I’d like to be able to persuade people better.

Same question.

I'd like to be good at conversation.

Sam Q (from amykitten: What is a skill you would like to have?)

The ability to improve my social skills.

Can you remember your dreams well enough?

about every 4 days on average. i don't know enough to know if some part of my dreams are hiding a deeper reality from my conscious mind or not.

same q.

I don't remember most parts of my dreams.

Do large dogs scare you or make you uncomfortable?

depends on the dog.

same q.

Sizes of dogs doesn't bother me. Hyperactive behaviors regardless of dog's size, however...


Do you need or prefer additional stimuli (music/reading/etc.) while exercising?

Gained Number Post Count (1).

Not really..


Do you feel it's absurd; how, sometimes people tend to think all autistic persons care capable of doing same things/accomplishments as one another?

Perhaps not absurd, rather they just don't know. Not everyone has experience dealing with autistic people.

Once international travel opens up, would you like to travel somewhere overseas? If so, where?

I'm off to Lapland this Christmas. Then a road trip to Turkey next summer, didn’t want to risk this summer. So besides those two preplanned trips I guess I would like to travel to Canada I guess as Christmas 2022 would be next and I love snow.

Are any of your family also on the spectrum (diagnosed or suspected)

My aunt( on dad's side) and my great-grandfather(mom's side) were suspected as being on the spectrum; as this was before Asperger Syndrome was officially added to the list as far back as the later 1900's and mid 1940's respectively speaking.


Do you tend to hold on to certain items for sentimental reasons?

It's quite unlikely you'll find snow in Canada at Christmas, depending which part you visit. ^

My daughter is diagnosed ASD but is significantly higher functioning in most areas than I am, according to her test scores but also her daily adaptive skills.

My brother is almost certainly classic "Aspergers" but he has never been tested.

My dad and all the men on his side including my granddad were almost certainly on the spectrum as well, but they've passed away so I'll never know for sure. My paternal grandfather suffered a lot from his differences and eventually took his own life. My mother might be, but if so she presents in a completely opposite manner than I do. She's in her 80s so she won't be tested.

Sentimental: Anything and everything from childhood, yes. I'm less sentimental about things related to my adulthood or to relationships.

same question

Well, I have a small handful of items; which, were my older brother's as he passed away several decades, and often feel a sense of remembrance.



Do you enjoy walking; that is, as long as your able to do so?

Yes

If you like riding bicycles, how long have you owned your bike for?

I got my first bike when I was eight, and then several more throughout my life including two mountain bikes, one titanium and one alloy. I did a lot of mountain-biking for about ten years. I haven't ridden a bike since my big stroke six years ago and I miss it. I don't have my bikes anymore, but I used to use my daughter's road bike when I could.

same question

I don't own a bike now. I wish I could ride into work----but it's too dangerous.

I learned to ride at age 7 1/2, on a red one-speed. Then, I got an orange three-speed when I was 9.


Same question.
