    I saw my neighbors dog hang out with their cat, so I guess cats and dogs can be best friends.

    We had two small dogs and two cats. The dogs followed around the cats like a train. The dogs wanted the catnip, the string cheese sticks, the butter small bites we gave in the winter, and little saucers of milk we put out for treats. Both cats and dogs enjoyed whipped cream also.

    Ever had trouble focusing on tasks?

    yep theres a whole self help movement around dopamine management (the motivation and focus neurochemical). Tech has hijacked our dopamine system, its all out of kilter.

    Yes. It has been hard to focus for long at a time since my Dad's most recent tantrum and hearing some bad news about a family member in another town in the same day.

    I wonder if being a late bloomer is common for autism.

    That's good to know. It just wasn't something l desired.

    I hope my next decade is going to be a great one! My dad said to me when I was a late teen, possibly early 20s that I'll be a late bloomer. Probably wasn't expecting this late, it takes multiple lessons for things to sink in properly. Hope he's around to see it

    Sometimes, I feel like a crocus that doesn’t come out until the end of summer, but by then I am ready to endure the whole winter with my face smiling at the sun.

    Ever had that dream where you're both flying and then falling before you wake up?
    Xinyta

    I have. Though I've had alot of falling dreams in general. The ones where you jolt yourself awake, feeling like you fell back into your body from the dreamworld. Those are particularly jarring.

    I have too! It's like right as you drift off to sleep, you're falling, and waking up is like a hard jolt back into your consciousness like Xinyta mentioned!
    I wish I could sleep sixteen hours a day.

    Taking a shower at night is just what is needed to fall asleep easily (I can't see why people would do that in the morning).

    If I do it at night, my hair will never lay right the next day. That's the only reason.

    Ever had a memento that you've kept with since you were a kid?

    I have an old tin full of such things.

    I also have a small box of such things. Including personal objects of my parents and relatives that I could recall as a small child.

    I have a ~20 gal/75 L storage bin of old stuff my parents held on to for me. Probably the most treasured is a handful of Littlest Pet Shop figurines. I loved collecting/playing with those as a kid.

    Ever had someone comment on how different your posture (as well as other habits) are?

    @Levelskid Yes. I think my posture differences were some of the first signs that made individuals start suspecting that I had Aspergers. I was originally seen as a gifted child who happened to be clumsy, uncoordinated, hyper, and resistant to certain foods. In my tweens, Asperger's started being discussed and some of my posture differences I believe were among the original signs discussed.

    Anyone else play with Legos when your were a kid (and maybe still do)?

    Used to as a child. Gifted the huge crate of Lego I'd gathered in my childhood and gave it to an ex's son. He's 4 now and on the spectrum and loves to build.

    Yes, although for some reason I found it hard to build Lego structures so my mum did it for me and I'd just play with the little Lego men in her Lego houses

    No, but just reading about such things brings back nice childhood memories. :)

    Daylight Savings Time is here. Remember to set your clocks.;)

    I found out when I got up this morning. 🤦‍♀️

    Ruins me for months on end. Just in time for the next solstice, then it starts all over again. Hoping in vain that our state assembly passes legislation to abolish Daylight Savings Time. Which *might* finally happen.

    Always having to change 9 out of 11 clocks....:rolleyes:

    I guess it's about perspective. I love mornings. Although I used to loathe them when I had to wake up with alarms - and go to jobs I hated. But now I have a job I love, and only need to wake up to an alarm 1 day out of 7.
