    Calming Music For Aspies

    Not really to my taste. I find more energetic music to be soothing. I lose myself in the repeating patterns as they wash over me.

    My Dad does not believe I’m on the spectrum

    That settles it. If a doctor signs off, it's official and anyone who thinks differently... ...needs a cuppa. ;)

    Nope. Nekkid and careful to make sure it wasn't in the reflection on the glass surface of the scale. ;)
