Garden Notes: July 15, 2026

Asking Eric: Will cutting 2 relatives out of my will cause a family rift?

Eric: This could be confusing for everyone. If there’s enough to go around, what’s the harm in leaving something to everyone as a gesture of your love?

Asking Eric: I’m over neighbors who keep making rude comments about my autism

Eric: You don’t owe anyone an explanation simply for living your life.

Asking Eric: Neighbors say I make them ‘nervous’ because Autism makes me fidget

For the past year and a half that I’ve lived where I am, I have faced nothing but rudeness from those around me.

Asking Eric: Autistic resident puts up with more than a year of neighbor’s rudeness

People look at me funny and ask me if I’m ‘OK.’ When I ask them why, they say I appear ‘fidgety.’

Asking Eric: Neighbors are cruel about my autism and it makes me furious

These comments come mainly from older men and it’s nasty and irritating.
