That's ironic

Yor life can always be pulled apar and is never 100% finished. I have not been in your situation. But I have learnt to be autistic as I got my diagnosis late.

First about storage, I would either start by trying to sort the stuff, I mean, boxes are a type of storage as well. Go for rough categories in size and location / type.

• Kitchen stuff, big
• Kitchen stuff, small
• gardening
• medical / health
• etc

The other thing you can do is to just go to a second hand store and find a bookcase you like with fairly big and deep shelves. A big plus if you can move the shelfs as well. Often you can find them in sets of two or three. If you are creative you can sand and paint it to make it more your own.

About routines, you probably have some sort of routine, try to build on that. And you don't necessarily need a super rigid routine. We eat around 12 and 18. I exercise some days after dinner. At 22 I clean a bit in the kitchen and go to beed to read until I can sleep. I do laundry on the same day every week etc.

I need to change calendar app too, I'm using Google now. It's really nice to get the notifications as well

I think group-chats would help with that. And also when the info is digital and I don't really need it on paper. I have a friends bday coming up soon, so he wrote a list of what we wants from people. I wouldn't feed the need to have that on paper.

On the other hand I want as little as possible in the tech gigants. So I'm even thinking of emptying my contacts-list of all personal info and only have their phone number and name.

And also copy bdays from Facebook to.. somewhere else. I guess this is where the struggle with pen and paper comes in for me. I'd love to do some bullet journal ish note taking. But it can feel like such a hassle when you need more space somewhere, like adding a bday between two others.

That is a good step in the right direction

A lot of my notes do have a digital part of them so to speak, often in form of links. Like if I'm planning a trip it's nice to have a link to the hotel, rental car, restaurants etc.

But on the other hand it's not a must. And I'll add in my digital calendar when to check in etc. So I could add link to the hotel there.

I think what I want most is an epaper tablet like remarkable or supernote.

Ooh okay! I see. Yeah I've head of Zettelkasten, it seems nice!

It also makes it harder to even accept help because you have been doing okay so far. It's almost like, if you accept too much or certain types of help, you feel like a lesser person. It's not true, of course. It's just hard to ask for help for things you thought where okay.

I am curios about using pen and paper more, but I don't want to do the extra step of having to write again digitally. But this has made me think, how much do I need to have digitally anyway? I also don't want to do it the other way around, aka. writing digitally to paper on a regular basis.

You say that most of what you write will end up digitally, do you do some sort of editing to improve the text or do you just copy it? (depending on what it is ofc)

What that heck. Poor people. It's scary enough to get snatched away like that. Who the hell knows where they are being taken.

Disgusting ice and politicians. I hope they get diarrhea for a few weeks.

Ew

I don't see it as offensive, but English isn't my first language either.
I don't think we have a term in Swedish for "on the spectrum" we would instead say NPF, Neuropsykiatriska funktionsnedsättning / funtionsvariation which means "Neuropsychiatric disability / functional variation".

I do get a little bit annoyed tho when people hesitate or feel uncomfortable to use the word autism, as if it would be a slur. But I understand they don't want to step on my or anyone else's toes.

Aah okay! Thanks!

Understandable, thanks

Wait, am I reading correctly that it has no perfume?

Have you happened to see any with no or truly mild perfume? I've been looking on and off through the years without finding any

Same! One day I want to travel there and look at it in person

In sweden we have a statue of an old lady using her handbag as a weapon

If both have informed consent and preferably a stop/slow sign I see nothing wrong with it.
