I am a firm believer in bibliotherapy! 🤣

If someone came and offered me a treatment for my AuDHD (and associated other things), I would not take it, because the joy in the overlap between hyperfixation and monotropism is like nothing else, even if I pay for it by losing time.

But when I find someone who shares those interests?! I’m thrilled!! Very often, we’ll form deep bonds in the spotlight of that overlap, and then I will find that talking about other stuff becomes pleasant with them.

Unfortunately, this overlap makes socializing difficult, because talking to people who are not into what I’m into is often excruciatingly boring and I find it hard to mask through my indifference (shading to annoyance.)

But deep in it, it feels so good, both in the deeply satisfying way of getting something difficult right, and in the sheer joy of having fun. In fact, it’s part of why I love my job, because I get to slide out of dreary time every day for a few hours.

Whether it’s a few minutes reading a novel, several hours digging into a technical discussion in an area of interest, or months of my life writing a book, I can never remember the outside world while I’m there or afterward. Everything else seems unbearably dull, like sandpaper on my nerves.

I think of deleting my posts as a basic social media defensive strategy, like not clicking on that texted link from an unknown phone number

oh, no, the applesauce is a side, like the coleslaw. It goes well, I promise! LOL
Hominy is how you get the nutrition from corn and avoid pellagra (niacin deficiency). Indigenous people treated corn with alkali to do this, and the whole process is nixtamalization. You get these big fluffy kernels:

Always interesting to see what translates across the English speaking world!!
Sloppy joes are a minced meat in a flavored sauce, traditionally served for school lunches. White chicken chili is a chicken stew with hominy, white beans, and New Mexico chiles. We're freezing, so I wanted warm food.

Nowadays they give small anxious children laughing gas, and I highly approve of this development.

Good that that's all you've needed! My teeth are an expensive mess. I just try not to pass out or gag too much. Mostly, I succeed.

Extremely valid. Although, to be fair, my optometrist is autistic friendly and does not wield metal objects, LOL.
My discomfort at the dentist is so palpable that my dentist once implied he would fire me as a patient because he couldn't stand making me so uncomfortable!

I literally can't remember the last time I got a haircut because I hate it so much. The lights, the noise, the smell, the requirement to talk to another human. I hate it all.

yeah, they won't prescribe it like that here! Fun times!

Good news: avoided slump.
Bad news: forgot to eat lunch and cooking dinner while dizzy is not recommended.
Turned out pretty nicely though, thanks to all that executive function!

I will take all the ones you want to give me! I sew, and those kinds of quality patterns are harder and harder to find. You might also donate them to a local maker space that has a sewing section, or sell them individually on ebay or etsy.
