The Last Thing That Made You Smile

This made me smile as I do enjoy these kind of images:

Reading an affirmation online,

"Whatever you'd like to do well,
Do it with the confidence of a four year old who's wearing a Batman T shirt & cape"
 
It's been a while since I've read any sites regarding autism, asides from this forum. One site mentioned a symptom I hadn't read before - a sensitivity to anomalies. The example it used was cracks in walls.

For some reason this made me smile, as it struck a chord with me. I suppose it's part of seeing patterns in things - and something that is different from said pattern, such as a crack in a wall or brickwork seems to stand out like a sore thumb.

There's also something unnerving about these cracks. I suppose it triggers feelings of a lack of safety. Some form of structural decay/instability along with fear of the dark. As wide cracks are usually completely black and I think it triggers a fear of the unknown too.

Seems strange to laugh when reading about a symptom that tends to trigger worry. I think it's just enjoyable to feel more understood when I read about autism behaviours.

If you're easily upset by gassy bodily functions, read no further.



Watching a one year old surprise himself at the volume and force of his own burp,
then laugh uncontrollably because of it.
 
Buying some chocolate chip cookie dough and discovering that it's now advertised on the packaging that you can safely eat raw dough or bake it into cookies. :)

LOL...never thought that day would come! o_O

Getting a Secret Santa gift from a friend of a cook who works at my aunt's bar. It's six pairs of socks that look like cat paws.
 
My ex-FIL found my ornaments that I left at my ex's house and mailed them to me. One of them was my " first Xmas" baby booties that I got from my grandmother
 
The way my cat stretches his paws out in front of him and then pulls them back and curls them over his eyes. :catface:
 
I don't think I have felt this way in a looooong time; I'm so happy right now, I got an email from my university's professor with the official date and hour I have to give an oral defense of my graduation project; it may not be the graduation date, but after 10 years struggling, crying, and a lot of experiences; only 1 month until I present my final test.

10 years of electronic engineering and I'm so so close right now; just 1 more month of hard work =''''''DDD
