    How to deal with losing a special interest that others don`t want you to let go?

    Welcome back, It does indeed manage my ability to do things. But not completely to the point that I cannot let it go when I know something important really needs to be done. So for example. At work. I`m a janitor at a highschool, and also do the reproductive work. So copying and printing of...

    How to deal with losing a special interest that others don`t want you to let go?

    @monkeyclogs Hey, no problem at all. That list is very recognisable. So first of. It always feels like I need to have an intense focus or interest in something. I want to reseaurch that thing and want to know everything about it. If I don`t find anything when the previous thing is 'finished' I...

    How to deal with losing a special interest that others don`t want you to let go?

    Thnx, was really interesting to read! With what you said and what was said earlier in these posts I have kind of found a middle road. The whisky cabinet stays. But where I wanted to fill it up with rare and interesting whisky's (which would have cost me a lot of money) I`m now fine with willing...

    Realizing you're autistic, how'd you react?

    not directly related to your post, but.... Assuming the guy in your picture is your partner. What a nice picture of the two of you. You seem so happy together! (Maybe you have had that picture for a while, but I only recently came back to the forums.)

    What video game are you currently playing?

    Recently started getting back into wow when I saw the announcement for TBC anniversary. Still want to play FFVII, but want to get a proper gaming pc before diving into all the games I missed out on that were on playstation and not xbox in the last 10+ years.

    Realizing you're autistic, how'd you react?

    It was quite funny actually. I was looking into autism because of my son. Who seemed to have some of the more well known signs at quite a young age. Then my father told me he had been diagnosed about a year prior. So I started to also look into autism in adults and being undiagnosed until...

    Anyone else walk on their toes?

    I do it, but not all the time. One example is, I start walking on my toes if I need to lift and move something heavy at work that is a two man job. I seems counter productive, but it happens naturally. I rarely do it when I`m relaxed. But looking at how my shoes seem to wear down way quicker...

    How to deal with losing a special interest that others don`t want you to let go?

    Thank you all! @Mary Terry , I have. But maybe I should do so again, but more clearly. Since I told her the day (or 2) after the big whisky event she might think it will come back and that it was more of a 'burn-out' from being so hyped about it beforehand. @Hypnalis , She is. And I am very...

    How to deal with losing a special interest that others don`t want you to let go?

    Thank you for sharing your story. It was a really fun read. It is very cool you created your own whisky! For me it is not so much that I am done with alcohol. I still think I will enjoy my glass on wednesday evening (after a 12 hour shift) and 2 glasses on either friday or saterday. For me it is...

    How to deal with losing a special interest that others don`t want you to let go?

    Going to drop this little story/question here because I think people who are quite similar to me might have experiences this in the past and might give me some insight. So, special interests or intense interests you are no longer that interested in are very common for me. There are things...

    Tips and insight for a laptop we are going to buy my daughter

    Thank you both for your insight It is fine if she plays the Sims 4 on lower settings as long as it is on 1080p @ about 60fps. Everything on low is fine. She mostly plays starstable and Roblox anyways. But it would be nice if she could play the Sims on her own system. I was leaning to the...

    Tips and insight for a laptop we are going to buy my daughter

    Hi, I have been looking around with this question but most answers seem to come from people who all think everyone needs a super computer. I figured there might be some tech savy people around here. I am not completely unfamiliar with computers and what does what in a system. So before I start...

    Pokemon Nuzlockes

    I tried a couple in the past. But I do often do a lite version of them. Like randomized encounters and only being able to catch the first pokemon. But often do not box the pokemon when they are fainted. Did do that ones or twice but it often takes the fun out of it for me. For me it is mostly...
