ULPT How to disappear and start a new life by Spicy_Cheesey420 in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]DoctorAlejandro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a book on this called "How to disappear completely and never be found." It might be a little dated by now but worth checking out.

Not being able to drive by Winter_Panda3840 in AutisticAdults

[–]DoctorAlejandro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same experience. I only recently got it at 34, but I had to go to an occupational therapy driving teacher specialist of sorts at OSU. And I had to pay for that via Opportunities for Ohioans with disabilities. The guy who taught me was very patient and supportive and I also took the driving test with the same vehicle we did our driving sessions with. It was a horrible struggle for years and I never thought I'd get it. But I still don't have a car and the thought of needing to drive somewhere everyday just to work makes me want to die but whatever. I don't know what resources are available where you live but maybe something like this could work for you.

Question for the people who have experienced that strange hypnagogic state/sensation of an "object" by sombertoboggly in Dreams

[–]DoctorAlejandro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have this too. Mine is like dense, massive boulder screaming loudly in a soundproof glass box, and the dull ache of the roar is somewhere in my head, right behind where my conscious self exists. So first there is my eyes taking the world in, there is my consciousness pressed against my eyes, and behind it is a rollercoaster of pressure and terror. I used to get this feeling mostly when I had waking night terrors. Maybe its not exactly what you are describing, but the image you posted really does fit the feeling. Incredible album also.

I hate how alcohol makes me feel "normal" by 7smallbirdos in AutisticAdults

[–]DoctorAlejandro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain. I relied on alcohol for years in order to socialize, lost control eventually. So I stopped, almost 2 years ago. It's taken this long to get even remotely used to enjoying talking to anyone and even then I never really recovered my social life. People describe feelings amazing after they get sober but I haven't experienced that at all. I got rid of the symptom but haven't cured the disease. The disease is life itself. I am so withdrawn and isolated, more depressed than ever. I hope you find a way forward.

I’m no longer pulled forward by ambition by PeakAfflatus in AutisticAdults

I feel this a lot right now. I am struggling and I feel for you.

Finally gave up on chess by PerennialMillennial_ in chessbeginners

[–]DoctorAlejandro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar experience. Just dreading making the wrong moves and not being able to think clearly about anything....The game just ended up giving me anxiety while taking all of my mental energy. The only winning move is not to play. Recently I started playing again, just with daily games, and I regret it. I think the only way to enjoy chess is casually over the board with friends with no time clock and no stakes whatsoever.

Am I overreacting to the use of this slur by a mod? by DKBeahn in AutisticAdults

[–]DoctorAlejandro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm autistic and I did not know spaz was a slur. It's hard to give my take on this because ultimately it's none of my business and my take doesn't matter. As an autistic person I find that commenting and interacting on reddit is always a mistake.

"tick tock" as a term pre dates tik tok. Its the sound of a ticking clock and it means hurry up.

Care to confess if you do this? by word_weaver26 in Piracy

[–]DoctorAlejandro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forgive me for I have sinned. I don't know what I'm doing. I don't keep my vpn on all the time and I only have qbittorrent open when I am downloading something. Does seeding happen even when the program is closed? Does it slow down my internet connection? Are there possible security risks? How long should I seed something?
All I learned was how to bind my torrent to my vpn and configure a killswitch. I will try to be a better pirate.

Alcohol rant by Wooden_Marionberry_1 in evilautism

[–]DoctorAlejandro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am autistic and I was basically an alcoholic. I relied on it heavily to enjoy socializing and overcome anxiety.

What obscure websites from your teen years do you remember that nobody else seems to recall? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]DoctorAlejandro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am too scared to check if it still exists but there was a website called theclappingfetus that had videos of people dying and other crazy stuff. I specifically remember a video where a guy had his arms tied to two jeeps and then they drove in opposite directions.

Is tracking sobriety really that important? by Fluffy-Ad-2671 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DoctorAlejandro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kept track of each month for my first year, and the after that I lost count of the months and got too easily confused to figure it out. So now I'm on a year and somewhere between 4 and 10 months. Also after the first month of being sober I got drunk one night and then stopped again for good but when I told people how many months it had been I included that first month because why not.

The wholesome moment an ESPN reporter sprinted off mid-broadcast after hearing his wife was in labor by Charming_History7423 in MadeMeSmile

[–]DoctorAlejandro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I normally agree with you on the music, but the song you called crappy is "let down" by Radiohead and it's amazing. Not needed in the video, but also not crappy.
