I feel a little bad for asking for help again..

So I need to do something. I have no idea what though. So these are things to consider for me:

  • I prefer something regular and scheduled. My Autism needs consistency, but my ADHD makes it really hard to establish and maintain.
  • I need to get out of my home. I am withering here
  • some (predictable) social interaction is okay. If it is too much I probably won't be able to keep up. I'd prefer something with a low upfront social cost (honestly the idea of being introduced to a new group feels overwhelming)
  • I prefer a somewhat sensory friendly environment (for example the music in a gym would be really really stressful)

I would like to know what kinds of things you found in your lives that worked. Thanks!

If you have money to spend here are some ideas:

  • multicopters flight in field of vision or FPV
  • RC cars, there may be some RC race tracks around big cities
  • if you have some sea or lake nearby, windsurfing might be good idea
  • photography

More cheap ones

  • find some hackerspace or maker groups, they usually understand that someone needs less social interaction, and you can learn to build stuff
  • bird watching
  • ingress mobile game (or any other made by niantic)
