Classic #audhd #asd experience incoming: being a secret third thing!

Bought a sensory body sock online for me and my partner in the largest size they had ("recommended for teens and adults" in the description). That led to an awkward vendor interaction where they texted me to confirm "your child's height." After I clarified twice it's for an adult, their next q was "are you a therapist?" I said "no, I'm not a parent or therapist." They replied "sorry?" #secretthirdthing #adhd #tootSEA

The switchback cuts up and left, weaving between the sister trees.

But to my right, a skylight glow graces the forest floor. Dancing ‘round this dead Mother, a circle of evergreens sing. Celebrating a life.
