I find it really exhausting how allistic people do tarot card readings of faces. I was with my friend over the weekend. She was getting dressed "why are you looking like this, do I look stupid?". I wasn't thinking about anything that moment. Or when she asked the waiter sth, my face wasn't right and she thought that I thought that she was embarrassing?? I'd tell her if she was (I sometimes really do tell her). #actuallyautistic

I had again a wonderful day of #boardgames with friends. We played all the clever variants. I was so sleepy today that I made very low scores. But at least I won the last one 😎 And then we played Quacksalber. Tight victory with one point for me.
We also had delicious cinnamon buns and apple cake. This was a perfect autumn day 🍂 🎲
#Brettspiele

The game's name is Quacksalber von Quedlinburg. A game were every player has a cauldron. She blindly draws ingredient-tiles from a bag and puts them into the cauldron. You have to stop drawing before you get spoiled ingredients. It's a push your luck game.

Takenoko. A game with bamboo and a panda who collects it.

Can I get your opinion?

I’m hesitant to offer discounts for reviews with Autistic Bookshop because authors would lose 10% profit. I could do 5% for a review, but that results in a different author losing 5% profit for a review on someone else’s book.

Giving 10% off just my stuff doesn’t seem enough. Could give nothing, but I don’t think honesty and good will are motivating enough. Reviews help the autistic authors make more money.

What would you think as the customer?

I was unsure because a lot of The Lord of the Rings games are bad. But after reading reviews I bought it for €36. I'm very happy so far, the material is great, the artwork is pretty and the book format is something different 😊 I'm looking forward to playing it. #boardgames #Brettspiele

The Autistic Innovator LLC is official. Finally got the paperwork back! Yay!

Next just waiting on the DBAs for I Love Plushies and Autistic Bookshop then the attorney can get started on the contract. 😃

There’s a technical glitch with my book printer’s app integration so just need them to fix that and then the store will be almost ready to go once the contract is done.

When the outdoor swimming pools close for the winter, they open the area for a day of doggy swimming. It's lovely 🥰 Franco loves going into the children's pool, Panka is not so wild about water, but she enjoys the large area or getting sticks out of the water. #dogs #dogsofmastodon

Freshly bought at #Spiel23 and now on my table: Cascadia Landmarks 🌲🐻
I played with it's new animal scoring cards and the landmark scoring cards. They add a nice component to the game without making it too complicated. Once you have an area that is 5 tiles big, you get a landmark token and choose a landmark scoring card. So every player can get unique scoring cards. There are also new campaign challenges, for solo and multiplayer 😊 Nice expansion! #Boardgames #Brettspiele

We are completely overloaded. Nevertheless, we had a good time at #Spiel23. I am very happy with our loot. I didn't know about the existence of Everdell Farshore. I am utterly delighted by its design 😍😍 It's definitely my fav this year. #Boardgames #Brettspiel

Finished "But You Don't Look Autistic At All" by Bianca Toeps. She is a Dutch web developer and photographer, who lived in Japan and has a special interest in Disney Parks. Her book is a mix of various autism topics. I especially liked her chapters on Japan or on being an autistic person online. (Good advice: Don't be angry at everything. Choose your battles.). #autism #actuallyautistic #books
