Dear all,

I hope to start this topic, hoping to glean some insight on what makes us happy/Content/motivated...
I have read through many issues and troubles we face in our little corner of society, but am hoping to also get a better feel for our common positives. As I do not often get to be in a quite so diverse company of peers as here on the forum, perhaps this could yield some insights...

I propose following format (feel free to not follow it :) )
Format:

1. help by indicating briefly your place in the spectrum:

-> For me, this would be: I'm a late (45Yo) diagnosed high masking, type 1, ASD peer of 50years old now, with no ADHD diagnosis. Dad of 3 young adults and working a specialist ICT-job.

2. After having an ideal, perfect day (whatever this entails for you), what is the dominating feeling/retrospect you would like to be left with?

-> for me, this would be a feeling of accomplishment. Yes, I'm a buy-in to meritocracy; as I have the most fond and warm memories of days or events where I was able to contribute in someway to a successful result that actually helped or boosted someone(s)

3. Feel free to fantasize, from disc-world, to strict reality, to ... What would your ideal/perfect day look like?

-> For me;
-It would start with a non alarm clock/natural awakening alone in bed.
-A big breakfast (or brunch :) ) together with my children, I have no stress or mask when being around them,
and I love hearing their view and experiences.
-Followed by in dip in the heated pool (I don't have) and drying off in the warm sun on a sunny day in the shade of
a willow tree in our garden.
-Next, together we start to tackle a big but non time-bound project (what comes to mind immediately is a new
part of the garden we wish fence of for our pet donkey (an inheritance from a farmer uncle))
-Followed again by a dip in the pool to refresh us.
-And a very lazy LAN party, where we all get to propose a game and all get played in sequence.
-After the last game of the night, a solo night walk by a shore (sea, river, lake ocean, whatever...)
-Fresh clean bedsheets to fall asleep in.

curious to see your feedback ;)

have fun
Kada
