What AS/ASD myth do I hate the most?
It's a tossup between the myth that we're all just like "Rainman" at one extreme, and "Slingblade" at the other, and the myth that we're all bed-wetters, fire-starters, and torturers of small animals.
I have a small yard, 1.20m on 2.40m.
When I need to clean it I need hours to do it as I first take care of all insects living there like spiders, ants, flies and smaller ones I cannot identify.
I do not want them or get hurt or killed so I assemble them on a safe spot.
Last year work had to be done by removing plants, but it seemed, that a lot of little animals lived in there.
I was scared to give them over to the biological trash (meaning plants with insects), because I did not wanted the plants or insects to get hurt.
My partner told me, that they all go to one big compost (don't know if this is right english word).
I agreed as they would continue living.
Then heard later that there is no big compost but it gets burned.
I don't know, what is true, my partner would not tell me.
But the picture of the plants and insects dying hurts me, because I did not want to hurt them.
