Link: My Son and I Don’t Do Well with Chaos—and That’s Okay

My Son and I Don’t Do Well with Chaos—and That’s Okay by Katie Rose Pryal. "We hate surprises. What we need is to be able to set our expectations properly. A monthly column about family life, mental illness, and raising disabled kids as a disabled parent."

A lovely story about adopting a cat in an autistic-friendly way, interrupted by an employee's lack of flexibility about timing, with a happy ending.

It contains this casual bit of (living with) sexism, completely unremarked. "I have to do something. I have to try. “Give me your laptop,” I say to my husband. “They’ll listen if the email is from a dad.”"
