Good actors can do different dialects and accents convincingly.
If an actor is good at doing an Australian accent they are an "Autist". |

| These early stories about Monkey Pox spreading sort of remind me of the stories about two years ago about COVID-19. Surely that is just a coincidence, right?? For any conspiracy theorists out there, might there be a Monkey Pox conspiracy? Could some country have developed a new strain and begun spre... |

| Welcome to WP! I hope you like it here. And, I agree with: Antisocial is not the same as asocial. Asocial means lacking the motivation to be social. Antisocial is when a person behaves in ways that harm or lack consideration for the well-being of others. Sorry for the explanation, but people saying ... |

| For cat people, cats are wonderful! While I was growing up my best friend was our indoor/outdoor cat. He didn't make a mess in the house unless he was accidentally locked in and in a part of the house with no litter box. Even then he did his best (for instance, in the bathtub or in the magazine buck... |

| My bride had a copy of Temple Grandin [2010] before we even suspected I might be o n t h e S p e c t r u m . But I was not interested enough to watch it until after I was diagnosed.

Well. You're ahead of me. I had never even heard of the Autism Spectrum until I was 64. I had heard of the movie Rain Man [1988] but I have yet to see it.
(Since being diagnosed I have discovered a few movies about Autism I like, though.) |

| Sigh. The next time we work our way through What We Do in the Shadows [2019– ] I am likely to vaguely remember this thread and my bride will be confused as to why I seem amused when they say that line. |

| (a) Are they short-haired? That would be much tidier than a longhair. When I and my bride married she had two Ragdoll cats (which are long-haired) and the shed hair was messy...and, being cats, they were constantly licking themselves and had to cough up a lot of hairballs. (b) Don't take them from t... |
