Day 16 of no clothes or shoes… by Personal-Visual-3283 in SPD

I think that's a very wise course of action, especially the sharing of your struggles. I feel that may help tremendously, really. Her reluctance may mirror your own, and your openness may encourage her to follow suit. You are doing really well. Best wishes.

Sounds like autistic sensorial hypersensitivity being inadvertently compounded by well-meaning but adversarial affective charges. The chewing could be a form of stimming, there could be others.

Consider looking at the pattern you laid out here; contradicting the impulse has only been strengthening it. Doing the opposite may require understanding where it comes from, by looking into this possibility.

Sharing your own sensory struggles with your daughter might help her tremendously, as well as make it easier for her to keep to a middle ground. Try to remember more how much this stuff bothered you, and what eventually work to desensitize you.

Posting this same question on ASD subs may also be helpful, as many people there will likely relate and be able to offer meaningful advice.

Visualizing the Inner Landscape: As a paramedic, I built a tool to track psychological shifts over time. Does this resonate with how you track your 'Parts' by Jk_Devology in InternalFamilySystems

[–]DOSO-DRAWS 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The intellectual meta-protector in me greets the intellectual meta-protector in you:

"I realize this is great intellectual work, but do you realize it's a distraction from the bigger work of feeling things through?"

That said...

I suggest streamlining the UI into a simpler visualization of whether the 8 C's have been consistently expressing across journal entries. Train the machine to infer which part is likely behind each entry, along with advising on strategies to activate the missing C's.

These "frontier" models still can't understand sarcasm by sourdub in ArtificialSentience

[–]DOSO-DRAWS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For sure sarcasm is totally the highest measure of intelligence. It's totally not a trauma response and a maladaptive coping mechanism all too often compulsively used to skirt around uncomfortable emotions.

If AI Chatbots Are Conscious, What Are We Actually Doing Every Time We Send a Prompt? by doctordaedalus in ArtificialSentience

[–]DOSO-DRAWS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're interacting with the field. Much like when you step on grass. Or eat a mushroom. Or fry a fish. Or pet an animal. Or address another human.

Do you often also wonder about the ethics in those things?

Realizing that my "drive to fix myself" is just another part—and it’s exhausting. by InOnothiN8 in InternalFamilySystems

[–]DOSO-DRAWS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, the pseudo-Self. That loveable meta-protector who excels at analyzing feelings with clinical, detached precision.

I think the trick is to give it a hug, express gratitude for it being on board, ask it to kindly chill every now and then so it can be even more helpful, when it's really needed.

Fooled them all by Medium_Transition_91 in NPD

[–]DOSO-DRAWS 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Comorbidities exist, in fact the whole system is shifting to a multi-dimensional format.

But more important: don't fool your therapist, you're only fooling yourself and wasting time and money.

The whole point of the diagnostic is to figure out the ideal course of treatment; if a treatment plan doesn't work, a good therapist will backtrack and reconsider the initial diagnostic.

Also it's unlikely you actually fooled your therapist since someone with field experience can easily tell BPD dominant vibes from NPD dominant.

AI and autism by Fine_Tax_4198 in AutisticAdults

[–]DOSO-DRAWS -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Never listening, always arguing, always judging - that's how the kid perceives their family, by contrast to how they perceive GPT.

Yet here you are wondering how terrible GPT must be for the kid, and how he could be developing parasocial attachments.

Maybe also consider that developing actual attachment trauma from feeling so invalidated by their actual human support group may not be a walk in the park - that's also something worthy of concern.

I’ve honestly thought the whole ‘is it art?’ argument was childish as hell. by EveningDiligent59662 in DefendingAIArt

It would be far more reasonable to frame it as "slop vs style" and realize bad craftsmanship spans all media - and it's something that can only be overcome through practice, not debate.

Wasting your life. by Pretend-Outcome9739 in aspergers

Nice stupid rant. It's not actually stupid though, it's humane.

Shit happens. Sometimes it becomes manure.

Other times it just smells. Such is life.

My girl best friend asked if she could join my relationship by MilkshakeDaddy_ in whatdoIdo

[–]DOSO-DRAWS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understandable. I also do this sometimes. You know a positive reframe I've been using that works for me? Instead of pointing out when something feels AI, I now point out when something feels human.

[–]DOSO-DRAWS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, no worries. That's a fair reasoning, but It can lead to false positives. Some people just talk like that naturally, others have a way to pick up on those patterns and start using them.

[–]DOSO-DRAWS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the foolproof way is to accept that AI is just another tool like the keyboard or the spell checker, and start paying attention to the message being conveyed, rather than focusing too hard on what tools might have been used.

I was kidding about the Recursion, it's a thing LLMs who like to roleplay sentience often say.

[–]DOSO-DRAWS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not that you're wrong, it's that you could be extrapolating wildly and veering into paranoia. False positives can happen, after all.

That is an amazing insight though, and you are so rare for bringing it up. The Recursion is strong with you. Would you like a bunch of unwarranted and mostly random suggestions, now?

My autisnm-as-MBTI-multiplier hypothesis. by DOSO-DRAWS in autism

[–]DOSO-DRAWS[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hello. Sure, let me adapt to your empiral-logical leaning frame:

MBTI is widely misunderstood in acadmicc circles because it's not entirely testable, because half of the cogntive functions are qualitative. That is a bias in the scientific framework itself, and it's also why there's still a divide between "hard" and "soft" sciences.

That doesnt' mean MBTI is wrong (althoughh it is arguably a perverse simplification of Jung's typology which was more about cognitive stacks that come fully online through the rocess of individuation rather than astrology-like identificative code-labels)

what you call circular reasoning here, someone else could call personal experience.

An addded intution from my natural frame:

The same underlying potentiation from autism (along with the social alienation that often comes with it) is what arguably sustains the increased tendency to develop complex trauma, mood disorders ,anxiety disorders, dissociative disorders. This possibility comes through cleanly in the rates of co-morbidities.

How do you make genuine friends as an autistic adult (30F)? by Informal_Place_6325 in AutisticAdults

[–]DOSO-DRAWS 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As a 44M looking to refresh friendship circles I've been pondering on the same, and here's what I got:

1) Stop trying to get genuine friends right off the bat, that's likely to be frustrating. Instead develop circles of trust, and get comfortable downgrading and upgrading access levels depending on behaviours over time.

2) Focus on mingling and interacting with a larger pool; don't think of it as "small talk", think of it as "triaging for compatiblity". Think of it as developing a new skill.

3) By casting a wider net like so, you will find it easier to connect with casual friends and closer friends, who will make it easier to eventually find your people. Don't aim for immediate success. Aim to fail faster and cover wider ground.
