I'll keep that in mind. Thank you.

The way I incorporate exercise into my routine is relatively simple: I go for a walk about an hour or so after having lunch if I'm not out doing my exercising somewhere else. If I don't manage to get my exercise in during the day I often like to go out in the evening. The visibility is poorer but it's nice to see the lights outside. I've never had any trouble at night either. I guess it's just a case of picking your times carefully.

I have been for a long walk today as a matter of fact. I spent what must have been about three hours or so walking around two towns on the Fylde coast. When I got back I was so tired I had to sleep for an hour or so though. How strange.

I think it's more to do with the medication I am on rather than the lack of exercise or anything like that. As I say I went out today and when I came back I was absolutely exhausted! Decent food and exercise is a given for pretty much everyone though and is sound advice.

I have a few ideas that might stir the blood. I think that letter-writing would perhaps be a good way to go. I don't see how having another letter writer in the family could be a bad thing. I need to hone my skills though as I don't feel that my skills are up to standard for the job at the moment. I don't want to be facing an enemy with a blunt stick after all!



I don't like the look of neon. It reads 'tacky' to me. When I see neon on a bar I think to myself that the dickhead quota might be a bit high and I should look elsewhere for a drink. Perhaps a feature of being an Aspie?



Pretty much, yes. I won't go into the city by myself though. I don't quite have the confidence to work out where I'm going. I guess it's the lack of practical street knowledge (and independence skills) that tends to worry me about later in life. But me and mum have had a tête-à-tête about this subject.



It's not so much about me being the big, popular chap with friends. That kind of role never really appealed to me, in part because I doubt I could ever truly pull it off successfully. And I know that if I did put in that tremendous effort required to succeed it would probably cannibalise my true character in the process.



Thank you for the advice.

I'm a letter writer too.



I think bright lights in general are bothersome to aspies.
But the tackiness of the neon was what I was trying to convey. Life, between quotes, "", tacky.



Do you mean leave your small town for the nearby city? Or do you mean go into town by yourself? Cauz I was gonna suggest that you make it part of your routine (weather permitting of course) to have daily constitutionals and go just a bit further every day.



Undoubtedly. I wouldn't recommend it. But don't confuse "succeed" with "finding contentedness".... succeed is an operative word and it's different for everyone.

Have you considered photography? It's very stimmy to me and has actually given me reason to go beyond my normal boundaries.

Yup, know exactly what you mean. Neon is tacky.

I meant to go from my small local town to the nearby city. It takes a twenty minute bus ride to get into the city centre you see and finding my way to the bus stop tends to confuse me a little.

I try to use it to develop my social skills but I find that I'm not always quite ready for that part (the parts to do with dealing with the general public as they frighten me) yet.
