    Fireworks go Boom

    Since my neighborhood sounds like a war zone anyway, I'm taking the opportunity to make some noise that would normally result in a visit from the fuzz. I'm teaching my kids how to separate water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen gas using electrolysis. I made a PVC pipe with stainless steel...

    The World Is Loud

    I have sensitive hearing and always pick up some humming, vibrating, or beeping noise that others don't notice. I also have tinnitus so even in complete silence I hear a ringing in my head. I wish I could experience true silence for just a few moments to see what it is like. I imagine it is...

    How to write less formally?

    When I was a young child I made a mother's day card in school and signed it "Sincerely, first name, last name" instead of signing it "Love" and just my first name. My mother still brings it up and laughs about it occasionally.

    Google Chrome

    I've been having trouble with the site loading today too. I've used Chrome for years though and never had a problem before so I don't think it's the browser. Other sites load fine. I like Chrome because I'm completely immersed in the Google world. All my tabs, passwords, and searches show up on...

    Things that you normally Carry on you/"Comforters"

    The tip points up while it is in my pocket because it is folded. I keep it clipped to my pocket so when I put my thumb in my pocket I pull it out by the thumb hole and in one motion open it so then the tip will be down.

    Keeping the mind engaged

    I have a similar type of job. This might not be an option for you, but while I work I use headphones and listen to podcasts and audiobooks. In the last month I got through 11 books which is way more than I could have read normally. I also listen while doing chores around the house. It's a good...

    Advice?

    I wish I had some advice on how to 'want to do homework' but I was the same way. Between homework and tests many of my high school grade books were filled with 100s and 0s.

    High pain tolerance

    When I donate blood the phlebotomist always presses around my arm with two fingers to locate a good vein. That touch often feels worse than when they actually stick the needle in. That makes me feel like I'm strange.

    I recommend The Journal of Best Practices by David Finch. I used the Overdrive app to download the audio book from the library.

    Deprogramming Ableism

    Have any of you actually taken the implicit association tests mentioned in the article? I'm really curious about the results because I have a hypothesis that aspies would score differently than the general population. I took them a long time ago and they showed no measurable bias concerning...

    High pain tolerance

    I thought about this recently, because people told me they couldn't understand why I wouldn't take painkillers for an injury (ruptured L5-S1), but it's difficult to know how other people experience pain. How can one be sure their pain tolerance is different than someone else? Even when two...
