Omg you guys are my people! I had no idea this was an autism thing.

I go everywhere with a backpack containing:

  • Laptop
  • Charger
  • Phone charger
  • 2 TB hard drive
  • Cord adapter
  • Earplugs
  • First aid kit
  • Moleskin patches
  • Hi-vis vest
  • Wet wipes
  • old iPod
  • Pencil sharpener
  • Daily planner
  • Diary
  • Pencil case containing colored pens for my color-coded planner, ink fineliners in various thickness, pencils and brush pen
  • Water bottle
  • Emergency meds
  • Current book
  • Sewing kit
  • Umbrella
  • Extra pads
  • Shopping bag

I also wear a fanny pack containing:

  • Smaller wet wipe packs
  • Narcan
  • Multitool
  • Pens
  • Dried tinder conk fungus and a pack of matches in case I need emergency tinder
  • Fentanyl test strips
  • Earbuds
  • Portable battery to charge my phone with
  • Carabiner
  • Bus passes for two different states
  • Hair ties
  • Pen flashlight

Given that I have scoliosis, I do occasionally leave the house without the backpack because I guess not being in pain matters a little…

I only travel with a backpack when taking my bike (which is most of the time I’m going anywhere other than across the street) and I just have my bike lock in it (it’s more for bringing stuff from the store home). But seeing some of these other responses, that’s likely to change.
