    Comfort smells...

    Everyone knows about comfort foods. What about smells, scents? Especially this time of year with the Holidays here. What smells give you a sense of comfort, memories, or scents that you just like? Examples: Cinnamon Brooms. I buy several every year when they are available for fall to set...

    Swimming with the Betas

    Yesterday morning I had a most unusual dream. I'm posting this under special interests, because my dream life is of a special interest to me. I like trying to figure out the psychological symbolism. And some of them are like going through a maze. I dream in vivid color, lucid much of the time...

    Here comes the Hurricane

    Just to let everyone know we are preparing for a direct hit hurricane here in Tampa Bay. The last direct hit was 100 years ago. Storm of the century, I guess. The power always goes out when they come by here. Last one, Irma, six years ago, we were without power for 12 days. So, if you don't...

    Sweet Stuff

    I don't have a desire for eating anything very sweet. Neither do I snack. If I do eat anything sweet, such as the rare piece of a really good brand boxed candy or a cordial, I can only eat one piece. If someone says take another and I have done that to oblige, it seems to make me sick to my...

    Cataract Surgery Tuesday

    I'm have cataract surgery this week and next. Of course, I am very nervous about this, but, my sight is getting bad rapidly from cataracts. I know there are others here in my age catagory that may have had experience with cataracts. I am getting Toric IOLs due to high astigmatism. It is...

    Voice Masking

    Through my life I have become very good at masking to fit in. Or at least I hope I have and not just fooling myself while others still may be thinking I am strange somehow. Today a cashier who started talking with me on one of my interests ask if I was British. Suffolk in particular. This has...

    New Quirky Series...Dispatches from Elsewhere

    I watched the two hour special last weekend for this and it seemed so odd I wasn't sure I'd like it. But, I rewatched the first hour and I think it is going to be interesting. Yes, the events in it are twisted and strange, but, it appears to be a very elaborate game that was designed to make...

    Animal Dreams.

    Someone was telling me about their dreams and how they often involved various animals. This made me start thinking about my own dreams. I realised there have been very few dreams that ever had animals in them, despite feeling a close connection to the animal kingdom. From a psychological...

    If You Were...

    Make a list of objects that you identify with and why. For example: If you were a tree, what kind would you be? If you were an animal, what would it be? What color feels like you? If you were a flower, what flower are you? It can be anything you imagine. And it could be fun to see what and...

    Anyone tried TMS therapy?

    Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. Used to induce more neurotransmitters such as seratonin only supposedly does not give the side effects that antidepressants do. To qualify you must have a doctor that knows you have tried antidepressants but could not tolerate the side effects or they just...

    And So This is Christmas

    Many of us here are alone for the holidays. Some prefer that, some feel alone, some are with family, some just want to get through it. So in the spirit of our forum family and friends, I created a Christmas Day share a gift. It could be a photo, a video, a quote, a song or just a greeting and...

    Did you grow up wanting friends?

    Did you naturally want to make friends as a child or did that desire come later in life as you grew older? Did it ever develop at all? Maybe you wanted friends, but, it was difficult to know how to create a friendship? I'm interested in this usually normal reaction between fellow humans. Are we...

    Hungry, anyone?

    A lot of questions regarding common traits have been discussed, but, today I was thinking about appetite. Myself and two Aspies I know seem to have poor appetites. I can go all day and eat very little or even forget to eat. Hunger is a feeling I rarely have. I eat small meals and don't snack in...

    Imaginary Childhood Friends...

    Did you have one or more? Did they have names? What were they like? Human, animal, or something totally fantastic? I did not have this capability. It would be interesting to know a bit about how others did and what type of friends were they. The purpose they fulfilled for you.

    Appetite and ASD

    Something I have been wondering about is hunger or lack of it. The Aspies I know, self included, doesn't seem to have the need or craving for the amount of food most other people want. I see people eating large meals in restaurants. Snacking all day. Large breakfasts. And even talking about...
