    Post pictures of things organized neatly

    Here in Iceland, the lupine is seen as an invasive weed which people are trying to uproot. The were originally brought here in the mid 20th century from Canada to help the soil, as a lot of the land is essentially a desert, and lupines have the ability to enrich the soil with nitrogen. However...

    What video game are you currently playing?

    Are there specific objectives you are achieving within the game, or are you just replaying the same levels over and over again? I know that when I play a game, I tend to get stuck on them until I finish them completely. I am a completionist, so I don't want to miss anything a game has to offer...

    NT with aspie bf witth anger rants

    As others have mentioned, his anger outbursts are his responsibility, while you are dealing with the consequences. You cannot make him de-escalate if he doesn't want to. You cannot find a middle ground if he is stuck at the extreme. You cannot solve a problem that he ultimately doesn't want...

    I Love My Job So Far!

    I drove a small electrical forklift for indoor use when working at a state run alcohol distribution center for a few months. I never had big issues, but one of the staff members driving a large forklift that can reach pallets several stories high had an accident, and destroyed a pallet full of...

    Question about word count and references in a scientific paper

    I spent a year in the US in a prestigious research group at the University of Pennsylvania (they published six papers in a Nature/Cell journal the last two years) during my MS studies. The primary investigator had been a professor for 35 years and was inducted into the national academy of...

    my boyfriend doesn't talk

    I just want to remind you of the typical "if you know one autistic, you know one autistic" response. I personally have had plenty of long heart-to-heart conversations, with both non-autistic and other autistic people, and kityoumi herself is autistic. However, I have a big interest in people...

    Meme

    Yeah, my partner isn't autistic, and she likes to listen to songs on repeat. She probably does it more than me. The difference between us is that when she listens to a song on repeat, it tends to fade into the background for her, while if I'm listening to a song on repeat, I'm still focusing on...

    Lots and lots and lots of autistic folk

    I wouldn't discount an actual rise in autism out of hand, but I tend to agree, in that I think the vast majority of the current increase in autism diagnosis is due to better and more universal education on the subject. Especially with how many diagnoses nowadays are older people (as seen on the...

    Lots and lots and lots of autistic folk

    I haven't read the paper in question (is the primary source a research paper published by a reputable institution?), but with current knowledge of autism, and much more knowledge about it in the general population, that makes sense to me. I feel like I've met a lot more autistic people...

    ASD and ADHD couple, can it work

    I understand that you have rejection sensitive dysphoria which can make things difficult. Autism cannot be cured no matter what, though autistic people can change their behaviour. The issue is that the change might not be genuine, and can take up quite a bit of energy. Rejection sensitive...

    Micro stakes poker

    I read an interview a professional poker player. It's similar to what you say in the second comment. You can make a living on it, but you still aren't getting rich from doing it. However, it was absolutely soul crushing to play the same game day in and day out, and a lot of the losers would get...

    Birthdays

    I'm very bad at remembering birthdays and don't particularly care about my own, though I let my grandparents invite me out for dinners as I know they like that. My partner however doesn't celebrate any specific days or events. I can't remember her birthday, but she wouldn't want me to anyways...

    Autism and humour

    Interesting thread. Contrary to the first citation, I find my humor tends to lean towards the abstract, and often depends on hard to notice corrections between things. I also tend to find things the funniest when they aren't meant to be jokes and come out of nowhere. My partner has often...

    Is there a netiquette for the reaction/like function?

    There isn't any one "etiquette" to using them. Different users use different reactions to different posts. Personally, I think the reactions are mostly self explanatory. I use agree if I agree with someone (sometimes also used if one has had a similar experience), informative if I learned...
