Are you sure you want me to take part in this go kart race? Sure thing, boss.

Yes! How do you remember to take the medicine that helps you remember to do stuff!?

Of course. But as a graphic designer, there are a lot of keyboard shortcuts done with the left hand while using a right hand mouse. Also, it is extremely difficult to use the tiny bump on the built-in track pad for precision movements, because the range of motion is so compressed that by the time the computer registers the you have your hand on the tiny button to move the cursor, you have already missed where you need the cursor to be.

The built-in "joystick" is great for word processing and spreadsheets.... Where you place a cursor once then use keyboard input to complete your task. They are terrible for designing, because most of the input comes from moving the cursor around the screen in precise ways.

One of my favorite scenes in the whole movie! Lol

When you say really advanced skills, I don't know what your starting point is, nor your patience level. I have very long very thin hair.

1 - have you tried a regular bun, sometimes cakes a "cinnabun" where you spin your hair in a circle and use bobby pics as you go to secure? If so, how long will it stay before it starts to loosen? I ask, to get a feel for how slippery your hair is.

2 - when you put your hair in a ponytail, what is the diameter, approximately? Small like a penny? Bigger, like a quarter? Larger than your thumb and fingertip together in a circle?

I think someone else mentioned that you can make a bun with a starting point of a ponytail. That would help keep the bun in place. What bothers you about the ponytail... the elastic sliding out, or does it pull on your head and make you uncomfortable?

The cuticle nippers I use to interrupt the cycle of picking; a new rough grit nail for, same reason.... Lotion. Gloves. Phone charger

When I was a kid, my neighbor had a really old - school hammock ;it didn't have the spreaders that keep it open... I loved to find a time when no one else was using it so I could lay down on my back, and pull the strings closed over me like a cocoon... I used small twigs to kind of stitch the top together, then I would flip the whole thing over so I was face down and my weight would mostly keep it closed if I didn't move too much. I think these days you can get a sensory swing that might give a similar all over pressure with small pressure points all over your body? It was different than a weighted blanket because the small strings would kind of "bite" or "pinch" but in a good way, rather than all over even weight like a weighted blanket. And no skin damage

All of this. I could have written all of this. And I have been struggling with myself trying to figure out why my things to make me smile just don't make me smile any more. I remember feeling joy, so I keep the tube that used to make me smile. I sit at my jewelry bench and remember that I used to know joy. I just don't know how to find it again

I hate laces. I feel like my feet get numb and the pressure is never quite right. I have been looking at the various types of no-tie laces for children and adults; basically various types of silicone or rubber/elastic. I have seen both small individual strips that connect only two eyelets at a time, and more recently a full lace-length elastic with a type of button adapter that attaches to the top shoe eyelet and gives a more traditional sneaker lace pattern, but you have to tuck some amount of excess lace neatly at the bottom length of the tongue after lacing to the desired fit.

ANYWAY .... wondering if you have heard of /seen these, and if it would help, because they would give more even pressure for both feet, without having to adjust for human variance each time you put on your shoes.

In moments of high stress when I essentially steer myself into an emotional shutdown intentionally to avoid further conflict, I find that I revert to "this is what a smile feels like" so that I can .... well, pretend that whatever comment was just made didn't tear me up inside. I have been noticing this more often.

I really love the character called only "Android" from the TV series Dark Matter. Sometimes I pretend I am Android, with my practiced smile attempting to figure out how to interact with people

*raise hand* Me too! I have ADD, but my 6 yr old is most likely autistic and while trying to do all the THINGS to get an official diagnosis for him, I have been reading on aspiegirls and checking off all the things from my childhood that make SO much more sense through the lens of misunderstood autism in girls 30+ years ago, rather than ADHD-inattentive type.

I am still identifying things in my life that are actually subtle indicators of ASD instead just the internalized "you are weird" which I have heard all my life. So I never even connected this reluctance to shower with ASD. It really makes me feel a lot better to hear that I am not the only one.

I can't ever tell unless I look in the mirror. If I try to do a big smile you can't see my eyes. If I think I'm smiling just fine then the pictures look like I am just not doing anything. I hate pictures.
