Usually 1-4 times a week usually at most all depends on my appts. or whatever and Dylan's.

Usually leave the house to go to Dylan's speech therapy sessions at the clinic at the hospital every 2 wks and physiotherapy at the hospital for me every 1-2 wks. We may also go out sometimes an extra time a week if we need to see the dr. for some reason which isn't all that often when we're at home as we deal more with the children's hospital 3 hrs away for most things. We also usually go out one night to go grocery shopping.

I end up going out more often while at my parents when I stay with them and the boys up there to do appts. at the children's hospital than I ever do at home.

probably about 3 or 4 times a day.

Not that I don't want to, but sometimes I can't be bothered and only leave like once a day. There isn't much to do in this town.

When it's the working year I leave usually at least twice a day.

I leave the house about seventeen times a week. I like to take my Dog for walks, I work out at the Gym down the street from where I live, and than I'll walk down to the Grocery Store down the other end of my Street to buy a Scratch n Win.

I leave the house once a day to go to college, if I don't have college or work I tend not to leave the house. I have no reason or desire too.

I leave the house to go to work - and I walk my cats in the morning, but I don't consider that really leaving sine we are just outside of the house . . . sometimes in the back yard depending on where they want to go . . .
But if I don't run out of food or anything I can easily not leave the house when I don't go to work . . . I have all my workout machary at home and TiVo - so I can't think of a good reason I would chose to leave the house in the first place . . .

On my days off I usually have to go get cat food and some food for myself so I have to leave at least once - but I try to leave my second day off so I don't have to leave at all . . .

When I have to. If I have no NEED to leave the house (activities for the kids, appointments) then I prefer to stay put. I never just leave the house, go shopping, go for a drive, etc. simply because I am bored or want something to do.

I only leave the house when I need to.
But, I schedule play-dates for my son so that he'll get social interaction. He also has speech therapy and different activities at the community centre.
If it weren't for Baby J, I doubt I'd leave the house.

EDIT: in the summer I'll go out specifically so I can take pics of bees and other insects. I do that on my own.

Well, I go to school every day, then I go to swim practice, then I go home, do homework, watch STAR TREK: TNG and then go to bed

Repeat Mon-Friday.
Saturday-1 time, bike ride/walk
Sunday- outing to grocery store, bike ride/walk, out to church, then back home.

The only time this varies is if I have a lunch group meeting or something...which are usually fun becaus my friends are cool. ;^) They are very accepting of my aspie-ness. ;^)

I leave for work. I leave on saturdays for shopping. I dont really "go" anywhere, but this is either because I dont want to hang out with people or my interests don't require 'travel.'

I get outside enough.

Usually once per day.
It's not good to be couped up all day. You should get some fresh air every day, even if it is only a ten minute walk. I usually feel better afterwards.

When I'm lucky enough to have a job, 5 days a week. No luck in finding work right now, so maybe once in a week, for groceries and whatever. I've become pretty agoraphobic in the past couple of years.
