The last five minutes have been such big autistic/ADHD feels. Six-year-old: "I wanna play Untitled Goose Game!" Me: "Great idea! You left your laptop on the table in the kitchen." Six-year-old: (goes into kitchen comes back) "Where??" Me: "On the laundry on the table." Six-year-old: (returns to kitchen) Six-year-old: (abruptly sprints from kitchen to front door) Six-year-old: (flings front door open) Me: "????" His cat Monkey: (runs in) Me: "Oh." Six-year-old: (bursts outside) Me: "????" Six-year-old: (bursts back in with empty dish of cat food for our porch cat, Tibs) Me: "Oh." Six-year-old: (flies into kitchen) Six-year-old: (flies back through living room with cat food) Six-year-old: (puts cat food on porch, makes sure Monkey's inside, closes front door, heads for couch) Me: "You still left your laptop on the table in the kitchen."

#actuallyautistic #audhd things #autistic parenting #ok but the sheer love and commitment to a cat that just automatically overrides everything else?!#also i wanna emphasize that i did not say the last line judgmentally and he didn't take it that way #i was just repeating it in a flat way to bookend the situation for comedy's sake #normally i would have been like “i love your commitment to the cats and also don't forget your laptop is still in the kitchen”#i did tell him next that i loved his commitment to the cats lol #now he's sitting next to me playing Spirit of the North #i have no idea how to play this game but apparently you can just be a fox frolicking in the snow #you're supposed to save the world from the weird red streak in the sky i think #but omg the fox and its floof and the snow #that's Good Stuff (tm)#wall of words
