    I might be mean

    So... have you ever answered a phone call, or met a friend or family member and they ask how you're doing? Most likely the answer is yes. It took me nearly 5 decades, but I finally realised, and internalised, that most people really don't want an honest answer to that question. In the past...

    Flapping my hands

    For the first time, since I was very little, I flapped my hands, and it felt good. I was trying to calm down. These are the last few days before the move, and my stress is stressing me out.😵‍💫 I was feeling like my whole body could explode, and did what I usually do, I clasped my hands...

    On interests and activities.

    Is it a trait of autism to not be able to dedicate equal amounts of time to different interests? For instance: a couple of years ago I finally had the chance to have my lifelong dream of learning biblical Greek come true. But, at the time I was going through a "crochet all the time" phase. I...

    Part of my other collection 🙈

    Guess what it is 😅😆 I'm packing it for my move up North.

    My humble rock collection, ready to move to our new home.

    This one was used by someone to sharpen a blade. You can still see the marks in it ❤️ It's not all of them, some are still out and about.

    Do you know the "21 days" rule thingy?

    Basically, the "21 days rule" says that it takes 21 days of someone doing something every day for it to become an ingrained habit. For instance: If you exercise every day for 21 days straight, it will become something you do almost without even thinking about it. If you start having meals at...

    Weird things I've always done. And I lost my password.

    I took my pc to be upgraded, and uninstalled my browsers. Then decided to do a cleanup on my phone and uninstalled my browser there too 🤦🏻‍♀️ To make things even better, I hadn't written my password down anywhere. Then, the "wonderful" PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) decided to attack...

    Tiredness and not hearing well

    So, I've noticed that by the end of a day, and when I'm really tired or in pain, I can't hear properly. I have to turn up the volume on my phone/tablet/PC, etc. To the point where, I'm wishing I could turn the sound louder on my tablet, but others are complaining that they can hear it perfectly...

    Too excited to sleep

    I found my house, made an offer and am on the process of acquiring it 🥰 But now I can't sleep! I'm trying to figure out how much would it cost to refurbishe three granite stone shops (storage rooms), and turn them into rooms I can use for more than dry out and store potatoes 😂 The house is in...

    Caught one of my stims

    This is me, this is what I always do with my hands. You can hear my "lovely" voice as well, just a couple of words. During my house hunting efforts today.😆 I had never caught one of my stims on camera. Was editing this to send it to some friends, so they could see how "wonderful" this place...

    House hunting sucks

    It's all very well to do it online, alone on the couch, just flicking through photos. But then you have to go visit the place, smell it, walk through it even if there are dead bugs and cobwebs, make nice with the realtor. Then they ask you to describe your impressions of the house honestly...

    Playing with words

    Could my love for playing with words, how they sound together in a sentence, tending to like groups of three adjectives, the love of playing with synonyms, etc. Could this be part of my ASD? I don't exactly manifest echolalia in the traditional sense of it that much. Although I do make up...

    Processing information is becoming harder

    The whole process of me selling my little house in this expensive town, so I can buy another one in a much quieter area is rather unsettling. The bureaucracy is so overreaching and befuddling. Each time I think progress is being made, something ele comes up, and leaves me anxious. I get a...

    Can my PC run this?

    Can a Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4690K @ 3.50GHz quad core run the game Stranded Alien Dawn? When I checked, it seemed to imply that my CPU capabilities aren't sufficient. The rest is super OK.

    I'm in the process of starting a process

    As I wrote in the title, I'm in the process of starting the process of selling up and buying a new home in the north of the country. One friend, not ND, keeps telling me to not rush. She doesn't get it that I've been rolling this idea, this plan, of selling up and moving for YEARS! It's not...

    No rain

    I'm slightly upset at the meteorologists. They promised rain for today, and instead it's hot and stuffy 😝 But seriously now. Before coming to realise that I'm autistic, I used to think that I was just a wimp that likes to complain about things like hot weather. Heat and the very bright summer...

    Did discovering what stims are change your attitude about them?

    What I mean is: After discovering that "those little habits you always had" are actually stims, do you still try to conceal them, or do you feel more free to just let go and stim away? I've noticed that after discovering that my annoying (to others) little habits are in fact a part of me...

    Don't know how to think about this

    I disclosed to one of my aunts and 3 friends that I might be autistic. My Psychiatrist said I probably am, but I still want the official diagnosis. Anyway. I talk to this aunt quite often, and recently have caught her looking at me with what can only be described as pity. The way she talks...

    Hate feeling sick

    I'm just venting. I hate it that I always get sick when I have time off, and I basically hate summer! I started my first holiday in years, and almost immediately got sick. This heat wave is making it harder to breath. The air feels thicker, my lungs are complaining about it, I have had a...

    Part of a team

    I always dreamt of being part of a tight-knit group of friends. My ideal was the old 70s tv show The Famous Five, four kids and a dog. In my mind, that was perfection. Of course, I was never able to fit in, so that sense of belonging was never realised. Even in my family I was the odd one...
