    Where should I learn about ASD?

    I personally learned a lot from autistic content creators on YouTube, but I also was doing research like Neonatal suggested about. Typically based on something mentioned or referenced by one of the autistic content creators. For me though it was just random fate really, as YouTube one day just...

    The culture of lying

    Dunno where I sit in that regard then seeing as I used to think more in black and white terms but have since unlearned that through research and observation. Also it very much seems that black and white thinking isn't limited to just people on the spectrum. I mean just look at the world around...

    I'm trying not to post my thoughts on Facebook or YouTube so much

    Yeah I keep thinking that they're not a very good representation of us. It's a shame really.. we need more famous people with Asperger's/Autism that aren't horrible people. Should probably stop this line of dialogue here tho, so we don't go too far with this.

    Wait Zuckerberg has Asperger's too? I knew about Musk ofc.

    I'm trying not to post my thoughts on Facebook or YouTube so much

    I'd say that that people seeking out arguments or just being flat out trolls isn't anything new online, or on social media/YouTube. I think it was somewhere between 2007 and 2010 that I essentially got bullied off of the YouTube comments, and I stayed away from it for approximately 10 years...

    The culture of lying

    Bear with me on this as I have quite a bit to say, like two posts worth maybe.. heh. But I remember learning while growing up that if you lie then you'll lose your credibility and not be believed anymore, and I experienced this myself due to the fact I did lie a bunch.. mostly that I did my...

    Any of you not able to make friends? I know I very rarely make friends.

    Yeah I tend to get nervous about meeting new people and potentially making new friends. Every time my partner has introduced me to one of his friends I go through a period of time where I'm nervous and uncertain of myself, but I tend to just play it by ear and see how things go. However I...

    do you think autism is genetic?

    I don't have much to add to this subject that hasn't already been said But I'd say that it's genetic as well, and I can't speak much for the environmental stuff as I'd have to learn more about that first. I believe we should be careful with that one as it's easy to end up in conspiracy theories...

    Any of you not able to make friends? I know I very rarely make friends.

    I'd say it can be a hassle too, yes. Though I'd say it's because it can be hard to break your routine to make room for time with friends and one might not be able to fully enjoy their time with their friends because their typical routine is being messed with. At least initially until that...

    What video game are you currently playing?

    Recently got into a rather interesting RPG game called Kenshi, after watching a playthrough of it on YouTube and figuring I'd give it a try. Been playing it pretty much non stop since I downloaded it, and that's actually what's been distracting me from here lately. It's described as a "sandbox...

    Not New, Just Back... Hopefully

    I've admittedly used God mode myself but I typically only use it in two instances... 1. when I'm "loot goblining" and am tired of the slow over encumbered movement speed. 2. I'm struggling with an encounter and keep dying. 3. Both, as sometimes being over encumbered makes a combat encounter...

    Why don’t I want to do anything?

    Any suggestions on good resources for that? As I'd like to do the same. And actually for my father it was more than just "being normal" though there was plenty of that too, typically poorly framed as "You're not R worded, so stop acting like it!" which is part of why I hate that term to this...

    Not New, Just Back... Hopefully

    Yep, and I know there's nothing I can really do about it either. I can't really become an activist because that requires social skills which I lack due to being autistic and because of years of self isolation out of fear. Also pretty sure modern day activists use social media and I just never...

    Why don’t I want to do anything?

    Yeah I've wondered if my "laziness" is due to execution dysfunction as well. But I don't know enough about executive dysfunction to know how to tell if that's what's going on with me or not. Perhaps that's what it was with schoolwork too, and not just "laziness" like I kept being accused of. I...

    Why don’t I want to do anything?

    Yeah I get that way too, a bit too often for my liking. I just don't feel like doing anything productive even if there's something I know I need to get done and it might be weeks it even months before I finally get around to it. My therapist thinks that in some instances it's due to my anxiety...
