    Lecturer thinks I have depression and ADHD not burnout

    Autistic Burnout is often misdiagnosed. And it's hard to find someone who does "get it" so I turned to Youtube. The Pandemic blew up my precarious balance and now I'm groping my way back. Lots of protein and real food has been an incredible help. Personally, I need far more protein than...

    Do not know what to do about this, anymore.

    I suspect they want something. But there's nothing in it for you. Write the letter, then forget about them.

    People don't believe or appreciate honesty

    I am an example of what can happen when bringing up an autistic child without difficult co-morbidities present at birth, OR imposed by the nurture such a child might get. Since I was born long before autism was known, I was seen as a “difficult and rebellious” child because I was a cis-het...

    Adoption studies are all about this. The best example I have heard of was how singer/songwriter Joni Mitchel was young, poor, pregnant, and gave her daughter up for adoption. The daughter was raised in a family which valued convention and favored practical over artistic concerns. They...

    Questions for ASDs who have sensitivities

    App would have far more usefulness. Take a picture with the app, make notes while there, etc.

    Telepathy in autistics

    Rumors of the military studying psychic phenomena, the men who star of goats kind of thing, were true, so I wonder about another one: that they got distance seeing to work, but dropped it because there wasn’t enough detail.

    Eating disorders and selective diet

    I had an eating disorder as a teen, which I managed to get better about. Eating low carb smoothed out my blood sugar highs and lows, which helped a lot. I fixed my disgestive issues with a course of Betaine HCL, and now my stomach can digest meat easily. I have gone ketogenic diet for my auto...

    People don't believe or appreciate honesty

    I can say that as soon as children can communicate and interact socially, we start to see a highly developed “sense of fairness” as in cookie size, bedtimes, all the comparisons that let them evaluate how they are treated.

    People don't believe or appreciate honesty

    I think they are more capable of “persona switching.” They literally are a different person according to the social role they are playing in each instance: parent, employee, boss, friend, stranger.

    People don't believe or appreciate honesty

    I think our brains leaning toward organization, systemization, and making things "fit together" is part of it. We cannot ignore our conscience as readily as others, because we actually strive to be a holistic person, not one of parts.

    How do you advocate for yourself?

    I like to state facts with a calm, pleasant expression. If their response does not address the facts I have laid out, I lay them out again. Still with the calm, quiet, "deadpan" as we say in comedy, a straight face. You are keeping your cool and being reasonable, your face and voice is...

    People don't believe or appreciate honesty

    I think a lot of Neurotypical have much more "ability?" to live in a world of illusion. I have a great imagination, but I don't cross the streams. I know what is reality and what is not. But I have worked with and known soooo maaaaany people who just believe what they want to believe. No...

    My Boss Said... email at work

    I often end with "Thanks," if I am asking for information or nudging them about something to be done.

    Inappropriate Social Behaviour

    I once talked down a gunman while two other people were frozen in fear. My mind goes into Vulcan Mode, you might say. While I tear up at sappy stuff like a commercial if it resonates with me.

    Inappropriate Social Behaviour

    I am basically inverse to the situation. But I do think I’m good in emergencies :cool:
