I’m good at puzzles, particularly like jigsaw puzzles, but also games like flow where you match the pipes. I can sometimes do it so quickly I don’t understand how I know what I’m doing, it’s more like instinct.

I’m currently pregnant and can’t eat oysters… This is soooo tempting!

I agree, this is something you need to be able to discuss with your husband.

Motion sickness for me. I travel 2+ hours a day, and get really motion sick. It would be unbearable if I couldn’t drive. Also, I don’t believe I actually have reliable public transport between my home and workplace.

My favourite sweet it Edinburgh Castle Rock. It’s a bit different and has a chalky texture, but that’s why I love it!

I like them too for the texture!

Hmmmm interesting, I’ll have to try!

Fish roe for me too! I love the pop.

Ooh never tried either of these. I imagine they have a q texture? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_texture

Agreed! I know them as black ear and think the same.

Mmm yes!

Also makes me thing of droewors, which I absolutely love. I’ll have to give it a go!

Oh yeah!

That sounds brilliant!

Very embarrassing, but also hilarious!

Haha absolutely!

As a teacher, I would always let kids go. Although depending on the situation, I might say “wait a minute until -other student - comes back” or “just listen to this instruction first so you know what to do”. You definitely get to know kids who ask to leave to get out of work, but rather than stopping them going, you need to work out why they are avoiding the work in the first place. Often it’s anxiety about the work being too hard, or they just need a sensory break because classrooms can be overwhelming. In those cases, it’s actually not that helpful to force them to stay in the situation anyway.

Ugh, I’m in Australia and it’s absolutely freezing today 😭

This is my understanding too. I don’t want to diminish the experience of OP at all, but I understand the term neurodivergent to apply more to the functioning of the brain rather than the positive or negative effects of that functioning.

Weary, hopeful and nervous!
