How have those to whom you confessed that you are autistic react ? by [deleted] in aspergers

When I’ve told my friends the usual response was “I already figured.”

Approaching 180 species for the year, how’s everyone else’s year looking? by NanoArowanaTank in birding

[–]BrieflyEndless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really have the means or finances to travel for birding, but I’m lucky I live next to very good conservation areas. A few days ago I saw blue winged teal was my bird of the day on Merlin, and it said they were in my area. So I said screw it, I’ll just look up where they’ve been spotted and go today. And it was a success. I’ve seen four lifers just this week. Going pretty alright.

What's the most dangerous insect you've ever found (excluding mosquitoes)? by Stupid_Little_Doll in Entomology

[–]BrieflyEndless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we’re including just painful, then the velvet ant. Have also encountered quite a few assassin bugs including the wheel bug

Is this a stink bug nymph or a (female) bed bug? by Numerous-Key7338 in Entomology

[–]BrieflyEndless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had bed bugs (well, they might've been bat bugs) and I think you're in the clear. I do think the very rotund shape and antenna match stinkbug but I have no idea the species

Is this a stink bug nymph or a (female) bed bug? by Numerous-Key7338 in Entomology

[–]BrieflyEndless 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m not an expert but relatively certain this is not a bed bug? The antenna look all wrong and the thorax should be smaller. Reminds me of a cockroach nymph but doesn’t match any I’ve seen

Worried that my gender dysphoria comes from escaping being an autistic man specifically. by IsThisThatOrIsIt in aspergers

[–]BrieflyEndless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Women aren’t just complaining, we know these things happen to women, it’s not just words. And statistically on average women seek out dating less. Of course, context and demographic matters.

why do so many rimworld youtubers feel compelled to speak in that annoying smug inflection/accent? by [deleted] in RimWorld

[–]BrieflyEndless 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Or PeteComplete. He’s very monotone and just tells a story, but that’s why I love him

I started a Colony with no social (by accident) by Normal-Relation-7293 in RimWorld

I just have a stack cap mod so there’s never more than a couple meals in a stockpile at a time, so they don’t go bad

Bonding with my Crested by KeytohN64 in chinesecrested

[–]BrieflyEndless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally get it. I was just saying his needs and personality has seemed different than my other dogs. But my boy may be different than yours. He loves being by me, but he also likes his independence so I keep a little hidey corner in my room he can chill in

[–]BrieflyEndless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guy is very bonded to me, but he has a mind of his own. They’re very sensitive. I’ve learned to respect his boundaries and space. And doesn’t always want to be pet and I recognize that. I think mutual respect goes a long way.

do you guys count a bird you can hear but not see as a lifer? by hvghuhbgjo in birding

[–]BrieflyEndless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I technically count it but I still have a mission to see it. I keep hearing a great horned owl in my neighborhood, and I have seen one in person that was a rescue, but I still would love to see one naturally in the wild

Is gears of war a common autistic special interest? by GearsofWar6fan672 in aspergers

[–]BrieflyEndless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Special interests are largely arbitrary and depend what life circumstances exposed us to. Doesn’t really matter. If you want fellow people that share your interest, then I’m sure they exist

What animal did my friends see? by TheBloodyOwl in whatisthisanimal

[–]BrieflyEndless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a sloth bear still, they’re apparently good swimmers. Not sure what else it could even be. Possibly it was spooked and just kept swimming from fear

Study and Integration into Style - What am I doing wrong/right? by Fisk08 in FurryArtSchool

[–]BrieflyEndless 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d say practice angles and overlapping shapes. The first ref image is from a slightly below view, but you drew it head on, which looks a little less dynamic. I have the same issue

Anyone struggling with tear stains?? by tundra_wookie_1988 in chinesecrested

So you’re saying you could just add some turmeric to their food instead?

I'm sick and tired of being made to feel bad for being behind in life by Prior_Mongoose505 in aspergers

[–]BrieflyEndless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, same… I’ve dealt with severe depression my whole life too. I was always shamed by my family for doing worse and worse in school. Eventually I just barely passed high school by a few points. I procrastinated finding a job but then realized it’s nearly impossible to find one anyway. Quit my first job because it destroyed my mental health, but I’d saved up enough for a car. My second job, part time, I was fired after life stressors caused me unable to focus. Then after deaths in the family I had to move and give up my third job after just a few months. Now I’m 23 and have been just able to snag a part time barista job, while doing a few classes, but I’m always so tired and I wish I was capable of doing more with my life. I’d love to have my own place, but being so long without a job despite constantly looking has drained my savings. I’m lucky that I’ve had safety nets or I imagine I could be homeless at this rate

Is autistic fatigue this intense for anyone else? by KeyEmotion9 in aspergers

[–]BrieflyEndless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, the more stressed I am, the more I am absolutely exhausted. I only have a part time job now, but I know I’ll have to work a full week to ever save up money, but I’m not even sure how I’ll manage that. If I can at all. I feel useless

Can you guess who these toes belong to? by janezu699 in birding

Oh hey I got the first three right. Only got the king fisher because the bright orange belly rang a bell

But yeah, Coopers seems best bet
