    Does full-time work seem impossible to anyone else?

    It can get better, slowly at a time. I was severely depressed and could hardly leave house for 2 years (almost a decade ago). I couldn't find a job for a long time. I started volunteering with teaching language lessons to foreigners (free) and for some time that was my side occassional job to...

    Special interests that are too niche to be relatable?

    @crewlucaa_ which EDM music you like? It's kinda relatable - I like MMORPG, but Asian and grind, I like speculative fiction - but I don't like and ignore 99% of US & UK series, etc. There is too much cultural dominance. I read widely, but most of the books are by hardly known world writers...

    Poll: Do you use Twitter?

    I use Twitter daily. Gives me good information and algorithm (with banned keywords) makes it easier for me to stay up to date without seeing hostility like on FB. If by echo chamber you mean having no derogatory posts directed at "people like me" then definitely. I don't need more biases and...

    Faking Neurodivergency

    It makes sense. It's used for a long time as singular they, especially when one doesn't want (or doesn't know) to share the person's gender. They is also used as one of the most common non-binary pronoun. It is grammatically correct, so best not argue about that. We in the transgender community...

    Are fairness and honesty detrimental to us regarding employment and life

    You can slow down and take some break. You can take longer lunch, read a book, etc.Don't burn yourself out. Either they let you... Or you take their tasks on your own. You taught them, they can do nothing and still get the rewards because you will do it anyway. So, don't do more than you need...

    Nonverbal sometimes?

    Hi, if you're sometimes nonverbal, can you explain what does it mean for you? How it affects you and what do you do? Trying to figure it out if it happens to me. Especially in work setting.

    What video game are you currently playing?

    Finał Fantasy XIV (mostly) and XV. Also mobile games like State of Survival and some others. Always looking out for other people to play with.

    Any Writers?

    I'm trying to write, and so far some of my non-fiction scribbles ended in queer anthologies (one way or another). I also wrote poetry, hopefully I will publish it too one day.

    What was the last movie you watched?

    There were 2 families (mothers) with children behind me. Maybe they didn't even notice. No, I was too stressed, and downstairs when the staff was present it was already too packed with full noise on (video games, popcorn machine, people etc.). Anxiety doesn't help. There was a person coming...

    What was the last movie you watched?

    I had a bad luck of going by bus with broken audio announcements for 20 mins :( So that probably also made it worse. I don't feel like sound settings were lowered down (in film/music and ads too). And there was a really long and high pitch of sound when the main hero was having seizures on the...

    What was the last movie you watched?

    I have today watched "Dog" (2022) which was supposed to be autistic-friendly screening in the cinema. It didn't go/end well. :(

    Questions for those who have ASD1/A "mild" form of autism

    Website tech support or QA might be nice too. Not sure how those things are popular tho.

    "Emptiness" without Special Interest?

    @Mis-fit loves to be challenged but not overly, is so true for me. My recurring obsessions (mostly) are connected to websites. I work with websites professionally. I do analysis, spot issues and patterns. And the work is very repetitive. And I can do it from home. A lot of my interests and...

    Do you like or hate watching sport?

    A waste of time. I can watch things like volleyball or judo/sumo but that's about it, most of the time. Why watch? It's better to do sports.
