I'll have to try remember that L thing - it's very good and I

probably will remember it because it's very visual :-)

As for knifes and forks - that ones tricky with me because I hold my

fork in my right hand and knife in left - I can't do it the other way

around - but I am right handed (or at least I write with my right

hand) - but do lot's of things with left hand like pour water from

the kettle with my left hand etc.

Thanks Rainbow, I'll remember that one.

The problem with ozone, if you should happen to inhale it before it

breaks down, is that it gives O2 plus singlet oxygen, a free radical,

which is highly reactive with almost anything, like us.

Although that doesn't include me. My brother and I are right handed Aspies.

My sister is a left handed NT. Go figure!

I wonder if people tell us we are weird because we embody things in

their subconscious that they are afraid to face? Better to deny it.

Yes! I have to conciously picture 'left--right' in my mind before I

can process the information. Makes it very hard to drive or dance.

I chew pen lids - I often do it without noticing and if I do I stop

myself because invariably if I do not I end up chewing the lid so bad

(usually without noticing - I'm usually thinking) that it becomes

useless and will not go back on pen. I fiddle with things too.

I find doodling with pen and paper often stops me chewing and

fidling - but not stimming. If I am doing really detailed art work I

stim less - but find when I do move I am stiff from sitting very

still for long periods of time.

I often stim at computer.

True. Most people keep up a constant stream of activity and thoughts

in order to avoid being still and facing their deeper selves, which

they're frightened of in one way or another. Many people feel,

secretly, that there's something wrong with them.
