Got Anything Random To Say

I thought I was seeing things then

It's raining in one half of the window and not raining in the other side

I can see it through the mirror

Sonny next door neighbour will think it's hammering down but it's not

That's nuts

Best guess, they're inconsiderate. But I still don't know what it was in aid of. They did it once before when I was at Walmart. The water had been shut off because the reservoir pump had frozen, and they came in to turn all the taps on to flush air out of the pipes. As a result, the hot water softened the plastic in the U-bend under the sink and it came off and filled the cupboard with dirty water. Then the cat escaped through a hole behind the U bend while I was frantically trying to mop up the mess. You couldn't make this stuff up could you? A bit of respect for tenant privacy on their part would have saved me from all that crap. The cat came back after an hour or two, so I'm only going to break one of the landlord's legs instead of two when I'm president

Yeah it'd be comical if it wasn't true

I'm glad the cat came back

I swear autism can cause a fast metabolism because I feel it makes the brain work extra harder so you burn more calories than a typical person! It makes sense too because being autistic can use a lot of mental energy trying to mask and fit in in a nuerotypical society! I'm around other autistic people all the dang time and I notice that there are more skinny autistic people than skinny nuerotypical people! I truly believe that if your skinny then you should get tested for autism just in case! This is not just genetics! I know other skinny autistic people like you that have the same habits and the rest of the family is not as skinny as them! I swear it's the autism that causes you to be skinny like this than genetics!

My mouth tastes like an old shoe after having had a coffee machine coffee on my way home today.

I enjoyed the coffee but this after taste leaves a lot to be desired.

How do you know what an old shoe tastes like?

It's nuts when you have your headphones on but the sound sounds like it's coming from over there still

I keep having to take one ear off to make sure it is my headphones I'm hearing it through

Headphones are supposed to make the sound seem like it comes from the space between your ears, but I know they can make special recordings that make it come from all kinds of other places outside your head. I listened to one once, and some bits of it worked, others didn't. I don't know why ordinary music would do that kind of thing on its own.

In not complaining about it
I just wondered if it was normal

Just found out it was the landlord calling to do an inspection. Even in Arkansas they're legally obliged to give notice for that, but they didn't. They're not supposed to let themselves in either. Cheeky gets.

I'd say it was a bit unusual, but funny things like that can happen, and we might find out more if people post to say whether or not it's ever happened to them. In my case the sound always seemed to come from between my ears, except with those special recordings.

Mine really is mostly genetics.
My mom's not an ND, and she can pass for someone in their 40s. She's almost 60.
None of her aunts, uncles, cousins, siblings, my cousins through them are overweight.

My father's the opposite. His side of the family are cursed with metabolic issues ranging from PCOS to diabetes.
Also a lot of them have the same stress eating stuff, they're just forced to be mindful because they're gaining more weight than losing to a point that a good portion of them are at least slightly on the overweight side until they're too ill to do it.


So I got my mom's good genes and my father's stupid sensitive metabolism.
And thus supposedly mom's healthier subset that likely made to enable my dad's unhealthier crap at the same time.

Thus -- I can look skinnier, and yet unhealthier underneath because unlike my too self conscious cousins, I wasn't forced to be mindful in fear of gaining weight.

And the autism?
Autism is either an enabler or a restrictor. Regardless it just amplifies both for me.

At best, it's what made me not drink and smoke like the rest of my paternal side of the family out of sheer sensory aversion -- at worst, it adopted my eating habits into stimming.

I don't put autism as an active player for my own physical state and more onto my perception, cognition and sensory aspects of processing everything.


Lastly, my biggest stressor and energy drainer isn't the common plagues of anxiety or wonderment of special interest, equally in overthinking in the brain.
It's this curse of relentless disruption of screwed breathing, sneezing and sniffling all day and year long that it didn't matter what I did or did not do.

Tho I'm at a progress where this crap will be soon remain just another habit I need to kill because I got lucky and found a way to make it manageable more or less 2 months ago.


But sure.
I've seen other autistics; but the rates of them being skinny or fat isn't that too different from the rates I've seen outside of being an ND.

And they're really are following through what their parents have and doing.
Also I'm outside the US. Rates are very different here.

I once had a dream that it was raining inside the kitchen.

I should find a good disaster movie to watch

Have you seen Dante's Peak?
