    How to tell someone off when they comment your behaviour?

    Not my piece of cake at all, so be assured I won't do that.

    How to tell someone off when they comment your behaviour?

    That's what I often do. No idea what to reply. It doesn't seem to always work, but it sometimes irritates someone who was mean a lot, because they do it for attention and nothing irritates them like being ignored. If the question is not one that you want to answer, you can ignore it or lie. For...

    How to tell someone off when they comment your behaviour?

    Yeah, he makes too much eye contact, perhaps he's been taught not making eye contact means all sorts of negative things, perhaps he just likes the look of faces, who knows? Someone else I know who is quite probably autistic doesn't make much eye contact herself but she keeps on accusing me of...

    How to tell someone off when they comment your behaviour?

    How does one deal with an autistic person who claims that you're bad meaning if you don't make eye contact with them? Or anyone like that for that matter? It's a personal attack, I don't care what he's been through, he's attacking me now because of it and it's not okay. How do I tell such a...

    Just need some self-assurance

    It always happens with politics. Both online and IRL it's an inflammatory topic better to avoid. Some people online are also quick to judge your mental health. I have also experienced that, they go on how you have xyz mental health condition and therefore are an awful person or can't judge abc...

    Developmental pathways for autism spectrum disorder

    I see a possible confusion of cause and effect. If you have more synapses, it's easy to visualise how the signals get stronger. At least for me it's easy to see it and even calculate it roughly. Stronger signals will elicit fight or flight responses more easily. Anyone would be frightened more...

    Just need some self-assurance

    Communication through text has its problems, both ends don't see the body language, don't hear the tone of voice, it might be difficult to judge the emotions with which words are paired and hence to judge intentions. It all sounds like miscommunication that you're describing. I think JSilver...

    Just need some self-assurance

    It happens online. If it makes you feel any better, some people online also jump to my throat, when I say something that is quite neutral. I'm no poet, but my writing skills are okay, and I'm polite. Sometimes people accuse me of being one thing or another, but I see this problem as being in...

    Vegetarian recipes

    On one hand, I feel like it would be more ethical to eat less meat, and on the other hand, I default to meat so much at this point, especially since getting the low-carb recommendation for hypoglycemia, that I think this might be a health concern in the long term. I love vegeburgers.

    Pros and cons of teaching at university

    Yeah, I have already been through some of the competitive atmosphere. I've been doing a bit of the scientific research at the university already.

    Pros and cons of teaching at university

    So someone I know who works as a university teacher has said that being a university professor is a good job for neurodivergent people. Do you have an idea what specifically this person was referring to? She was contrasting an average corporate job with teaching, and there, I see the point, that...

    My mental health status

    You are a good friendly person :)

    My mental health status

    You're not annoying, it's okay. You post whatever you feel like posting, and that's fine. I wasn't angry, I don't know why I would seem annoyed, but I'm not. Perhaps my responses are just long-winded and it's all there is to it.

    Artificial light sickness

    https://chadwickoptical.com/functional-filters/epilepsy-seizures/ I see, there are tinted glasses for that. I tried to wear sunglasses indoors, but it doesn't help much.

    Artificial light sickness

    Do you have ways to cope with fluorescent lights and LEDs other than avoiding them? Their spectrum is so weird and so annoying and the fluorescent lights blink on top of that, which I find nauseating sometimes.
