JUST FOR FUN - Autistic Christmas Cards!!

Autistic Christmas cards!   

Also. Available also from my local library,  or should I say my former library.  It's now known as a 'hub'

Thus hub, still.has a few books, but you can buy charity Christmas cards from all the charities . Plenty of computers, you can hand in letters and documents to the local council, it has brand new toilets (only one.  It's disabled and stinks).  It has new purpose built meeting rooms with glass walls.

And finally. The local post office is closing down.  And moving inside this 'hub'  haven't seen an ATM. 

Is it just me but I spend lots of time looking at the surroundings, counting windows, letters in banners, looking for any pattern that exists, of coarse I now know this to be my way of stimming as the more anxious I am the more I count, over and over even when I know I counted it right the first time, having an atrocious memory recall I am never quite sure if my recollection.

festive season, bah humbug!

No, it's not just you. It's words rather than counting for me, maybe a hangover from childhood hyperlexia. I'm not trying to comprehend what the slide-show or hand-outs are supposed to be telling me, but looking for favourite words and thinking of their synonyms, picking out spelling and grammatical errors, trying to name the fonts, getting picky about word-wrapping and kerning. If there's no slide show, I start compulsively reading posters and signs, brand names on electrical gizmos. Half of the notes I take are just little word-games to distract myself. I do the same if I'm out and about somewhere stressful too, on a bus/train journey, beermats on a pub wall, shampoo bottles when I'm on the loo, etc.

I've learned so much trivia in my life just because I discovered a new word and couldn't resist finding out all about it.

Likewise; that's why idiosyncratic is one of my favourites!

Aqua lauryl suphate.

Sodium laureth sulfate (SLES), an accepted contraction of sodium lauryl ether sulfate(SLES), is an anionic detergent and surfactant found in many personal care products (soaps, shampoos, toothpaste etc.). SLES is an inexpensive and very effective foaming agent.^[1]SLES, sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), ammonium lauryl sulfate (ALS), and sodium pareth sulfateare surfactants that are used in many cosmetic products for their cleaning and emulsifying properties. They behave similarly to soap.
