want to see them as often as they’d like to see me. Friends of mine have to understand that meeting in person or even speaking over the phone is a very intensive activity for me as an #ActuallyAustistic person. My needing solitude doesn’t mean I do not love people. I do but in very small doses.
