| Smell: Arriving at the optician's, there was a guy at the door warning customers that they had a problem with the drains, saying that it wasn't dangerous and that the staff had ceased to be able to smell it after a few minutes of exposure. Of course he wasn't forcing anybody to enter the place. I wa... |

| Yes, it's context-dependent for me. I've voluntarily "promised" to muck out the cat's litter tray today. I'm fairly confident I'll manage that. Didn't actually say "I promise," but I strongly implied it as a commitment, which is much the same thing. It's a very small commitment o... |

| I took a brief look at a couple of the videos on that channel. They go way too fast for me to take in, and the whizz-bangs and "bubbly" style also got in the way of my taking in the content, though one of the videos was more sober than the other. I didn't notice that they were recommending... |

Autistics have been revered, but it's usually just individuals, not the whole pack. One person, in the right place at the right time.
I guess I think of myself as both powerless and powerful. Strengths and weaknesses. |

| I did start eating healthier when I was about 40, yes. I started to panic a bit about bad diet and smoking too much. I'm scared of cancer and the horrible treatments they have for it. Wasn't too hard to fix the eating because I'd been into health food since I was a teenager and liked the taste of go... |

| It's tricky if you keep yourself to yourself a lot. I think people feel safer about people they know a bit about, and suspicious of people they don't. Hate to say it, but I think a bit of small talk seems to go a long way. It's good to reveal a bit about who you are and what you do, in small doses, ... |
