    Autistic Positives

    It has made me discover this great community! I never would have thought to join if I wasn't autistic. I know I don't post here much, but I still really appreciate the forums for creating and supporting a community of autistic people from all walks of life all over the world. I've made some...

    When showing GRATITUDE and APPRECIATION backfires and makes you worse off

    I really don't relate to either of the businesspeople's responses. This passage in particular relates a scene which seems deliberately unkind and designed to cause embarrassment. Conversely, I prefer it if people don't thank me if I hold doors open to them, as it's just natural and I don’t like...

    Current book(s) you're reading?

    Let me know how you like the book! I watched Fern Brady in series 14 of Taskmaster and really liked her, so I was curious about her book.

    game not properly fullscreen

    Try going to the game settings. Maybe you can choose to make the game full screen there.

    Anger Rumination

    Do you know if there are other stressors in her life? Or if there is a lot going on? I know I can get unreasonably upset when plans are changed or things are done "for me", even when everyone is doing it out of their own free will. I want to take as little space as possible in the life of...

    Why do I sometimes "play dumb"?

    I often do this because I don't want to be stuck in a conversation I'm not interested in, because I want to uphold a certain reputation, and for humor value. For instance, I do know quite a bit of sports trivia from reading the news, but I honestly don't have any interest in sports, and find...

    Comment by 'Stuttermabolur' in 'My trap and the truth'

    This reminds me of what my mother told me. She was stuck in a very toxic relationship with an ex for several years, and they even had a children together (my sister). She always felt like she was stuck there, but one day after he hurt her she just... left. She literally walked out the door with...

    Sitting tolerance

    Can she stand, or crawl on all fours? Does sitting at all cause her discomfort, or is it specifically sitting in a chair? Can she sit in someone's lap, on a swing or a bean bag? I would recommend finding some other ways to engage her if she can't sit. Can she color against a flat wall or chair...

    Can’t maintain affection

    I know what you mean, and I've had the same situation in a previous relationship. It's very difficult, because on one hand it felt like I was doing the best I could, but on the other hand it was obvious that something was missing even if I couldn't identify what, and my ex was getting very...

    Bystander Effect?

    I notice this with streetlights too. I almost always wait for the green light before crossing a street, but oftentimes, a small group of people starts walking on a red if they don't see cars close by, then others see that people are walking across the street, so they probably can too, and then...

    Bystander Effect?

    In junior high, whenever a pupil was late to class and knocked on the door, I would spring up and walk over there to open it, even when I was at the other end of the room. Otherwise the rest of the class would stare at each other as no-one could decide who should grant entry. It's definitely...

    Do you still borrow books at the Library?

    For me, the biggest problem when it comes to reading from screens is the backlighting, and non-portability. I also print out scientific papers, which I haven't seen other people in the lab do. However, I'm not wedded to paper books, so Kindle also works fine. Nowadays I definitely read more...

    Embarrassing stories..

    Pooped my pants on a safari with my grandparents, uncle and his girlfriend in the car with me. I was 18. And that's not even my most embarrassing story.
