    What song will you play on the loudest speakers you have access to?

    First one that comes to mind:

    Does anyone like collecting?

    I have a few collections: vinyl (both LP's and 7" singles), cassettes, jigsaw puzzles, board games, and a modest retro video game collection.

    Exercise and sports (preferably endurance sports) as a hobby/interest. Anybody else?

    Running for me. No races, though, except for maybe one local 5-miler. Longest I've ever gone was 13.5 miles in maybe 2:36:00. Even though I'm working pretty hard, it's very relaxing. I used to cycle a lot, too, until last summer. Sold my bike simply because over the last 20 years I've had...

    Songs you dislike

    Haven't been on the forum in a good long while, but... The list of songs I don't like would probably take me the next 20 years to type out, so I'll just simply broaden the answer a bit. Genres I can't stand: Rap, modern R&B (anything post 1989), modern pop (anything post-1989), country, EDM...

    Does anyone wear the same clothes over and over?

    Not really the same clothes, as I have a good variety of things. It's more or less the same style. Sleeveless shirt and shorts. It definitely has to do with sensory, as I feel like I can move more freely, and unlike wearing slacks and anything with sleeves (even a T-shirt or Polo), I don't...

    Fitness thread--what was your workout today?

    My new home gym! I can do almost anything I want to do in here. Just looking for a bench press setup, preferably with a leg developer attachment. I'm not a fan of dumbbell bench presses, as I find it difficult to manage a pair of heavy dumbbells while leaning back on the bench, then sitting...

    Fitness thread--what was your workout today?

    Was able to get in quite a bit of work this past week. 4 days of running, 3 days of cycling, and I started a strength training routine that I like. Upper body every other day, lower body and core on the other days. Trying not to take a "rest day" because I'll go absolutely insane if I skip a...

    Fitness thread--what was your workout today?

    Been extremely busy over the past couple of weeks to really keep my normal routine of exercising daily. Hopefully I can get back into it starting this week. 4-mile run this morning.

    Fitness thread--what was your workout today?

    Been so busy with recording this week that I hadn't had time to get in as much running as I wanted. A total of 15 miles this week, plus a bike ride tomorrow.

    Fitness thread--what was your workout today?

    Did my usual 5-mile run this morning, but I decided to try to push myself as hard as I could, but still maintain good form throughout. My normal casual time for this particular loop is around 1:06:00. Ran it today in just over 59 minutes, which goes to show that you don't really know what...

    Do you like other people with autism

    Generally, not really, but when I'm anxious, I don't like being around people in general. When I'm around certain other people with ASD, my anxiety usually goes through the roof, and I think the main trigger might be the way the other person's voice sounds: Timbre, word enunciation, repetitive...

    Happy 4th! 5-mile run in 1:06:00.

    Fitness thread--what was your workout today?

    Today was a 20-minute HIIT workout on the stationary bike. I'm not a big fan of HIIT workouts, but I did enjoy this one. Started with 5-minutes at level 8 for a warm-up, pedaling around 75 RPM, then 2 minutes of fast pedaling (90-100 RPM) followed by 1 minute of recovery at 75 RPM. After 3...

    Fitness thread--what was your workout today?

    6-mile slow run this morning. Yesterday's race pace was 11:30/mile, slow run today was around 13:30. Another 5 miles this evening because I had more energy to burn, and I just wanted to get out! Also a 13:30/mile pace. Then, just because, a somewhat intense 20 minutes on the stationary bike
