There was a naturalist who studied the customs and history of the small African nation.

Try your best not to wake up three times in the middle of the night. Mom and dad fight enough as it is, you don’t need to cause another fight about who gets more sleep than the other. Try not to make a mess when they change your diaper, this only makes for embarrassing stories to be told at parties when you’re older, trust me. When learning to walk, don’t reach out to grab the corners of furniture or walls; life moves fast, so you better get used to learning at the same speed. On the day of your fourth birthday, please try to refrain from taking scissors to your curly brown hair. Mom gets rather flustered and does a worse job trying to fix your impromptu haircut than you could’ve done yourself.

Did I just diagnose myself with Autism Spectrum Disorder from watching a Jim Jefferies stand-up special?
“You know, how you have little empathy, you don’t listen when others talk, and you don’t make eye contact.” Ok now I have to say this off the bat. I know that Jim Jefferies is a comedian. I know that as a comedian he says things to get a laugh, not to cure cancer, or even to diagnose people with specific illnesses. His job is entertainment, just like I know that Star Wars isn’t real (I still, however, firmly believe that I could become a jedi… But we can discuss that later). So please don’t think I am relying on the words from a comedy routine alone.
