    Scared of Medical Appointments

    Lately I've had at least two medical appointments per week. It would be more like four, but I cancelled a whole lot of them after becoming overwhelmed mid-January. I don't want to talk about why. It's nothing terrible. But it's exhausting and kind of painful too. Involuntarily on the nights...

    It's December 29. Anyone else still celebrating Christmas? Are you celebrating Chanukkah?

    I had heard about the 12 days of Christmas a few years ago, how certain Christian denominations celebrate Christmas until January 6th (I think?). I had a friend who told me that Christmas lasts 12 days and that they celebrate Epiphany on Jan 6th, because that's traditionally the time period that...

    You're either going to kill me or agree with me on this one....

    First of all, I can barely barely play guitar. Therefore I am absolutely no expert at all. I stumble and struggle through the most basic songs. Six year olds play hot cross buns like virtuosos, compared to my clumsy attempts at "music". So take this with a grain of salt. Lately I have been...

    Words You Haven't Heard Spoken Since You Were A Kid

    This is a game where you post words that aren't in use anymore, but when you think of them, it gives great nostalgia. I'll start.

    Where do you live?

    This is an international autism forum, so I have been wondering where everyone is from. On the poll, mark which continent you live on. And in the comments, if you like, you can specify which country/city you live in. And maybe if you'd like, you can tell us a little bit about that place.

    Antisemitism at home

    For the second time this year, someone pried the mezuzah off my doorframe. Both events happened on Shabbat during a Holy Jewish Festival. This time, however, they stole the Torah scroll inside. Are my daughter and I in danger? I'm getting scared. Edit: I filled out a police report, and...

    River Fishing off a Dock

    I have loved fishing my whole life. For the past two years, I have lived near the delta of two of the major rivers in North America. The Willamette, and the Columbia. I have never fished in a major river before. I don't know what to do. I've fished in plenty of lakes, ponds, and reservoirs...

    Cleaning tips for the disabled

    This is a thread where we can share our ideas to make cleaning easier for those with mobility disabilities. ******** Here is something I did today: I have very tall ceilings, even when standing on tip toes, I cannot reach the top of the walls. There is a layer of visible dust along the walls...

    Courteous Loners

    I was out running errands when I passed this car. Printed on the side was the phrase, "Courtesy Loaner". I chuckled a little, smiled, nodded, and whispered to myself, "Courteous Loner. Yup, same. Or at least I try to be kind." As aspies, we're not all that sociable, but for the most part...

    Six Months Almost

    On the ninth, it'll be six months since my dad passed away. He was the only bright spot in a dark life. I was surrounded by too many adult things throughout my childhood. My father got clean for me. He defended me. He would say "Let's try to keep her innocent." And so a lot of things that I...

    Alarm Clock Survey- Multiple Choice

    I was taught as a child how to tell myself at bedtime exactly what time I need to wake up in the morning. It's a nice trick for someone who doesn't like piercing alarm sounds. It has marveled me for years how the human mind and body is such an incredible creation, that one can train themselves...

    Why do you think the power keeps going out in the back bedrooms?

    Every couple months, sometimes more frequently, the power goes out in my back two bedrooms. The rest of the house will be fine, but for the bedrooms, the power goes out. I have to go in to the circuit box and flip the switch for the bedrooms, to get em going again. I have a small 8000 btu...

    Old fashioned wildfire alert box?

    Growing up in the high desert, we had this electric fire map thing. It was a big, heavy metal box, I think it was manufactured perhaps in the late 1960s, but used in the 1970s, 80s, and 90s. It was big on the tabletop, roughly the size of a 1980s boom box. It was stored away during the off...

    I just learned this is an Olympic sport.

    I haven't watched any of the Olympics this year. In fact, all I have seen is a one minute recap of the marksmanship competition, with the epic Turkish dad. I would like to watch that competition in full. As it seems everyone else was wearing weird cheating tech to help them dial it in, but he...

    The Watch- sleep poll

    I read recently about how in the Middle Ages, people would go to sleep around dusk, and then wake up for a few hours around midnight to 3 a.m., pray, putter around, do chores, and then go back to bed. They called this time "The Watch". I've also read of it spoken of differently. The rabbis...

    Better tape to hold a portable air conditioner hose in the window?

    We own a portable air conditioner. There is custom cut plexiglass in the window, with a hole just the size of the hose. The plexiglass is held on the window with Gorilla Tape. The hose is secured in the hole with gorilla tape as well. Every few weeks, it seems that the heat from the exhaust...

    A Response to "How's Life"?

    I got a text message from an old friend. I used to be an assistant leader in my daughter's scouts troop. We would carpool with their family and became friends. They moved out of state a little after I started getting sick. I haven't talked to them since the late 2010s. They asked "How's life?"...

    Hypnotic Video

    I like to watch nature videos on Youtube some nights, when it is hard to sleep. Very quiet, pov videos of driving, or of rain falling in the night. If there is talking in the video or music, it ruins it. It's just supposed to look real enough for me to believe I'm there, falling asleep in these...
