I didn't like sitting through state exams. I always took a long time to finish because I process things slowly, and I hated having to try to force myself to focus for a couple hours.

Did you get good grades in school?

Ice-cream
Cookies and cream ( Ben n Jerrys, Haagan Daaz etc )

Regular flavours
Vanilla
Mint
Strawberry
Chocolate
In that order

Twist. Like Chubby Checker? lol nah, I'm not really a dancer, not that i'm uncoordinated, as far as ASD traits go I'm kinda unscathed in a lot of areas. Physically, I'm borderline NT. No clumsiness. No strong sensitivities. But STILL enough personality factors to be considered on the spectrum.

10 minute Mile. Never tried. I doubt it. I would get winded after a minute or two. lol. I would have to train for it.

Pushups. I don't know 20 maybe.Full range of motion pushups. Not cheat pushups. I'm generally lazy , but if I were to do calisthenics, everyday, body quickly adapts, if you become more active. Reps go up. Conditioning improves.

Exams. No, I didn't enjoy it. Who does? Yeah I got good grades.

If you could go back in time like Marty Mcfly in his Delorean, or Bill and Ted in their phonebox, or H.G Wells (was that forward only? or backwards too hmmmn) What century, decade, era, would you choose?

(Hero of Hyrule): Yes, I was pretty good at most subjects, and excelled in two or three. However, in the subjects I disliked, or more often, disliked the teacher, I deservedly got poor grades, as I made little effort and sometimes annoyed the teachers.

Would you ever want to be a teacher?

I actually would really like to become an elementary school teacher.

Same question.

I've taught. Never again.


Is your foot the same length as your wrist - elbow length?

(Hero of Hyrule): I actually was a teacher (11-18 year olds) for 20 years. I was hopeless at it to begin with, as I wasn't intending to do it long term and hadn't put any thought into how to go about it. I really should have been sacked. Then I got to grips with it, and was really good at it for a decade or so. Eventually I got disillusioned with various aspects of the job, experienced 'burnout', and resigned at the age of 43. I haven't worked full-time since then.

(Isabella): Er, I don't think so....EDIT: Actually, I've just done some measuring, and they seem to be just about the same length. That surprised me!

Do you like 'authority figures'?

Teacher. I have a relative who was going to be one , but dropped out. (incidentally, could be on the spectrum, I suspect so. But diagnosed.)

Foot. My limb is slightly longer. Kinda personal question. How long our body parts are? lol next you'll be asking how many Inches this or that is.

Anybody gonna answer my freakin question? Or did my wall of text blind you all. I would go back in Time to the 1960's. Just cause they had so many great bands. And it was wild time to live. No I dont like authorities figures. A good reason to go back to the revolutionary 60's. I'm on Timothy Learys side. Not J. Edgar Hoovers.

(Isabella): I have difficulty taking authority figures seriously. I've always seen them as essentially ludicrous. However, I've sometimes been intimidated by them.

(theprisoner): Probably the 1950s.

What sort of income can you comfortably live on?

I don't require much or care for much in terms of material possessions. I'm not a big spender. I live comfortable, if not luxuriously. I'm pragmatic. I have thousands of pounds worth of physical items/assets, just not thousands in the bank. Apparent if you have more than 5 grand in savings, you're richer than half the world anyway.

My income is around £14,000 per annum. That's more than enough to cover my lifestyle. I could just about get by on around £9,000 if I had to. But if we get serious inflation over the next couple of years and beyond, it could all look very different....

Do you buy a lot of things online?

Yes

I don't buy a lot of "things" in general, but what I do buy is online (groceries, etc)

same q

I use Amazon. But generally No, I don't buy alot of things online. I've had a relative declare themselves bankrupt, because of compulsive shopping. I'm literally the anthesis of that. Buying physical objects doesn't really interest me. Unless for utilitarian means. If it's Absolute necessary. Like something breaks and needs to be replaced. I find shopping aggravating and tiresome.

same q

I was buying a lot online until about 6 months ago, including lots of ancient laptops, which had become an obsession of mine, but recently very little. I always buy food and drink in the supermarket, and do so on a daily basis.

Do you like DIY in the house?

I DIY everything.
Inside and out.
