I don't think I should tell a shrink that I am a Tootle Puffer?

Won't do you any good. They most likely won't react and will just wait for you to explain if and when you're ready. Or, they might ask you, "And, how do you feel about that?"

Yes I vape when I wake, and the stability of the routine is what gives it the comfort. You should see me fold towels. lol

Oh, you'd hate my current situation. I'm still not back to even my normal yet, so the county is sending housekeeping help twice a week. When I had the help once before I always did the dishes myself since their standards are way lower than mine. But at this point in time I still can't stand up long enough to do them myself, so I have to try to ignore the grease and such still on them, or wash them again right before I use them.

Their take on towel folding, etc. is easier to correct once they're gone. I figure maybe it's a plot to make me work even harder at getting back on my feet?

Just found this thread. Not diagnosed with Asperger's or ADD/HD, but I am diagnosed with a couple different varieties of anxiety disorders, PTSD and OCD among them. A predictable, reliable routine like vaping is most definitely a relaxing and soothing comfort to me when I'm stressed. It's part of what kept me on cigs for so long.

Also, in answer to the OP's questions... Yes I vape when I wake, and the stability of the routine is what gives it the comfort. You should see me fold towels. lol

It's good to have you here @TheLordWinter !

If anyone's interested, tomorrow is The Big Give for Autism. More information here.
  • Approximately one in four young adults with autism was socially isolated.
  • Four in every 10 young adults on the autism spectrum never worked for pay between high school and their early 20s. Those who got jobs tended to work part-time in low-wage jobs.
  • Approximately 26% of young adults on the autism spectrum received no services – services which could help them become employed, continue their education or live more independently.
  • Over half of young adults with autism received no vocational or life skills services during their early 20s.
  • Nearly 37% of young adults with autism were disconnected from both work and education after high school.

Thank you for sharing that.
People are quick to dismiss autism/aspergers, and that is very sad.
Because it is difficult to live with.
(Ask my wife. No joke. Ask her.)
(No don't. ...... she does enough already)

I think it's a comment on their pride in work.
Or lack thereof.
