Some hobbies haven't fully materialized because small things will get me dysregulated. Frustration builds/ mind/ identifying flaws, etc. I'm able to be kind, gentle & patient w/ clients who struggle w/ because it's something I've been slowly trying to overcome my entire life; partially because of my high demand religion, & also now I'm recognizing not only my parents' parenting style, but too. 😮‍💨 I'm learning to laugh now.

Thank you. I don't know whether to glad or sorry that you understand in your own way. 😆

Allowing my imperfect uke playing. If anyone plays uke or guitar well and wants to be my karaoke track, I'll use it for future recording 🎶😊 we can find songs both of us know.
Singing helps regulate my nervous system.

I wonder if we could organize some kind of fedi almost-live song-performance-posting chain... I enjoy performing too, but always tend to feel like the feeling is not reciprocated.

May make those uninterested happy for me to go elsewhere.
I don't know enough about the fediverse though. I've tried to find the hashtags that make sense to me. I also have mixed feelings because I shared it with the autistic groups since this is my stim/special interest & that's the space that supposedly is welcoming & compassionate. But it's sure awkward not deleting those groups every time I reply because I want it as a thread for my own profile 🤷‍♀️

(FWIW, I follow those group-bots and that's how I saw your posts.)

I wonder if there are any private auti/ND support groups; seems like that should be doable -- the bots would just repost everything as followers-only instead of boosting them.

I'd be happy to learn how to create this, I just don't know how yet.

I got as far as writing a posting-bot in PHP, but I haven't yet tried to write code for reading incoming posts.

Once that hurdle is crossed, the rest would just be subscription management, I think? I can think of a couple of different ways to do that.

Yup, me too. But it has to be a song I know well, because if I can't remember the words that's just more frustration on top of what I'm already feeling.
