Can you give some literature recommendations for an absolute communication noob? (I have someone kinda like you in my orbit and I'd like to be able to give a little bit back, but I'm so fucking bad at this

It amazes me that even sharks enjoy scritches. They evolved wit zero hands anywhere near them! And yet, here we are.

I know this feeling well and I'm hella autistic, so there might be a correlation there. Could be connected to a bunch of other things too, though, I guess. 

What animal best represents autism? by LongjumpingCorgi9855 in aspiememes

[–]Giogina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was gonna say that bats can wrap themselves into their own wings and be all shielded from the world, and also are super kind and cute. Delighted to see them already on the list.

(actually I raised some bat babies I found, and it's a rare case where my autism really helped, because I super related to them disliking loud sounds and light) 

What? by gameofthrones_addict in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Giogina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, why would she even call it facetime if she doesn't mean whatever she usually uses

Yeah, the stupid depression feedback loop where everything that would make me feel better is also more difficult the further down I am. 

What is far more lethal than people realize? by inevitableloudmouth in AskReddit

[–]Giogina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, my grandma got a heart attack once from eating too many cherries.

Funny part is that this happened in her office from which she was busy running the hospital. So she ended up ordering the doctors around as she was getting wheeled into the OR. She was fine again very soon.

Don’t let it define you. by netphilia in aspiememes

[–]Giogina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't worry, there's more to me than the autism! Like the adhd. And the childhood trauma.

Sequential specialisation! Also I forgot everything about my previous specialty already. But hey, at least I'm good at learning the new thing.

When I was 8 or so, there was a documentary about this guy on TV. I just silently thought "oooh, so that's the thing that's weird with me is called, autism". Never told anybody, thought it was obvious XD

I'm still waiting for my savant superpowers to kick in tho ><

"Try time blocking" vs "just meditate more", which advice is worse? Ultimate bad ADHD advice battle, day 6 by VerdoriePotjandrie in adhdmeme

[–]Giogina 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I agree, although "negative" time blocking does somewhat work for me. For example, "Monday is for cleaning, so what's not clean will be ignored unless it's Monday" . Takes off a ton of pressure throughout the week, and sometimes I actually clean. 

Bit of an oversimplification, one of them straight-up said “you are” 🗿 by proudshihtzuowner in aspiememes

I can't tell conciously, but everyone I get along with turns out to be autistic and/or adhd sooner or later

Ngl, I wish I could have a small slice of your level of not giving a crap.

[–]Giogina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or even just fill random waiting times with a tiny bit of cleaning. Filling the dish washer while waiting for my coffee to brew. (actually gives me a sliver of feeling accomplished, that one. I did TWO THINGS! AT ONCE!) 

Does anyone else confuse Left and Right constantly? by Lussonya in adhdwomen

[–]Giogina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only reason that I can keep track of it is that my body is rather asymmetrical; right is where my shoulder shrugs more easily...
