For me it's various things, some of which are (in no particular order):
Quietude in myself, quiet in my surroundings
Being alone or being with people I care about (preferably one at a time)
Being with animals and insects, especially studying how they spend their days
Being at home, in my bedroom, reading a novel
Being in nature away from the noise made by people
Watching a bird flying high in the sky, especially a raptor
Looking at the moon
Being creative
I like being in my workshop on my own,
Listening to audiobooks with headphones is a whole new world for me.
Walking in woodland is lovely and quiet.
I like being in the greenhouse and seeing how something I planted now has life and growth.
I love sleeping under my weighted blanket, I don’t know how it works but I actually get to finally sleep.
The biggest contentment is, I now don’t always mask in front of my wife, she is the only person who has ever seen me as the real me. It’s hard to explain, it’s often small things like not having to false smile and stim if I need or want to.
I love to walk in the woods.
