    Getting Older is Lonely

    Off topic, perhaps, but the home I am designing for my wife and I will comply with current ADA build specs, have solar/battery power, geothermal/heat pump AC/heat, and pure water via solar condensers, a big greenhouse off to the side, and do plan on getting one of those Tesla Optimus humanoid...

    I connect with socially awkward girl's.

    This whole topic of toxic, narcissistic, hedonistic behavior in society, I think we can make a 20+ page thread on this. When someone like me reads or watches a video about this, frankly, I simply don't understand it. Sure, I can come up with several potential contributors to this bad behavior...

    I connect with socially awkward girl's.

    Is it just me, but it sure seems like there is a lot of toxicity and dysfunction in the dating world. Women blaming men. Men blaming women. I am so glad I met my wife when we were 18 year old kids and never had to deal with any of this monkey business. Both my parents and her parents never...

    Getting Older is Lonely

    Balancing the need for solitude and the need for human connection is difficult. I can take people in "small doses", but I also need those "small doses". Nurture plus nature, I am an independent person. I will avoid "dependence" at all costs. "There are no two-person jobs" sort of mentality...

    Does anyone know what this type of dance is called?

    This might be considered "freestyle". It often contains elements of hip-hop and latin.

    How To Get A Job Advice

    If they are NOT noticing you are "different", then fine. You're a lot better at masking than you give yourself credit for. Otherwise, most people will almost immediately sense "something is off". Even if you "out yourself" as autistic, most folks wouldn't know what to do with that. "I've...

    How To Get A Job Advice

    Depends upon what you mean by "good at masking". This is highly individualized. Many studies have suggested and shown evidence that the "typical" female autistic is much better at masking their autism than the males. The irony is that female autistics typically have a significantly higher...

    Do you believe there's extraterrestrial life out there?

    All of those stars, all of those planets, and we are the 1 and only planet with "intelligent" life? The thought of that is ridiculous. What more likely is the scenario that physicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson described at one time. He said (paraphrasing), "The difference between a chimpanzee and a...

    Stress Management

    The short answer is "YES". The "typical" autistic brain does work much harder at just being "normal" than others. Having said that, it is imperative that we take good care of our brain health. For us, it may mean supplementing with antioxidants like N-acetylcysteine, SAMe, selenium...

    How To Get A Job Advice

    Good advice from @Judge I can "out myself" because I have 40 years' work experience, I am a leader, I am an educator, and I tend to intimidate people simply with my presence. As a new person who hasn't earned the respect of the team and management, I would simply keep it quiet for a while.

    Brain healing from God

    The voice I hear in my head is better described as "the inner monologue" or "the narrator". When I am thinking or reading, it's in actual words. I think this is part of my communication and auditory processing issues during a conversation. If someone is speaking to me, I cannot think at the...

    Low glutamate diet

    Then L-theanine may be an effective alternative to the SSRIs for some individuals. However, no head-to-head trials compare L-theanine to SSRIs in ASD or mania-prone individuals. Alternatively, L-theanine can be combined with SSRIs to reduce agitation or anxiety, potentially lowering mania...

    Low glutamate diet

    It is the L-theanine that is responsible for raising serotonin levels in the brain. Having said that, some autistics lack sufficient serotonin receptor density and/or have difficulties with serotonin receptor binding and turnover, resulting in significantly lower levels of serotonin in the...
