I had a moment today where I realized that I prefer smaller enclosed spaces without a lot of sound. I know that is a classic Autism trait but I never connected the dots. I've always done what feels best in the moment.

Sleeping outside in a sleepingbag is where it’s at, unless you live a place where A/C is a necessity of course.

I wouldn’t know what to do if I couldn’t sleep outside at least two to three times a week, but then again I live in Denmark where we don’t really experience temperature extremes and have no dangerous animals to speak of.
