    1 year since my diagnosis

    So it’s been a year to the day since I received my official diagnosis. Coming out and getting a diagnosis has benefitted other people as well as myself. I’ve solved a family mystery. Where are all my other autistic family members? Some have a few traits. A grandfather who was an accomplished...

    What kind of content do you consume?

    Autismforums.com, naturally. YouTube for gaming, tech, DIY tutorials and sometimes just random interesting things. Twitch.tv for gaming, tech and art streams. Reddit for specific gaming and tech related things, like restoring and modding retro consoles.

    Why “Struggling” in Math Isn’t About Intelligence

    Dyscalculia is a fairly common autism co-morbid condition, but it doesn’t seem to receive anywhere near as much attention as dyslexia for some reason. I attended a top-tier webinar just after my diagnosis and dyscalculia was even missing from that. They went into every other co-morbid such as...

    Noise Cancelling technology

    Oh I know what you’re thinking! “Hmm, if only I could make my neighbour poo himself by playing noise I found on the internet….”

    Noise Cancelling technology

    Alright, but sorry if I’ve over-hyped my dumb weekend experiments! :p I used a tone generator site and the free Audacity audio software. Specifically, the “invert” effect. Online Tone Generator Invert - Audacity Manual I set up 2 speakers, one at either side of the room, pointing at each...

    Noise Cancelling technology

    I tried this myself a while back. I did a few experiments in Audacity, generating tones and reversing the polarity on a second tone on the same frequency to phase out the noise and it does work. The problem was, I couldn’t get it to work with the noise I was actually trying to get rid of in the...

    "Autistic inertia," does this concept ring a bell to anyone?

    Interesting, thanks for this. I had an analogy for starting and stopping tasks being like a freight train: a lot of effort to get going, but also a lot of effort to stop once in motion. But the idea of autistic inertia is the perfect description.

    Theory of Mind

    Just after my diagnosis, I attended a webinar at the same clinic that handled my diagnosis and they talked about the psychology trifecta of theories, Theory of Mind. Central Coherence. Executive Functions. The Sally-Anne problem was one of the slides, apparently most autistic children will...

    Remote workers, represent!

    Nice! I’m an IT guy and I sometimes work remotely. I will remote into a customer’s system if it is more convenient than visiting them in person or have them drop their stuff off in person, or if they’re in another part of the country. I don’t get to do it from a nice location though, just my...

    Scotland

    Hello and welcome, pleasure to meet you, I’m in Scotland. A Scotsman in rural East Lothian to be precise. I was diagnosed last year at 36. I went private, an autism specialist clinic in England due to NHS Lothian informing me they were putting assessments on hold because of the massive backlog...

    Just discovered a new term: misokinesia, the visual version of misophonia. Google it for a potential “a-ha!” moment.

    Going deeper into misophonia

    I found the term for the visual triggers aspect of misophonia: misokinesia. Here are a few resources that give an overview as well as more in depth studies, but a quick Google for the term misokinesia will naturally provide all you could ask for...
