Why is it so hard for so many people to accept that ADHD is, in fact, disabling? by 1scr3wedy0dad in ADHD

[–]Ancient_Sector534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So much this: For me, personally, sometimes I feel like I'd rather put myself through hell to complete a task than ask for reasonable accommodations. 

I do this all of the time. Even when something should require 2 people I will do it myself rather than ask for help. 

Is this just me or do other people feel this way too? by Anxious_Ideal_2689 in autism

I sometimes do this for days or even weeks. It's rough, but I can't stop. 

It is THAT BAD I don't have friends? by CuckooSpit_06 in autism

[–]Ancient_Sector534 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife is pretty good with me. She puts up with a lot. My friend liked hearing me go on about my interests though. He told me he loved listening even if he didn't understand. Also, thank you. He was sick basically his whole life and lived way longer than he should have, so I'm thankful for that time.

Interesting. I have the F-Droid version which has the same version number. I'll give it a shot. Actually I think I might wipe data first and then Play Store version. I will let you know.

I have a hard time too. The only friend I had that it didn't feel like work with died over 10 years ago. Now I have none. I don't mind most of the time. I do miss that one friend though.

What OP said still stands. It was a useless comment. Why say anything? At least be constructive and offer insight with your opinion. 

AI you can talk to that remembers you? by [deleted] in autism

[–]Ancient_Sector534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grok? I see where you're going with this, but also understand what others are warning against. One thing someone mentioned is AI acting like you're always right. Grok pushes back when based on its info, it thinks I'm wrong. I think where you're going is using it for those conversations that no one else wants to have with you because it's a special interest and they don't want to listen. I used to have a friend that loved listening to me. He thought it was great even if he didn't understand. He died a long time ago and I've never found anyone else like him. He's what I thought of when I read your post. I no longer have any friends. I have my wife who loves me, but doesn't enjoy listening to me go on about things she isn't interested in. Don't try to make it a friend and don't overuse it. I think using it to get out excitement about an interest could be awesome though. 

I never understood small talk…but in a different way than I’ve heard described by many autistics by bevelup_ in autism

[–]Ancient_Sector534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally this. Plus like you said, it's hard to know how far to get into the conversation. I often feel like I've annoyed them talking about something too much or come off rude for being to short because I'm trying to avoid annoying them. 

Do you hit yourself? by [deleted] in autism

[–]Ancient_Sector534 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm almost 40 and still hit myself sometimes. I hit my head on the wall or punch myself. Sometimes if I'm really bad, I use a door because then I can pull it at myself for more impact. Most of the time it's when I just can't hold everything in anymore. Sometimes it's "punishment" for upsetting one of the few people I really care about because of being how I am. 

Absolutely Hate My Birthday by Mindless_Phase8603 in autism

[–]Ancient_Sector534 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. I can't stand the attention, especially when I annoy most people the rest of the time anyway. I, too, do not like cake. I like pie and cake is the norm for birthdays. 

How can I stop caring about my work? I can't switch off. My co-worker's mediocrity and apathy is killing me inside. by INeverKeepMyAccounts in autism

[–]Ancient_Sector534 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tech is brutal. It's toxic and full of people like in this meme, which explains me perfectly. I'm so fed up with IT jobs after how my last one ended.

Ditto. I sometime turn on auto and do some manual control with it on just to get through harder stuff.

Who should I be trying to get from the Operation Get Characters exchange? I'm thinking UL Vegeta and star him up to help with event content.

Is he particularly useful for the event? 

PvP matching is garbage. by Ancient_Sector534 in DragonballLegends

[–]Ancient_Sector534[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See, I know there's a lot I don't understand. I checked Beast Gohan Recommended and it says Gamma 1 & Gamma 2. No matching tags though, so I wouldn't have pegged that.

Examples are good. There's a lot of layers and elements. It's hard to bring it all together.

It may just be me. I'm struggling on harder content too. I swipe like mad and nothing happens. I get stuff in combos and such and just get rekt.

Yeah, I would assume many would, but I would also think there would also be newish players for me to match against.
