    So it turns out it wasn't an autism assessment, it's a mental therapist but I still made mention of autism, I didn't say 'I'm self-diagnosed' but I did say 'I strongly suspect'

    Next meeting with her is next month. Yay.

    A mental therapist?
    A therapist who is mental?
    I've met a few of those in my time.

    It has been awhile but I like going to the zoo too and usually get a plush animal of some kind while there.

    I understand that funerals cost money.
    But not why you would be obligated to pay for it.

    Sounds good. Hopefully more than Social Security allocates for formal recipients. ($255) Last I heard the average cost was around $5000.

    @tree My grandpa had already purchased a pre-need plan from the funeral home prior to his death that was (almost) entirely all paid off (literally the last payment of ~$150 would've been due this month)

    I did not repair my Windows install today but I did buy a new enclosure for my external hard drive and thankfully the problem where my external drive was not working was because the SATA to USB adapter stopped working and not the actual drive itself having failed. It means I just spent like $25 to fix it in like 2 minutes instead of hundreds of dollars on data recovery.

    I am going to try and repair my Windows install today, if for no reason other than I kind of (unfortunately) still need Windows for some games that are a pain in the ass/basically impossible to get working on Linux.

    I came out to my grandfather today.

    I can't say it went good or bad because he wasn't even awake but still, I just wanted to do this and tell him before he passes.

    I wish I could have done it earlier.

    I won't make you happy by saying this. But the coming out is for you, not him. His generation thought of things quite differently than you do. You might actually hurt him. If he's old and weak, just leave things as it is. Otherwise it's selfish.

    If he loves you, it's okay. But it may not be important to him, or he may not understand. But you felt better. You felt connected. He will know you, by your spiritual connection.

    My grandmother was kind of in and out of it. But she recognized me as one that always showed her love. And we both felt secure in that connection. The most important thing, is that you showed up for him. That's a beautiful gift. I am sorry you are going thru this difficult time now.
