    Hello, Please don't fear math. My undergraduate minor was in math and I went on to study group theory whilst studying molecular spectroscopy. Math and music seem to go together. I prefer music!

    Let's Talk about Stimming

    As a scientist/musician I find it pretty easy to get away with rhythmically using hands or feet, whistling and humming and having it regarded as a musician's habit as opposed to stimming.

    advice for getting child to clean room

    You are doing just the right thing. Those of us who are on spectrum need good habits which are reinforced by regular repetition. You may be instilling things which will become part of his routine. Be sure to smile and praise him as he does his work. Be patient.

    What do you do to clear your head?

    anything can help that brings order or inner peace. For me it could be washing dishes, working on a Bach partita on my piano, soaking in a hot tub, spreading love with my therapy dog or just finding a reason to smile
