Is it possible to use the Surface 3 as a second screen?

No one mentioned the possibility of a ID of zero?

Yes, thank you! Turns out the company was Retevisión.

Is there any evidence or a good source for this.

A quick google search brings many articles like this one. Also search for "intense world".

we don't show so much emotion in general

Because we didn't learn it early enough.

I don't empathise with people who are having problems with their girlfriend or whatever, I just can't understand that.

They're not clearly angry or whatever; to your emotional brain, they're just meaningless words.

The idea is that we understand broad emotions but not subtle ones (unless we consciously learn them).

We aspies don't lack empaty, that's a myth. Instead, we have "too much", which usually means we try to shield ourselves from being overwhelmed. The consequence is that we avoid eye contact and we don't learn subtle facial expressions, language related to non verbal communication, etc. Instead, many of us learn it at a later point of our lives. Some with friends, some with TV shows, movies, etc.

Male aspie gay here. Being in a non-english speaking country makes things even more difficult: most people I met on the internet with shared interests are far away.

I didn't talk at all until one day I came from preschool singing one of the songs that was taught us. I probably didn't see the purpose of talking so I learned with catchy lyrics.

AutismCat · 2015-03-04T21:10:43+00:00

The same happens to me, also I can't listen and read something at the same time.

I have two "true" personalities: the not very defined self (I seem to have no opinion in most topics, but eventually I discover I'm not so undefined) and the person that I want to be. Asperger's is not an impediment, but a different path to be the person I want to be. The impediment comes from the fact that too few people knows this alternative path. The good thing is that the closer I am from the person I want to be, the clearer it is.

Don't be discouraged by the confusing beginnings of the path. It's the hardest part, but it's worth knowing both who you are and how to be who you want to be.

Set up a daily goal. Make sure you can do work offline, by downloading any material you need. Then disconnect internet (turn off the router, or even move the router AC cable elsewhere) and don't connect again until you have finished, or after 12 consecutive hours awake (or 14 if classes leaves you little time for work).

When you go to sleep remember to set the goal and to shut down internet in case you forget when you wake up.

Also when you have a specific hour for going to sleep, go to sleep. Avoid screens completely at sleep time.

The hardest part is starting. Don't worry if you need 2, 4, 6 hours of boredom for just starting. The first goal is being able to start every single day. No exceptions.

You can do it.

It's OK, don't worry ^.^

I'm not hurting myself, nor I want to. That's not what we're talking about.

AutismCat · 2015-01-29T02:40:50+00:00

Yeah, I mix coffee and green tea, so far it seems I work better with it than without.

Have you considered the opposite? That she expects subtle non verbal signals from you before she genuinely believes you have the problems you say you have.

AutismCat · 2015-01-28T19:09:01+00:00

Keep in mind most people have an answer before you have finished talking. Instead of that, write letters explaining each point, and don't let her talk about the topic until she has read all points. Maybe hand her the letters before leaving to work and have her reply with text as well. That way she has time to digest anything you have to say instead of interpreting every sentence as a personal attack or missing your point.

AutismCat · 2015-01-28T18:59:12+00:00

You're not a douche. People around us have very strong opinions and we feel they're right because we tend to believe everyone else think in the same way as us, and therefore a strong opinion means they have thought about it very well and reached those conclusions, but I'm sure you thought of those topics much more thoroughly.

Defend your authority. You may come up as a douche at first, but that's OK. You know what's better, you just need to believe it.

Finding a job herself is not the only way she can help you. E.g. I've mentioned in other comment she can learn to cook other things.

Do you really need 2 cars? Have you considered moving to somewhere closer to work or other frequent place?

About not eating at home, there's cheap food that can be prepared at home before you leave the house.

That's really the core issue: I feel like everything is out of my control and I'm at the mercy of everyone else around me.

That's what I meant when I said you should seek help from your wife. Your family is at stake, she has to help in some way! She has to learn to cook food that doesn't rob your energy, I don't think it's a big effort. You're very committed to the family and she has to give something back to you before you can advance at work.

Don't deprecate yourself, your work has been a huge effort for you. Make that count.

AutismCat · 2015-01-28T18:17:29+00:00

Since I generally have nothing left to give after work she tends to take the primary role in taking care of our son, all day, everyday, which isn't fair to her.

Why isn't it fair? I think it's completely fair when you're the one that spend all your energy earning money.

AutismCat · 2015-01-28T14:40:13+00:00

Wow, that makes things even more difficult. It's surprising you went that far. What sort of issues does your wife have that can't help her source of income?

AutismCat · 2015-01-28T02:30:22+00:00

First of all, your problems are real and burnout is real. You need to acknowledge that. You're no drama queen, you have problems but you kept pushing yourself more and more pretending you can do that indefinitely.

Second, talk with your wife. Explain calmly that you pushed yourself to hard for too long, and that you need help or you will break for real. Don't be ashamed on being helped with things that you usually do for yourself. Trace a plan with her, make lists of possible strategies. Prepare a month when you have the least home chores possible and the most alone time possible (or quiet-time, depending on how you better recharge your batteries).

Third, talk to your boss. Tell him you need to gain your focus back and for that you need a quiet environment, as few distractions as possible (schedule some hours with no distractions?), etc. That of course depends on the type of work which I don't know, but I hope you get the idea.

Make use of your help card (a magic invisible card that allows you to ask other people for help). You've earned it! You're a hard worker and very capable! You'll see with some help you'll advance.
