    I wonder if someone could help with a question please πŸ™. I feel a bit silly asking. I seem to have this thing were I do this thing we're I'm running my fingers through my hair . I do it a lot . I do feel ashamed about asking. When I was a lot younger I used to pick the skin on my scalp can't remember why thar stopped but my skin picking has never really left me . Sorry about this πŸ˜”

    Hi @Bluebell21 , it's usually when I'm sat down. I don't pull hair out no . No need to apologise it absolutely fine . I think I do it when stressed and when sitting down and watching TV. Sorry I do feel a bit ashamed. Thank you though.

    Starting to get the dreaded cold bug that's going around the uk, my daughter caught it from work. I had my flu jab so hopefully it won't turn into that. Especially with copd don't want another chest infection.

    Hope you feel better soon @Andi66 . Someone at my house had the horrible virus that's going around. They didn't have the flu injection. I had my flu injection. Please take care. Lucozade is good when your run down. That's if you can have it . Please take care and get well soon.

    @Andi66 , do you think me regularly running my fingers through my hair could be stimming?

    Good morning Strawberry,

    I've read that stroking our hair is something we do to comfort ourselves and that makes sense if you're feeling anxious doesn't it? I did it for years around other people and on my own..

    I also used to chew or suck my hair, bite my nails (both driving my dad mad) and play with my eyelashes 🀨

    All completely understandable for ASD so do not feel ashamed of the habits you developed! It's important to identify these differences as you are doing brilliantly πŸ’œ

    Really pleased it went ok @Bluebell21. What dog do you have and what's their name if you don't mind me asking?

    Just work for me, and then hoping to get some exercise in after, but we shall see! How about you?
