My sister-in-law doesn't quite understand that my social battery is extremely low, when it comes to dealing with neurotypical people.

I try to avoid shopping malls where I can, as they are a source of sensory overload. I just want to get in, get what I want and get out. And, I hate hearing piped music of Christmas songs.

My way of spending Christmas is, a toast to a friend of mine who died on Christmas Day, 1997, a quiet Christmas time, some writing and a six-play for George Michael, who died on Christmas Day, 2016. I don't play a lot of Christmas songs, other than John Lennon's Happy Christmas and Wham's Last Christmas.
