    I would trade it all

    So there are a number of issues that potentially crop up in any relationships as they get started - different goals for the relationship, commitment not meaning the same to people, sex not having the same meaning, different paces for wanting a relationship to develop etc etc. Other people may...

    Vegetarianism

    Also vegan here, but I prefer to call it a plant based diet. Health and climate reasons but also ethical/animal welfare aspects. I am lucky in that for me it was similar to Ken - loads more energy and strength. I do have to make sure to eat enough calories as I lose weight easily - but that's...

    Participants needed for study

    @Forest Cat - yes, I think we have some spectacular landscapes here in Switzerland. As do many other places :-) often I also like the quiet, simple natural spaces - country roads past natural hedges or the like, doesnt have to be an Insta worthy shot all the time, if you know what I mean.

    Participants needed for study

    One of my first memories as a kid of maybe 3....falling out of a tree *lol* didnt put a dent in me or my infatuation with nature

    Participants needed for study

    Hi! Interesting thinking about how being in nature works for those on the spectrum. For me it is an absolute elixir that I need for at least a couple of hours every day, otherwise my spoons are toast until I immerse in nature again. Apart from wind I never experience sensory overload when in...

    Introduction, an adult questioning their neurodiversity

    Hi there @UncertainAdult and welcome to the forum! I have found it to be a safe place to hang out and bring up topics that may cause one uncertainty in RL. Its been mentioned before, but female presentation of ASD and ADHD is often somewhat different to that of males (for various reasons on many...

    What Are Your Clothing Quirks?

    @Amy Stone - ditto on everything (especially the vest!) but the socks, I'm with @LadyS on that one! Barefoot only (but then as much as I can) when temps exceed 25deg c. @Progster - womens clothes and pockets - right? sometimes they will even have a pretend pocket which is no use at all. Very...

    Do you space-out when discussing detailed things in conversations?

    I think I know what you mean and, yes, when I get into a topic I lose awareness of stuff around me and the topic and its details fill my consciousness. I stop seeing the "real" world around me and just "see" the topic. However, others dont seem to become as aware of this effect as I do as I...

    Don't Be Shy To Introduce Yourself

    Hi @Dennis S What is it you find specially bewildering? I just find its a lot - a lot of threads and forums and sub forums. So what I do is I just click on the words "new posts" on the far right in the black banner at the top and then click on a title I find interesting and start reading...

    Women on the spectrum

    Hmmmm.....while I agree with much that the OP writes in the opening post, my experience (and answer) is no. I have not experienced relationships as a special interest despite long having the desire to be in one. I am currently in a 10yr relationship. I have always had my primary special...
