Example
Card: Happy birthday! I love how you're always happy, like when we went to the beach and it started raining. Even though we were bummed out, you found a way to make it fun and we had a great time. I hope you receive the same happiness on your birthday that you gave me at the beach.
Gift: The shirt they said they liked at the beach store but didn't buy it for themselves.
Follow me for more autism survival guides ๐
edit: Warning, some people will become upset if they recognize that you follow this/a formula. I haven't figured out a solution to this.
But of course its you! :)) thanks for sharing this. I struggle with this as well. Great advice.
Thanks! Imagine the possibilities if we could decode the patterns of NT social interaction. Formulas, flowcharts, and nodes everywhere ๐. Birthday coming up? "Activate Birthday Gifts and Card Protocol, go!" ๐
Now you know why I am so obsessed with linux and scripting. ;)
Genuinely helpful.
You're welcome! I'd be happy to help you out with your particular situation. Hit me up on matrix if you'd like ๐๐
Also,
To be fair I use the same card design every year, so it probably wouldn't be much worse
I'd be your friend ๐
Better than my method:
