    An autism diagnosis may say something about how your mind works, but it says nothing about how well your mind works.

    Agreed. Though when the diagnostic process is outlined by those who formally consider it to be a "disorder", I don't see anything truly positive intended from it.

    Yeah, any diagnosis can be spun negatively. My problem is with people assuming that the diagnosis means you can't. Can't think for yourself, can't go out on your own, etc. They assume autism means your brain doesn't work right, when in actually, it just works differently.

    I think that's what you were saying, too. I do reserve the right to be wrong, though.

    Moses Proposes
    Moses proposes his own diagnosis
    But Moses proposes erroneously,
    For Moses' diagnosis is one of psychosis,
    But Moses is actually just ASD.

    I think I like this version better. Both are contrafacta of the original Moses Supposes.

    Many of the OT prophets seem to present as ASD.
    If you are hearing from God, you will probably be noted for thinking "outside of the box..." ;)

    This is a non sequitur, but when I think about all the historical figures who are oddballs in one sense or another, I remember this quote: "Reasonable people adapt themselves to their environment. Unreasonable people attempt to adapt their environment to themselves. Therefore, all progress is made by unreasonable people."

    Your poem reminds me of the ad slogan, "Nobody knows noses like Neosynephrine!"

    Moses Opposes
    Moses opposes his closest neurosis,
    But Moses opposes erroneously,
    For Moses’ neurosis is closer to Moses
    Than Moses without his neurosis would be.

    I’m like a were-extrovert. 99% of the time I’m an introvert, but once in a while I am seized by the impulse to socialize. Then I wake up the next day and wonder what horrors I committed while in that state.

    Do you mean that you literally can't remember what you did or did not do during those times?🤔

    It was a joking reference to the way people are after being a werewolf the night before. In this case, since I often commit social blunders and only realize it much later, it could refer to that.

    Does your new avatar/logo have any symbolic meaning?
    Nervous Rex
    Nervous Rex
    It’s a fictional glyph from a book series called, “The Stormlight Archive”, by my current favorite author, Brandon Sanderson. It means “Bridge Four”, the name of a team in the books.

    Your mesmo avatar is showing up as animated in all cases, now.
    (It used to be still in most cases...)

    Nice! I stole it from some other website because I couldn't stop staring at it. I've got no mechanical skill at all, but I would love to figure out how to make this in real life. Someday...when I have time and energy that I don't have now...

    This one, too. I could stare at it for hours and I want one in real life.
    Nervous Rex
    My morning routine keeps getting longer. I now do seven online puzzles every day, read for 10 minutes, and listen to a 15-minute podcast. I can’t figure out what to cut out.

    Oh, I know about needing to be careful about things becoming compulsions, that is best to deal with before it become a problem... nice that there is also some good in it - I like puzzles too :)

    Sounds nice to have routines in the morning.

    that just shows you’re taking care of your needs first 😊

    I have been talked down to, patronized, and insulted, but never so much as when the self-checkout station tells me to “place item in bag or cart, then scan next item” for 15 items in a row. Like, “I got it the first time. You can shut up now.”

    Lol. I actually prefer the self checkout though. I don't normally have issues with them and they're quicker. However I will say the times I do have issues with them it's always them telling me to put the item in the bagging area. I think it's because it's weighing everything to make sure a person doesn't not pay for an item.

    I've learned that most of those stations have volume controls, where you can actually mute her voice!

    Oh! I need to learn how to do that! I was thrilled to learn what button mutes the ads at the gas pump at the gas station near me (Maverik gas station, top right button at the pump).

    My brain is so weird. I woke up in the middle of the night and in my half-awake state I thought, "Oh, it looks like I fell awake."

    Watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy with my wife for the bajillionth time. We usually take about a week to watch the whole thing. Don’t be hasty!
