I wish I could let my hair grow out. I tried for 3 years because after I got medication that helps with overstimulation, I thought/hoped long hair wouldn't bother me as much. Boy was I wrong.

I did that for a good while when I was really sick of having my hair cut, and I thought at the time I could get away with a buzzcut, but looking back on the photos... I really can't. I'm stuck with barbers for now

I love having my hair buzzed super short but unfortunately even my autism isn't strong enough to not give a fuck about being a bald woman :(

Man, that's the dream right there. I'd pay double for a decent robot barber

It was a pretty cheap barber which was all I could afford then, but it also means they don't take quality as seriously as more expensive barbers. I've had a disconnected undercut for years and they were always messy as hell with the lines but I used to have long hair that I mostly wore down so it wasn't really that visible. Now that it's really short you can see everything and it just looks messy and ugly. It's such a shame because the 20 minutes in silence was really amazing.

Yeah, I totally get that it meets a certain need for a lot of neurotypicals, that's why so many barbers are like that. I'm happy for them it exists but damn it can be rough to find one who is more introvert/autistic friendly

Hi, came here because I have the same issue, just wanted to say thanks for being so on top of everything and I look forward to the next update.

Is she food obsessed the whole day or just in the morning? One of my cats was like that, the whole day, and it turned out she actually had worms (my fault, I didn't think it was necessary to deworm an indoor cat), and now that it's treated she is very chill with food.

Why doesn't you mom take that poor cat to the vet? Compulsive grooming is a symptom, not a thing onto itself. She probably would also be a lot sweeter if she wasn't constantly in pain or itchy or stressed or whatever is wrong with her.

I moved into one of these buildings about 1.5 years ago and it's indeed awesome. We also have no gas and tons of solar panels on the roof so last year with the insane energy prices in the whole of Europe I spend €2,83 for all my energy including heating for 8 months, and I'm easily cold so I always have the heating on. The only problem is as you say to get rid of heat in summer, but they opted for smaller windows than is standard so less heat is getting in in the first place. And because of the great insulation you also have pretty much no traffic noise from outside. The only complaint I have is that the mechanical ventilation can get quite loud when it's windy outside, but the benefits are so overwhelming I can't be that bothered by it.

I'm glad that at least the birds are enjoying the 'summer' where I live then because it has been overcast and raining literally for 1.5 months straight

Haha so true. A friend of mine used to have two big tomcats and a little puffball void girl. Guess who was the boss in that household lol. She had those boys under her paw
