Re: Re: Virtual home relocation

[Guest guest]

I have become aware that I do have non-functional routine of mapping

everything in my head... I guess I do it in the housetoo, but do find it

very useful for finding things in familiar stores, and for driving

(especially in our city where I suspect the city plannersrequire threee

name and direction changes within the length of any road...)

but recently in learning bout non-functinoal routines (ie my partners

Asperger's) I decided that the way I do the mapping, and the reasons I

do it, and then the " running of the maps " for comfort sometimes... welll

I think it is a bit quirky

oh, and I also could tell you the orientation (S<E<W<N<) of everybed I

have ever slept in too! (ok my own beds anyway! yikes)

I think it is part of my mapping thing... and definetly, d -d - d- dd

defeintely autistic...

dani,

who is having fun with her new stutter this year...

by the way, this has become more visible since I left the town I had

lived in for 35 years to move here three years ago, that is why it is

more functinoal at the moment....
