Oh....my gosh. That's the exact one I had growing up as a kid for years. Wow. The memories are flooding back now. Wowie. I faithfully charged it in the sun whenever I saw it run low, and one night woke up maybe somewhere between 1 and 3 A.M. to see it syncing. I was maybe, oh a little older than 7-8 at the time.

I felt so overwhelmed with excitement that I ran over and woke my sister up to tell her my watch was syncing with the atomic clock in New York. She did not nearly share my level of enthusiasm over the subject matter at hand.

Of all of the more stereotypically autism-related memories I have of little me, that one is one of my favorites. My passion and excitement at the time was so cute. :') <3
