Thanks! But it's ok. I've got some good ear buds and can just walk away when it stinks too bad.

Loud and noisy places in general. One of the scariest parts of USMC boot camp for me was the rifle range because of the gun fire. I would stress out that my ear plugs weren't in good enough. I also remember wondering how other recruits seemed completely unbothered by it.
Gas-powered lawn equipment. Weed whackers and leaf blowers in particular. All mine are electric.
Large social groups. It's like it's too much to keep track of, too many people with differing intentions, and everyone is traveling in different directions. It's disorienting.
When I was a child, it was car a/c. For some reason, it would give me headaches. I had to travel with the windows down...except for on the expressway because it was too loud. In that case, we would turn on the a/c very lightly.
Apparently, smells. They too can be disorienting. I lose it with farts. In my mid 30s, I went on a date with a girl I had recently started dating. We were at a bar outside of a military base. While there, someone drops a hell of a fart. My completely-normal-to-me reaction was to put my shirt collar over my nose and walk around a little. My date started laughing, maybe thinking I was joking. The person farted a few more times. She made fun of me for that for years. In retrospect, I think it was her that was farting, which is why she found it so funny.
More recently, I was at a dance class a few months ago. We were practicing moves by repeating them. Someone farted at least 4 times, and it was terrible. I don't know how they had the audacity to keep farting after the first one, or how no one said anything. I was getting disoriented and messing up my moves. I was visibly upset in the mirror and so close to leaving. I'm pretty sure I know who it was, so now every time I see them, I get upset and a little nauseous. 😠🤢 I don't like being around them at all and even saying hi to them.

I am not getting on a Boeing anytime in the next few years. I rather pay more to take another flight, drive, or not even go at all.

LGBT+ are the values of a nominal variable sexuality. (maybe not the T tho). Ls are almost only going to sex with other women. If they go both ways, then they're B, not L. If they go all ways, then they're P(ansexual). So it seems like less of a spectrum, and more of a single variable. I may be wrong since Im not up on the latest in sexual identities.
While autism is a variable (levels 1-3), it's ordered, not nominal. The autism spectrum is made up of many variables that are also continuous, not discreet. And they are positively correlated. If one variable is high, it's likely others would be too. So, you can't say someone is a kind of autism anymore than levels 1-3. Beyond that, the spectrum varies way to much to typify.

Nah, I don't need to identify. That's too restrictive. I'm looking for a shorter way to describe it when asked.

Thank you! 😊 It gets more true every day. Yours is cool too. To me, it has a sense of paradox or maybe being on a different schedule than the rest of us.
They think, "Jesus was cool. I like him, and I'm gonna try to be like him." Kind of like their guiding light is what would Jesus do? But there isn't a focus on identification, recruiting others, judging others based on their religion, fear of God, fear of punishment for sinning, respect for clergy as an authority, rituals, worship, etc. Basically, just the example of Jesus' life. inb4: Christian lol!! got em!

Most of the examples I know are shows about autism specifically, but I'm looking for a more natural NT setting type of thing. Edit: Looking for a normal show in which one of the main characters are autistic, but autism is not the central focus. My brain feels like it's gunked up lately, so having trouble explaining things.

Anyone else feel like that in less than month, we might be remembering the good ol' days? If Trump wins, who knows how much he will destroy the country. If he loses, he won't calmly accept defeat. Surely, he and his flying monkeys have a plan in place already. They've had 4 years to prepare.
I had uninstalled snap a while ago. This just popped up in my update list on Discover (KDE Neon).
