@BoredStupid Pretty sure my wife and I are a bit too. A lot of things make sense through that lens, but I'm glad that I'm me. You should volunteer for one of these groups. People need to hear these recipes for success from real people that they know.
@BoredStupid They're not, but as one who knew nothing about autism, I can clearly see the behavioral patterns in almost everyone to a degree, now that I know what to look for. They are very specific and not like a stutter or inability to pay attention. Defining oneself as a victim is never good and leads to stagnation instead of growth. There is a slight danger of that in these groups, but from what I've seen, they are good resources for families dealing with ASD. Someone with ASD has a much greater chance of living a fulfilling life nowadays than in times past. They used to just lock them up or not give them the chance to succeed or fail.
@BoredStupid I think people with level 1 struggle very much with communication and it is a huge handicap. They can get better at it through intense training and effort (sometimes), but it is never natural for them. Subtle cues, humor, sarcasm, innuendo, etc. just go whoosh. My dogs and I communicate better than many people with ASD can with other people. Agree with you about the vaccines. Most kids begin speaking and then regress (like my daughter) after a round of them.
@Nazareno Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
@rose_myrtle I have some that are old enough to drink(21)! I need to give them a proper funeral and move on.
@eureka Hey, love your work! I've been thinking about making canvas tents lately and wanted to try a small one. My wife used to run a tack shop and, even though she did a bit of sewing, it's not her thing. Can you recommend any machines/reference materials that would be needed for these kind of stitches? I've had about an hour of experience on a small machine.
Here's an inspirational video about a lady who made the choice to improve her health by running. She couldn't run 25 seconds in the beginning. A year later, she is working on running 15 miles. The human body has the miraculous ability to repair itself if you let it.

Tell me what you think. I made an clothing outline to categorize every article of clothing (84!) that I should "need" in my current lifestyle/climate. If it doesn't fit here, it gets removed from the house. Did I miss anything obvious? Just tired of my wardrobe being some nebulous thing.

@Big_Diggity We have some of these (or something like them) at our survey shop. With all the electronic data collectors and phones these day, we do a lot less hand writing, but I keep a field book on me just in case.
