A nurse waited with me until I came around and basically treated me for shock. I had orange juice and some sort of crackers and a blanket until I stopped shaking. They had me get up VERY slowly to make sure I didn’t get dizzy or throw up again. Eventually I was able to get dressed and drive myself home. Spent the rest of the day curled up on the couch with a blanket and hot water bottle sipping tea. It totally sucked.

There’s a Mexican restaurant near me that serves a cocktail with fried crickets as a garnish like that. It’s actually pretty good. They taste like corn nuts.

I vomited in the exam room and passed out. I think they finally realized I wasn’t kidding.

Inverted…? I suppose it could be accurate.

Perhaps your body is that way, but that is not true for all of us by any means.

Just grabbed the first one searching for “Brett Flight of the Conchords,” but you get the idea. Great New Zealand comedy.

He looks a little like Bret from Flight of the Conchords in that photo. Still agree with your comment though.

Hmm…saved by a steak sauce, I’m willing to give it a shot!

Oh! I thought 20m = 20 minutes or 20 miles! Neither of which is notably close.

I’m confused. WTF is she talking about? A daycare?

I see it more about the level of curiosity one has, rather than a typical / atypical division.

Yes, as a NT personally, both options are available depending on what I need to accomplish. For my brain to have no thoughts I have to actively meditate, and that’s really hard and has taken a lot of training and practice.

As for what I like or not, there’s some degree of control over it, but what’s key for me is an awareness of why I have likes / dislikes and the level of tolerance for them along a spectrum.

 

Granted I’m only on the first episode, but it struck me as intentionally using liminal space almost constantly.

I’m having fun tweaking things now, but I think I’ve got the basics mostly figured out. I’m in Denver, so the altitude and dryness play a role.

 

There’s a really cool set of experiments that have been done around this. It seems it’s the sound that compels them to build.
