    Today is sunny, muggy, and quite warm. I fed the birds. I've seen house finches, doves, and a male rose-breasted grosbeak. :D I picked half a bag…

    I saw a rose-breasted grosbeak on the hopper feeder. I don't think I've seen one in summer before. They usually appear in spring. We had some for…

Haha, Aspie Stim Team for the Win! I'm a pacer; every day my daughter calls on her way home from work, and as we talk for the hour it takes her to commute, I pace back and forth through the house, or out on the deck in good weather. Probably add an extra 2 miles to my daily average mileage by phone calls alone.

Fellow autie here. I sometimes pace around the room while thinking aloud. Also I bounce my leg when sitting down (not all the time, but often) and rock back and forth when standing up, if I'm not doing something that would make it a bad idea.

Autistic people should totally point that out whenever someone tells them not to pace. "So, you're telling me not to exercise? But I thought exercise was good and people are always saying to get more of it."

LOL, well, nobody in my life has ever said I should get more exercise. It's definitely possible to have too much of a good thing. But then nobody tells me not to pace, either.

I heard a story once, true story, where somebody pointed out to several overweight maids that they were doing a lot of exercise in their day to day job. Keeping this in mind allowed them to lose a bunch of weight without doing any more activity than they already were.

As for me, I've been getting a lot of exercise lately from traveling. I moved recently, and most places I go are now about an hour and a half away by bus.

Also sometimes I dance.
