Bill Taroli :neurodiversity:<p>3/4 The chatter was topical but I think I let my familiarity guard down a bit too much. Before the crowd got really big — I just turn into a <a href="https://federate.social/tags/wallflower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wallflower</span></a> at that point — I engaged in some chatter with other parents who also arrived early.
