    Does anyone wear the same clothes over and over?

    Not really the same clothes, as I have a good variety of things. It's more or less the same style. Sleeveless shirt and shorts. It definitely has to do with sensory, as I feel like I can move more freely, and unlike wearing slacks and anything with sleeves (even a T-shirt or Polo), I don't...

    Fitness thread--what was your workout today?

    My new home gym! I can do almost anything I want to do in here. Just looking for a bench press setup, preferably with a leg developer attachment. I'm not a fan of dumbbell bench presses, as I find it difficult to manage a pair of heavy dumbbells while leaning back on the bench, then sitting...

    Fitness thread--what was your workout today?

    Was able to get in quite a bit of work this past week. 4 days of running, 3 days of cycling, and I started a strength training routine that I like. Upper body every other day, lower body and core on the other days. Trying not to take a "rest day" because I'll go absolutely insane if I skip a...

    Fitness thread--what was your workout today?

    Been extremely busy over the past couple of weeks to really keep my normal routine of exercising daily. Hopefully I can get back into it starting this week. 4-mile run this morning.

    Been so busy with recording this week that I hadn't had time to get in as much running as I wanted. A total of 15 miles this week, plus a bike ride tomorrow.

    Fitness thread--what was your workout today?

    Did my usual 5-mile run this morning, but I decided to try to push myself as hard as I could, but still maintain good form throughout. My normal casual time for this particular loop is around 1:06:00. Ran it today in just over 59 minutes, which goes to show that you don't really know what...

    Do you like other people with autism

    Generally, not really, but when I'm anxious, I don't like being around people in general. When I'm around certain other people with ASD, my anxiety usually goes through the roof, and I think the main trigger might be the way the other person's voice sounds: Timbre, word enunciation, repetitive...

    Fitness thread--what was your workout today?

    Today was a 20-minute HIIT workout on the stationary bike. I'm not a big fan of HIIT workouts, but I did enjoy this one. Started with 5-minutes at level 8 for a warm-up, pedaling around 75 RPM, then 2 minutes of fast pedaling (90-100 RPM) followed by 1 minute of recovery at 75 RPM. After 3...

    6-mile slow run this morning. Yesterday's race pace was 11:30/mile, slow run today was around 13:30. Another 5 miles this evening because I had more energy to burn, and I just wanted to get out! Also a 13:30/mile pace. Then, just because, a somewhat intense 20 minutes on the stationary bike

    Fitness thread--what was your workout today?

    Workout today was a 5-mile road race. Had a goal of 1 hour, finished in 58:14. Happy about that. Not happy about the fact that none of the course was blocked off from traffic. My time would have been faster if I didn't have to stress about, and deal with, cars wanting to go around me and not...

    4-mile run on Monday and today. Couldn't do my normal 5-miles due to some annoying and irritating road work on that route. Last time I ran through that mess, the flagger asked me to go to the opposite side of the road. I said no, because I was coming right up on the right-hand turn I wanted...

    4-mile run today. 5-mile race on Saturday morning, been training for a few weeks on the race course, which is located very close to where I live. That training has been put on hold due to some really annoying road construction near the end of the course. Really hoping that's all out of the...
