Currently 141. Down from over 400-ish, after closing a bunch of them - including all Reddit posts.
I broke the can opener on that one.
yeaa... I'm guilty of that sometimes, but usually it's because I prefer reacting to the literal interpretation with another pun over having to stress about giving a quick, serious and polite answer to the intended meaning - basically I am stalling for time to think about it.

I have no idea what's going on, but they are cute together.
I know the discourse... they're not perfect representation. But I still like them as supporting characters.
What's your favorite Autism or ADHD mascot?
This chart was especially helpful for me - for sorting my traits into categories, because I don't fit well into any single one. It explains how I was able to fly under the radar for over 30 years: by compensating each with the other two, at the cost of permanent stress and anxiety.
The extremely short version of my story is: Too good grades to be considered ADHD. Too much executive dysfunction to fulfill the expectations placed upon me for scoring high on intelligence tests. Too impulsive and thrillseeking to be considered Autistic.
