Thank you for the inadvertent microchip reminder! Making a note to ask at their next vet appointment, since I wasn't given any documentation about how to change/update chip info when I adopted them.

Also looking forward to your ASD masking blog, if it ends up here!

Welcome! And the ASD masking blog will definitely wind up here. If you have tricks and strategies to share, definitely dump those here in comments so that I can credit you with them.

I'll think on it! Unfortunately my default is "anxious hyper-vigilance and judgement" which oughtn't be included in any guide 😅
