I consider myself lucky that I stumbled across my perfect niche. I work in an engineering capacity, in aerospace, where precision, process, and documentation are *everything*. It's like they created a role, just for me.
@ScottSoCal @Bette @actuallyautistic very similar here although now I'm retired I have space to try letting go of those and am using them less.

A post about routines is what flagged for me. For nearly everything in my life, there's a process, there are steps, they have to be done in order or things go wrong. I live on checklists, timers, and alarms.
@ScottSoCal Ohhh, Ashley C.
I once read a review where they complained that the chicken Caesar salad had too much chicken. If only there were an easy solution to remedy such a problem.
I may or may not be the one who started this review as a rebuttal to Ashley.
"First, if you read Ashley Cope's review, be aware this isn't a Volkswagen dealership. Clearly, she was drunk or confused. It's a repair shop."

Many of the posts here have mentioned things that ring with me.
Does anyone mind if I lurk, read, and learn more?
And sorry for the two posts, my instance has a small character limit per post.

Am I @actuallyautistic ? I don't know. I've never considered it until I started reading some of the posts here. I know almost nothing about autism.
I've called myself "socially awkward", and "introvert". Other people have called me "unaware", "difficult", "intense", "hyper-focused".
People often confuse me, I have no idea why they do what they do. I'm good with animals. Animals don't conceal, or evade, or lie. I'm good with machines. They work or they don't.
Good luck, stay safe, and Slava Ukraini.
This is first on Mastodon! Please boost this thread. Itβs an important one.
Good morning to readers. Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.
Some career news: Iβm leaving NPR as part of the layoffs that dramatically reduced the companyβs workforce.
Iβve decided to go back into Ukraine to keep reporting.
But this time, alone.
This is what I'm doing right now. Except I'm not a #squirrel. I guess that's obvious.

My husband gifted me this special paintbrush I can use on my I-pad. It works almost like one but does not give me the fine control I like when I paint. Yet I love how my stroke came out on this pink heart.

Valley of the Gwangi has a cowboy punching a pterodactyl. Repeat, A COWBOY PUNCHING a PTERODACTYL
Been working on animations a bit for third person view with metahoomans
Not bad for a few hours right!
I'm not a parent, and I'd be afraid to let my parrot learn science - she runs the house as it is, if she knew how to science, she'd run the world.
But boosted, for sure.
Be a rebel. Cyber on random days, whenever the mood strikes.
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
