    Bogus Study? What Do You Think?

    my undergrad had a mandatory text. How to lie with statistics. When looking at surveys and comments based on surveys I often look for the surveys research parameters and base data. Sometimes the number of people surveyed can be a low as 10!

    List just one thing you did today

    I needed to deal with my brothers car. It’s in good condition, I didn’t have the spoons to sell it. So I gave it to someone in desperate need. ( for a small sum to create a legal contract.) I also did heaps of music practice, A great day

    Eye Contact

    Eye contact? I’d rather not but have trained myself to do it to look more normal. Depending on the person it’s usually ok. If im distressd then no eye contact, The distance is Irrelevant to me.

    Half way thru, how is this year going?

    It’s been a better year. No hospital stays, 7 months since the last one. Moved to a more appropriate house. More comfortable with my autism. Cut all contact with my dangerous drug affected son. So this year has been better, safer. A year of more contentment and improved self respect.

    Do any of you have trouble making friends not online but in everywhere real life?

    After some persistent work I have some friends. One of my rabbit holes is music. So i’ve found some friends there. Have some sort of online friends. Communication online I find difficult, I need quality feedback. Online doesn’t provide this for me. So online increases my anxiety.

    Meltdowns and art therapy.

    This is some wire work I completed when considering past meltdowns. At the time of a meltdown it feels like my world explodes and nothing will ever be the same. Some things do change. My last meltdown was at a family Christmas dinner 😣. Not great. My little art reflection helped me understand...
