One of my stock answers to the question “if you could go back in time to any place where would you go?” is the Berkeley Community Theatre, April 21st 1999. Go watch the Metallica S&M concert live.

Lay down next to one of my kids to help them get to sleep at 7pm last night thinking I’d won a couple of hours getting them to bed early. Next minute it’s 7am, and I’m in the exact same spot. Robbed! (On the plus side I’ve had 12hrs sleep and it feels amazing)

We’ve always been 9-10pm. Fairly common for autistic kids to sleep less than NT kids, from what I’ve read of other parents. I just sleep less as a result. Need at least a couple of hours in the evening to dissolve into a puddle and evaporate.
