    Fear: phonecalls, forms, and bureaucracy

    I am very high functioning in terms of the autism spectrum. I have 10+ years experience working customer service jobs. I can take care of house chores, am disciplined in my diet and exercise, and independent enough that 99.99% of people would never suspect I have autism. I also have PTSD/CPTSD...

    Site topics

    I've noticed this site has an awfully narrow scope- is that intentional? I think topics like fitness/nutrition, romance/relationships, and careers/education could really use a little more focus. Just a thought.

    Nutrition/Diet - The Basics

    Processed food is bad, but so is completely ignoring macronutrients. Many of those diets skew heavily towards carbs, which is terrible, and absolutely not healthy long term. Plant based diets are consistently lacking in fat, and sometimes protein. I'm all for unprocessed food, but not at the...

    Upper Body Workout...

    Planning a workout isn't as overwhelming as it first seems. 8-12 reps in 3-4 sets is usually good, no matter the exercise. As far as the workout routines, just learn what the muscles do, and which lifts work them. I find it easiest to lump upper body into 2 categories: push, and pull. You can...

    Nutrition/Diet - The Basics

    Intro: In a thread I had posted before, someone mentioned that they would enjoy being taught the basics of nutrition and fitness. I am here to give that a try. The problem with most nutrition information in the West, is that it comes from either biased, or misinformed sources. The "food...

    ASD and addiction

    I'm wondering how common it is to find drug addiction among ASD people. I believe my ASD was a significant contributing factor to my opioid addiction that has lasted over 10 years. The physical sensory issues, the social issues, the anxiety and overstimulation... all of them were raging fires...

    Do you believe in IQ?

    Intelligence is to IQ as height is to weight: tall guys usually weigh more, but there are many lanky tall boys and many chubby shorties. Theres a strong correlation, sure, but it's far from accurate way to guess attributes.

    Coming Out

    I am 29 years old, and didnt suspect I was on the spectrum until just this year, and after 6 months, I still have trouble understanding and accepting it. I am top notch at "acting human", so much so that most people would probably refuse to believe I'm on the spectrum The people I worry most...

    Well, they absolutely have some value, but I think a little overvalued. It really depends on what you are trying to get from that meal. It also highly depends on what is in the shakes- are they more fruit/veggie "health" shakes, or are they protein/carb shakes for sustenance? It's a balance of...

    Thicc Alien seeking new planet

    If that's something people would like, I definitely will some day soon. Eating properly can make a lot more difference in how you feel than most think. It is shocking. It can be intimidating, but it is a process I would love to attempt to guide people through Covid was not kind to me, I lost...

    Very sorry to hear that! What a bunch of buttheads. I know that feeling of having a sibling get great care while being mostly neglected myself. Not pleasant.

    Thanks so much for all the responses, guys. I'm hoping I've finally figured "it" out. When I was young, I knew I was different, so I figured I'd grow up to be gay. Then I grew up, and no, I wasnt gay. Well, it must be that I'm a drug addict. Then I grew up, went into rehab (Alice in Chains...

    Thicc Alien seeking new planet

    Oh, heck yeah. Lifting is like my religion. I have a hard time not proselytizing. I think it could make a massive difference in the lives of ASD people. It has made a world of difference for me. I preach and teach whenever I can. Like other spectrum people, I could spend literal days talking...

    Thicc Alien seeking new planet

    Hello, everyone. This is terrifying, but it's probably what I need to be doing. I am 28, and was recently diagnosed. My parents both have PHDs in psychology, and my mom is even an "expert" in ASD, yet I spent most of my childhood being ignored, especially my mental health issues. I believe this...
