Time and autisim

Do you ver find if there's nothing to do time moves slow and it hurts your brain but if you enjoy something and take the time to enjoy each moment mindfully it slows time down in a fun way where you feel like an hour is a day a day like a week ect 

I have tried explaining this to people before everytime its oh yeah time goes slow if you clock watch... I'm not clock watching though I see the clock as I pass that's not clock watching 

Or they say oh no time flies when your having fun 

And people always describe mindfulness more like taking note of the taste of food never do they seem to mention helping time not fly away  if that makes sense 

The fun one is great but the boredom one I could do without

  • ok and don't worry about it I'm here for you we will get through it together all right and I'm new here too

  • you don't like instant coffee so that's ok and we can still be friends and my mom not a big coffee drinker at all and maybe me and you can still drink coffee together

  • I have one of those bean to cup machines and it's a godsend, as I hate instant coffee, it just have a weird taste (even the more expensive ones).

    I start work at 6am and I take a "cup" with me, it holds about a mug and a half. It's probably around 5 shots of espresso in total. I'll drink it over a 3 hour period. Then a have a normal mug when I get in which is around 3pm.

    I don't get a buzz, if I have too much I just feel sick.

  • That's amazing! I seem to be very sensitive to caffeine these days and can't really drink any with out getting the jitters and not being able to sleep, which is a shame because I used to *love* a bit of a coffee buzz.
