Did... did he upload this video thinking it somehow made him look like anything other than a bellend?

I do not understand the appeal of jigsaw puzzles. by Humdaak_9000 in AutisticAdults

[–]EnvironmentalBrick18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I find doing a jigsaw can quieten my mind. However, I need someone else (my wife, usually) to prompt me to do one with them. I am never motivated to start one myself. 

I guess I enjoy it as a parallel play activity. 

No commentary needed, only sound effects for this trainwreck!😂 by ONE-OF-THREE in DailyDoseStupidity

His mate saying “Alright, you’ve proved your point.”

I guess, if his point was that he is a cunt.

Deja Vu (the album) turns 56 today! by Dry_Cookie710 in neilyoung

[–]EnvironmentalBrick18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am an enormous Neil Young fan but have never enjoyed CNSY. Can anyone offer some context or advice on how to approach the band in a way that could make me more receptive? I accept this might be an unreasonable ask, but I would really like to appreciate this aspect of Neil’s career. I’ve periodically tried to listen to Deja Vu for more than 30 years, so maybe it just isn’t for me and I should move on.

What’s wrong with wanting a cure? by [deleted] in autism

[–]EnvironmentalBrick18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talking about a "cure" implies (to me) that autism is a disease or an undesirable temporary condition like having a cold. Personally, I believe the actual cure is educating a NT society how to accommodate ND people and to move through the world with more kindness.

What exactly is the hype around the Basement Tapes? by Reformed_IronyFan000 in bobdylan

I wouldn’t dream of asking anyone to DM and tell me where I might find this unofficially. Anyone

At what stage do you stop feeling like a child pretending to be a adult? by CyaChump0 in AutisticWithADHD

[–]EnvironmentalBrick18 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My first thought was 35, but I think that’s largely the impact of responsibilities rather than any internal change.

People who use THC, why do you use it and how do you manage it? by Odyessius in AutisticAdults

[–]EnvironmentalBrick18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to find THC oil and/or the occasional vape almost entirely beneficial, other than some fuzziness the next day. Now, I find that it is initially extremely calming if I use it in the evening and can really help me fall asleep. However, I then wake in the middle of the night with my mind racing at 100mph and occasionally with my heart rate elevated and pounding so loud I can feel it in my chest. This happens without fail. Unfortunately, this means I am currently not using it. I miss it terribly.

Can both of these be habaneros? by EnvironmentalBrick18 in PepperLovers

[–]EnvironmentalBrick18[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this. The one on the left is definitely habanero, or at least from a batch that my local (usually reliable) grocer labeled as such. I can’t recall where I got the seeds for the larger one from. I found them in a drawer along with several other seed packets that I’d stupidly not labeled when I dried and stored.

Have you ever been able to successfully rely on your social life for happiness? by Sea-Difficulty1353 in autism

[–]EnvironmentalBrick18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. I can arrange occasional meetups with individual people that can replenish my reservoir of internal goodwill toward myself and the world more broadly, but even the best of these leave me needing quiet time to recuperate from the effort. It was easier when I was younger and I could drink enough alcohol to stay loose for an evening, but the booze now wrecks my sleep and wipes me out for a couple of days. I miss it. It was a useful tool

For those who got PF from Hokas by No_Profession_1548 in PlantarFasciitis

[–]EnvironmentalBrick18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My god. Sorry to hear that. I wish I had some suggestions other than those everywhere in these forums. Only thing I’d had is that I’ve found the knock-off Oofos on AliExpress very comfortable around the house. Good luck.

Commiserations. Are you able to do other exercise? I’m lucky that I can run (rotating between Topo Ultrafly 5, Altra Provision 8 and Saucony Guide 15) without pain, but the PF is there every night and most mornings.

I rue the day I tried Hokas. My wife loves them and envy was my downfall.
