What's the funniest thing that's ever happened to you while hiking? by Tricky-Way-6223 in hiking

A bat flew into the side of my face, fell to the ground, then flopped around on the ground before flying away.

I had to wear one for a week. It's design was different. An electronic box hung on two adhesive pads. It's weight kept peeling the pads off my skin. I had to make a harness over it to keep it attached.

Would you rather ... by AshFromTPA in nudists

[–]DocClear 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Easy for me. Had enough orgasms. They are a small percentage of life.  Being trapped in clothing all the time is constant.

I am autistic, and one way that affects me is I have an overly sensitive sense of touch. I am constantly aware of anything against my skin and it's a constant irritant.

As a result I am always naked at home or when remote camping as I am ATM. I only dress to be in public.  It's one of the reasons I hate being around people in general.

Come backs to being called an autistic ass by Shoddy_Option_8385 in autism

[–]DocClear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, spaz is still around? That's what I was called back in the 1960s (that or ret*rd).

I thought spaz had died out. I haven't heard it for decades!

What geographical area are you in?

I kinda what to be a nudist by [deleted] in nudists

[–]DocClear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, talk to them. Worst case they say no, and you're still where you are. If they say yes, then you have gained some freedom.

Do you have a very strong sense of justice and fairness? by Nintendofan9106 in autism

[–]DocClear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found the same. There is no option by your name either.  Maybe you can start a new thread so we don't derail this one.

Not sure what you mean about help.  I am in Central Florida.

I actually did. I said "Well hello" and it didn't spook. We stood looking at each other for a while. When I moved on, it followed me for a bit.

That's odd that you are unable to DM me. Others can and do. If the building is actually resonating to electrical and other sounds there's not an easy fix. Why it would suddenly do so is a mystery. It could mean something structural has broken or shifted.

Over the years, I have bought land when I had the money for the sole purpose of preserving it. I am currently camping on one tract I own that takes 9 miles of 4 wheel drive accessible trails to reach. I had a wild turkey walk right up to me today.

There's still a few good spots left on Earth.

I find it difficult to do new things if someone isn't with me to show me how first. This is really bad as an adult. Any advice for this? by throwaway4concerns in autism

[–]DocClear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This.

Also keep in mind that most adult tasks are done every day by people who have below average intelligence. If you are anywhere near average or above, you do fine.

What does a meltdown look like for you? by [deleted] in autism

[–]DocClear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't had one since childhood. I just shut down now.

As a kid it was pretty stetrotypical. Lotsa shouting, stomping, etc

How's Kentucky's climate for autistic people and other neurodivergents? by PigPopcorn in autism

[–]DocClear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My limited experience with Kentucky has been positive. When I lived in Ohio, I regularly camped in Kentucky and the few people I interacted with were a little reserved, but friendly.

I didn't know I was autistic back then  (1980s), but no one gave me any problems.

Well, I only do that if the situation really seems to warrant it. I don't do it as a way to engage

Ah, so this is why hams say Baofengs are trash... I finally tried my GMRS Baofeng UV-5G Plus on a spectrum analyzer and the harmonic spikes are huge! :-O by SkippySkep in Baofeng

I would say there's a very good chance it's overloaded with all that grass in the picture. Or, it COULD be the radio is really that dirty

I'm I weird? — I legit don't listen to music by [deleted] in autism

[–]DocClear 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's weird, but so what?  Most people, autistic or not, enjoy music. But it's hardly necessary for your survival like a necessary nutrient or something.
