   Autists seem to pay a lot more attention to the little details that make their gifts pretty damn perfect, tbh.
   And they don't come with the expectation that I also spend precisely $x, that I would have had to guess correctly beforehand.

     "This matches that thing you like" is definitely part of how I express love. I absolutely love spotting things that complete something for someone!
     That adapter they needed, or a replacement knob for their drawer, things like that.

     We tend to put a lot more effort and thought into it. Often, because it's a form of pebble love.

     But... The pressure to find those things at a particularl date is impossible. Those aren't things I can usually just go get. If I could, they probably already ordered one. And if come across it, withholding it to the next holiday seems stupid, and I will almost definitely lose it.
