    Oppinions needed: Faulty asessment meeting?

    Mine acted like it was obvious that I'm autistic. It wasn't an asessment, just a visit. She also said that adult psychological asessment is taxing and unneccesary. I agree, because I don't see how it could do anything for me. It can be useful under some circumstances such as getting unemployment...

    Oppinions needed: Faulty asessment meeting?

    It sounds like the asessment was directed at the higher end of support needs, not ASD-1 / less severe end of Asperger's syndrome. It does happen. I know such people. They are otherwise successful in life. But certainly it's not reflective of all people on the autism spectrum. People who don't...

    Misconceptions about meditation

    Me too, but I never understood why or how that interferes with attention. How does it work? I imagine synesthesia has to be distracting, though.

    Anyone else here practice witchcraft??

    I don't practice with anyone else either, I got to know some books and other resources on the internet, so I borrow from others in this sense, but not common practice. Me too. Mostly cleansing and protection nowadays. The rest, as I said, it does work in some way, but I'm not sure of the...

    Misconceptions about meditation

    I never understood what is so hard about concentrating even in a busy environment. For me it's rather draining or unpleasant than distracting. The idea has to be more suitable for some temperaments or minds than others.

    Routine changes

    I don't have much advice. I would simply advise to take your time, not be rough on yourself - it also helps me to not take many tasks at once. 11 major tasks for one day would be way too much for me, for example. I usually limit them to 3 maybe 5 max. When it comes to other people, including...

    Misconceptions about meditation

    I like incense, candles and mantras, but that's another story ;) And crystals. I find it easier and more pleasant to focus, when there is something to anchor my senses on.

    Still Using Windows 10 Beyond Oct.14th 2025 ?

    I have a PC that I built myself and run Linux on it. I don't need anything that runs on Windows only, such as Microsoft Office. I use Libre Office and it's enough for my needs. I don't do anything too fancy with text documents or spelreadsheets. I keep a lot of things for work on Google Drive...

    Autistic Intuition

    My autism symptoms lie rather in sensory issues, not social deficits, so I have never experienced a worse or different than neurotypical intuition. If anything, I have a sharper intuition than most people have. The way people define intuition varies. I would say it's information being...

    Do you believe there's extraterrestrial life out there?

    No, that's exactly what he and others in power in Russia do, this whole hybrid and psychological war thing. They will keep on poking to see how far they can go, testing boundaries and how much bullying which country takes, and to see what they provoke. It's hardly the first time Russian drones...

    Do you believe there's extraterrestrial life out there?

    No, not all comets have tails (Wikipedia): So the tails are visible only as the comet passes near the star. If it never had a tail, it would be an asteroid. And this photograph has a really long exposure time, long enough for the object to move during this time. I would do the same if I was...

    Are you understood?

    I also was about to write that not being understood by others is rather universal, so I wouldn't get my hopes up too high that NT people feel understood.

    How did you find Christianity?

    I was about to ask how you reconcile teachings of the Church about mental health and disability and being autistic yourself. But there was a number of posts that clarified how many of you are Christians and don't agree with the more condemning, hateful teachings. I also get the impression that...
