      @@WB4JB For a lot of autistic people it's hard to just sit down and enjoy something and be content. It's a lot of overstimulation mentally, even just sitting down doing nothing, it feels like very bad anxiety and its difficult to focus on something, in other words it's hard to find something that can not only keep your mind at bay but also find something you can enjoy. It's a big deal to people like us, the 20 minutes of peace and not having to deal with the mental unpleasantness really means a lot. It's like trying to drive a car that bucks and surges, cuts out, etc. When you finally drive over a smooth road and the engines running perfectly its awesome, to most people that would just be driving

    As a skydiver, terminal velocity in free fall is around 220km/h, sure glad my main chute has always opened and haven’t had to go to reserve yet. No chutes in the car must have made your stomach drop but great job taking a high pressure situation and controlling it!
