I have an autistic, not very verbal daughter. She’s 9 and I’ve still never had an actual convo. with her longer than 4-5 words at a time, with us coaching her along with what to say.

Last night I was sitting at my desk, playing NMS. Nothing exciting, just working on my gravatino orb farm. My daughter walked up and said:

“Can I watch spaceman please.”

I was like.. “😳… err.. sure, have a seat.”

So she sat on my lap and was just watching me walk around my base. I went into one of my modular hallways and she said “he’s walking… he’s in the hallways… where is he going.”

I exited, hit my jetpack to go up to my landing pad on the roof and she verbalized that the spaceman was jumping, then when I got into my fighter. “He’s flying’da ship”

Shot up to the local star port, landed, and jumped up to where the NPC Gek are walking around with their datapads.

She started telling the ‘frogs’ to watch out, and get out of the way.

That was pretty damned nice. It was definitely worth the $60 lol 🙂
