One of my favorite things in the whole world to do is swing! I love going to the parking and just swinging :heart: as high as I can go for a solid 45 mins or at least until I get to tired to swing any more. When I swing the stressful world we live in is calm. When I swing all of my problems fade away. When I swing nothing could put me in a bad mood. I probably will never know exactly why I love swinging so much but I always have and I always will! :D Do you like swinging?

I've never been able to do it – even a few seconds on a swing makes me so dizzy that I throw up or/and pass out. I'd love to be able to do it, it looks wonderfully liberating. :)

I love swinging too. I also like lying on the roundabout (if there is space) and looking at the sky spinning round. Sometimes I do those things at night if I'm on my way home from somewhere - people just presume that I am drunk.

Thinking about swings makes me wish I lived near a park again:)
I love swings, and roundabouts. I found it really difficult when I was small though, I didn't understand the body movements required to swing too well, and I mastered it a lot older than most of the other kids.

Swinging is rather amazing, too bad it's kind of emberrasing to be on the swings as a seventeen year old :(

I love swinging and other playground apparatus. Shame it's always raining where I live.

I've always liked swinging on the swings I find it quite soothing.

I still swing late at night when walking the dog. I'm not embarrassed to swing and I'm 37 years old.

My 13 year old AS son loves swinging. He has his own swing right on top of a hill with a great view. He's always happier after swinging there.

I know exactly how you feel, Kaelynn. Unfortunately, I feel uncomfortable swinging now because of my age, unless I'm with a group of younger friends who have a vague idea of how not normal I am. It also really helps me to feel relax and just let the annoying neurologically typical stuff in this world go away.

I would do it in the park - if I was less self-aware and didn't get affected by other people's opinions and reactions against me. I remember when I was at playgroup there was a park nearby, and a woman who my mum knew of used to swing back and forth on one of the swings, really high, and all the mothers used to worry about meeting their kids when she was swinging madly on the swing. I know she was probably harmless but NTs get so freaked out, and that's not what I want people to think of me.

I love to swing. When I went to middle school, I was so disappointed because there were no swings. That used to be the only reason for recess for me. I'd spent all recess swinging in elementary school. There's a park near my house where I walk my cat. Unfortunately, there are no swings. Although maybe that's a good thing. What would people think if they saw a twenty five year old playing on the swings?
