Everytime I hear or read of someone being on the spectrum I think of my lifelong habit of developing an obsession for something, that I then follow intensely for months on end and then suddenly it is over. Like a love affair that runs out of steaminess. And then ages later, it reappears and I find my mind circling around the edges of an old love. Aquariums are on my mind. A well scaped tank with plants and fish and microlife alongside all the science and tech learning that goes with it is totally absorbing, but I am trying not to get swallowed up in it again. Just one small indoor water garden, and one outside pot with the lotus plant. That's not too much I tell myself, as I scan the TM listings for tiny cold water fish in my locality.
To keep the mozzies down, of course. Liar liar pants on fire...
A little while ago there was a thing on about Autism & ADHD. It mentioned that symptoms of Autism can include being rubbish with maths & having little sense of direction so get lost easily - both of which i have. Slightly alarmed, I sent a message to DIL - did she think I might be a bit autistic?
She told me not to be daft - possiby a bit eccentric she claims, but not autistic!
She's very handy that DIL....
Although, one day we were going somewhere & stopped at an intersection, & I happened to look up & saw a cloud which looked exactly like a hand holding a small ball in the palm; I said 'Look at that" without saying what I saw, & she saw the very same thing - so if I'm weird then so is she.

Perhaps you could enlist the neighbour's kids to help - pay them a bit maybe - so much per wheelbarrow or something? That's a lot of work for just one person.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
