    Another, “Uncertain If...” New Guy

    My wife is pretty bang on at picking up where my blind spots. While it is theoretically possible that I could be on the spectrum, it is more likely and more natural that I am heavily influenced by the ADHD I have denied, ignored, and suppressed for close to 30 years. Things compounded on me...

    Problem making decisions / choices (ambivalence)

    With a die, I could cut the process from “Burgers or Chicken? “Chicken (dang)” “Popeyes or KFC?” “...Popeyes or Zaxby’s?” “...I guess we’ll get Zaxby’s, (even though Arby’s sounds good and I like H. Jon Benjamin in that commercial)” To “Ok, three (according to the manual) is whatever we had...

    Another, “Uncertain If...” New Guy

    I had noticed the Schumer ads, they reminded me of the time my wife mentioned autism in a way that wasn’t blunt enough for me to understand how serious she intended at least a year ago. Someone I do watch on YouTube happened to be discussing anxiety recently and it seemed familiar but not...

    Self-control, impulse control

    If you had finished with “That’s when I remembered that I had put my room key under the tongue of my shoe ,because that would surely irritate me enough to remember where I put it” I would have related even more than I already do.

    Self-control, impulse control

    Yes. I think that I would survive without support, but not thrive

    Self-control, impulse control

    I feel that I do struggle with controlling myself/impulses but I would even more if I didn’t have my wife to bluntly tell me what she needs me to do when my momentum goes in the wrong direction. I guess it also helps that the noises I make that other people can notice bug her too. Publicly, I...

    What song are you listening to right now?

    Artist Neil Young Song Old Man Artist Disturbed Song Animal (I like the decision to label that way, the ambiguity when I’m looking at a car radio throws me off in songs that don’t use the title within its lyrics)

    Problem making decisions / choices (ambivalence)

    I flip a coin sometimes and try not to stress terribly hard over which decision Is represented by heads or tails. (But I almost always over-invest in that anyway). Wife would prefer that I not do that but it saves me some energy. Of course this is only for so called “trivial” decisions. “Where...

    How Do You Feel About Being Alone?

    I’m not a fan of complete solitude. I would love to have maybe two or three people around that didn’t make me feel like I have to speak.

    Resurrecting A Very Old PC Joystick

    Yeah but I bet a vcr would be more fun to look at than a DVD player, I have opened a DVD player in the past year just to look and didn’t find anything I felt comfortable playing with lol. Not even sure that I took any parts to hoard. My brother had/has a drone and a drone sim , it’s not...
