This is my tissue box. We don’t actually keep tissues in it anymore. I have an extremely sensitive gag reflex. If I am having a bad morning looking at things like the sink drain can trigger me. Focusing on the tissue box helps to keep me grounded while brushing my teeth.
This is a daily post for “casual” conversation. If you want to post or talk about something non autism related this is where to do it. For example if you want to info dump about your special interest but it doesn’t fall into “autism related” then you can post it here in the comments. All other rules are still active, be respectful to each other.

Partner was all “hey, you have too much stuff in your purse/backpack” so we sat down and sorted my backpack items into
- Need at work (this pile turned out to be empty, since anything I need at work I might need on a hike)
- Need when hiking
- Both
And now my backpack just has “both” in it. It’s a tad lighter. I’m still worried I’ll need something and not have it because anxiety.
I’m making up two “hiking” bags with the same items and we’ll keep one in each of our cars, so I can grab it and add it to my backpack as needed.
I’m still not confident this will solve any problem I had, I was OK with the weight of my backpack before.
