    Solitude

    I guess young me, the little professor, never got that memo. I remember being a very logical little brat. When someone told me something that I knew didn't hold up logically, I had to let them know about it. I'm sure that made me extremely popular. /s

    Mom of adult son on the spectrum

    I am lying-averse. I'm sure many ND people are, but we're not clones. There are probably some very pathologically-lying NDs out there.

    I love silence even around people

    I can only appreciate silence in relative, or theoretical terms. I do like low ambient sound levels. But I have never heard silence in my life. When the environmental noise levels go down, my tinnitus does not. So I hear two high pitched tones continuously. But yes, it's nice to not have to...

    Mom of adult son on the spectrum

    We range in age from younger than your son, to senior citizens. Most of us are on the spectrum, but there are parents as well.

    Latest Bricolage...!

    McGuyver was a rank amateur. Or, more accurately, McGuyver's writers were rank amateurs. They consistently took a little knowledge and liberally misinterpreted/misapplied it to present impossible situations. In the original series, young aspie me used to get really upset with this, since I...

    The culture of lying

    Yes, so many people buying into so many delusions now. I also have difficulty with lying. While still young, I read Samuel Clemons' comment on truth vs lies. It's much easier to just tell the truth - then you don't have to keep all the lies straight. I took it to heart then, and still do. I...

    Frequency of overstimulation

    Pretty much any time I am out among people, or driving in anything but light traffic, I am overstimulated. I had built up some resistance to it when I had to work for a living. Now that I am retired and not regularly exposed to the mayhem, I find I have less resistance to it - in other words, it...

    I think I am on to a solution.

    I had to look up grey rocking. Wow. I have done hat with a couple of people without even knowing it was a thing.

    Sense of danger?

    I never worried about doing dangerous stuff as a kid. Looking back as an adult, I'm quite sure my childhood would have been very different if my parents had known half the stuff I did. I was a little professor, and actively experimented with things that frankly could have killed me. I believed...

    Physiological effects of shutdowns/meltdowns

    I feel lucky now. I only have 2 tones. The left side is a little higher pitched both around 6 KHz .

    It is weird that I don't like it when people call me "young"?

    I started going grey at 14. In my teens and 20s people frequently told me I was born 40. In childhood and teens, I mainly liked hanging out with older people. Now in my 60s, I find that of the handful of people I hang out with, only 2 are over 60. The others range from 20s - 40s (aka "kids")
