I need something to do.

For the absolute first time in my life I'm not filled with surging emotions. Today is like a tabula rasa for me, and I'm hoping to build on it.

I've been stuck in autistic burnout since I was 8yo. The only hobby I ever had was picking through rolls of pennies to pull out the wheatbacks, for one summer as a preteen.

I really could use something to do that isn't computer based. I have books, but want something more active.

Suggestions?

@Uair @actuallyautistic Few ideas on what to do:

  • Some sort of sorting of a big pile of stuff (your attic / someone else's / a basement)

  • visiting old grandmas or people regularly almost to save their life (while saving your own)

  • cutting vegetables for others, potatoes are one of the best anyway so why not for yourselves and others?! (as a 1 logic)

  • cleaning cars as a informal business - most family can feel some pride with that and like the inside done too.

@Uair @actuallyautistic ~ Learn music if you can; the theory and perhaps an instrument. Be well. 🙂

@Uair @actuallyautistic I really like swimming as a more active hobby. The feeling of my body being weightless in the water brings me sensory joy.
