Not sure. I like walking on the firm wet sand next to water, but hate when it sticks to me. I always want to shower afterward.

Are you an early riser or do you prefer to sleep in late?

It depends on several factors. Mainly what time I went to bed, how tired I am and what I am doing that day. I sleep the average 6-8 hours daily though if that helps and can go to bed between 9pm-3am depending what I'm doing the next day. So if I know I got uni at 9am it's more likely I will be up at 6-7am. I have never slept in until noon though.

What flavour of ben and Jerry's do you normally go for?

I've never had Ben and Jerry's. There are a lot of things I never had.

Do you wish to live in the society or do you want to do your own thing?

I want to reject society and return to monke.

Are you an even-tempered person, or do you easily lose your composure?

Depends. I guess that in itself is revealing. But I do like to believe that I'm even-tempered.

Do you like pickles (pickled cucumbers), and do you prefer them by themselves or in something? Any other pickled things you like?

I like pickles. I don't think there's any specific dish that I prefer them in.
I also don't know if sauerkraut counts because it's fermented, not pickled, but I like it.

Do you like sauerkraut?

I do like sauerkraut. My grandma makes it at home, in fact we've got a bucket of it fermenting right now. She adds grapes or cranberries to the mix. I like it by itself, or made into a salad and tossed with oil and onions, or as some variety of sauerkraut soup.

Do you believe the stereotype that us folks with AS and ASD have that much of a severe sensitivity to food texture, more than any other random NT?

Yes as I was reading studies done on it. It's about 20% more if I recall off the top of my head. So not loads but noticable. However, there are exceptions to all rules of course and some will eat everything.

What do you find is the most annoying accent?

Off the top of my head, probably Portuguese. It's way too thick and coarse. I prefer softer pronunciation.

If you could have some property of an animal (such as some ability, adaptation, or a limb), what would it be?

I'd want the ability to climb trees easily like orangutans and chimpanzees can.

Are you more hypersensitive or hyposensitive, or do you have no sensory problems at all?

I'm more hyper than hypo, especially when it comes to noise and emotional charge in the air. (I know that sounds like a weird term, but believe me I can feel it.)
Same question

Hyper. I was a toewalking child. All of my senses are elevated (including light and sound), though I can briefly tolerate just about anything if I really have to, but exposure to intense sensory experiences wears me down.

Do you consume meat, and what are you thoughts on humane treatment of animals in regards to food in modern times?

I eat meat, but I've been eating less and less of it. I'm becoming increasingly uncomfortable with the way the animals are treated and with the working conditions of people at those farms and slaughterhouses.

Same question.

I do eat meat. I don't judge anyone for the choices they make in their diet but I do think that animal fats in particular are an essential part of the diet my body has evolved to run on and I do worry that these are absent from non-animal diets. I don't believe it is healthy. This one point is also why I don't really think meat-substitute or lab-grown meats will be a solution to anything because they only seem to concentrate on proteins.

I do not buy supermarket meats, I get all my meat locally and it's grass fed/free range/outdoor raised. I can tell you which farm it came from and I know their practices are as ethical as raising an animal for slaughter can be. I care a lot about what goes in my body and I do care that the animals I eat have as decent a life as possible.

Anyway, I can go on and on about diet.

How far can you run before you have to stop?

I don't know as I generally have no need to run to find out, plus I'm not going outside in a storm to find out.

Do you prefer rain or snow?

I think I'll have to go with rain. I like snowy scenes, but rain is just less messy and troublesome. I also don't have to dress warm. If it's not cold I pretty much just ignore rain. I also don't mind driving in the rain, it's not problem for me at all.

Do you go grocery shopping yourself, and if so, how often?
