Some things I think

[deelaundry]

• I think when Sherlock needed help paying the rent for Baker Street, he literally needed help with the action of paying the rent. No matter how he phrased it to John or Stamford, it wasn't money he needed; it was assistance with instrumental activities of daily living, including finances. Executive functioning impairments are a real thing that even vastly intelligent people can have.



• I think I shouldn't have had that wine cooler before finishing packing for my vacation.



• I think Far From the Tree is a good documentary with a super sus summary. It's not actually about the parents; it's about those who are different from their parents, and asks us to think about what's a problem to be solved and what's a difference to be celebrated.



• I think it's kind of funny how Kid the Elder is a tiny bit freaked out about finding out I'm bi. This is the same kid who when he first heard about trans and non-binary people said, Yeah, that makes sense, sometimes I feel kinda like a girl and sometimes like a boy.

Have you read the book? It's a bit of a tome, and it's utterly riveting.

I haven't read the book, but having seen the documentary, I definitely want to. <3

Agreed on point one! Some people can't live alone and it's easier to lean on simpler reasons why.

I don't know whether I think Sherlock's autistic, but he definitely is developmentally disabled / executive-functioning impaired. And it's nice to see that in a hero <3

Kids don't think of their parents as "people", somehow!

You are so right!
