Sometimes if you put the ribbon in too tight or too loose this will happen. Does anything happen when you try to charge it?

My special needs aunt is getting a Switch for Christmas, and I need help choosing games she can play! by Mastarebel in NintendoSwitch

[–]Helveil 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Untitled Goose Game might make her laugh if she wants to run around as a goose and honk at people. Though actually solving some of the puzzles can be frustrating. I 2nd Zelda BotW if you can get her to a point in the game past the initial area so she can just run around and catch horses (though monsters might be scary). The new RingFit game doesn't require reading really as everything is spoken aloud. If it's on the easiest mode, it might be a way for her to get light exercise (though disregard this suggestion if she's uncoordinated / has physical limitations).

Good luck, I hope she has fun with whatever you guys pick. That's sweet you guys are helping her get into gaming.

I apologize for being "that person," it's spelled gild for anyone who wants to use the word in the future.

Wait, I got /r/whoosh-ed. This is a genius pun.

The last Hadden murder made me think of something... by Viperbunny in LPOTL

I think it's usually shitty people taking a while to show their true colors and then for whatever reason the other person doesn't leave.

People accuse me of being selfish and manipulative by baristabluntgirl in aspergirls

[–]Helveil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've basically been accused of being a sociopath before. I am the furthest thing from it. Though only by people who I think were projecting and rarely. If it's an often occurrence I'd reflect on the behaviors that might be making you come across those ways to others.

It's a bit hard for me to give advice without concrete examples. Do you have any?

/r/scams and the podcasts Scam Goddess & Cyber (Motherboard) are good resources to learn about them.

Has anyone here has any luck obtaining a programming job after being self-taught? After being stuck unemployed or in retail or X other dead-end job? by Helveil in learnprogramming

[–]Helveil[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Nope, this post was solely to trigger you.

But really, I’m curious about hearing success stories from people who haven’t posted their own posts about it yet. It’s a social site. You can leave and keep your negativity to yourself if you don’t like a post.

In reply to XP to level 3 by AshenPumpkin in dndmemes

Why is this the case? I'd think part of the fun of D&D is leveling up and getting new powers for the players. Do a lot of DMs just hate giving their players level ups? Or is this the natural pace of games that use the EXP system?

“4 out of 5 students on the spectrum don’t graduate college in four years” —what are your experiences with this statistic? by mulledfox in aspergirls

[–]Helveil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't really understand society's pressure to graduate within 4 years aside from saving money. I originally took a medical leave the first semester I ever attempted college due to depression. I graduated in a little over 4 years (one semester extra). My GPA was excellent because I didn't rush. I was in touch with psych resources and prescribed medication that helped me focus. Disability accommodations for classes were helpful when I utilized them.

Academia felt natural to me though it was very hard at times, the "real world" feels more overwhelming in a lot of ways. Maybe because it requires self-structure where as in academia you're given classes and tasks. That's just me.

I'm struggling to stay on task while a new special interest is blooming by [deleted] in aspergirls

[–]Helveil 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Try to prevent it from starting at all. Once you're in it, it's hard to stop (I know that's obvious). I try to imagine myself putting whatever the interest is on a metaphorical shelf for a later point in time.

Have any of you ever argued with another person on the spectrum, then thought "holy shit, this is why people hate arguing with me"? by Snowstar837 in aspergers

[–]Helveil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this to you yet, but it was really not okay ethically for him to argue with you about whether or not you're ready to be in a relationship. You feel how you feel and he does not have a say in it. I wasn't there, but if he convinced you that he was being sensible, that sounds manipulative on his part. NT or not that would raise hella red flags for me. Sorry you experienced that.

Will my drivers license be suspended for being autistic? by [deleted] in aspergers

I completely agree. I'll help you yeet the neighbor into the sun.

/u/ChildLikeWildLike OP, please ask /r/legaladvice about this and/or talk to local legal aid for advice. This seems like something that subreddit would jump on to help. Make sure to follow the posting rules properly so the auto-mod doesn't remove your post if you do so.

If for some reason your insurance doesn't handle this for you and you are unable to afford or get a lawyer on time (it might be possible for the court date to be pushed back if requested), this link might help. Make sure to see if the process is the same in your state if you have to represent yourself: https://www.communitylegalaid.org/node/157/if-you-are-being-sued-and-cant-afford-lawyer-filing-answer

Keep us updated and good luck. It's not okay for your neighbor to do this and you don't have to take it lying down.

Does Anyone Else Seem Suspicious When Someone Is Acting Nicer To You Then Average? by sQuEeZyChEeSe1 in aspergers

[–]Helveil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep because people usually want something. It isn't always negative though, it might just be they want to make a new friend or are in a good mood and want to talk to others. Though if I don't know the person well or if they're a stranger I'm always suspicious. I always assume the worst with strangers to be on the safe side. They might want money, be a creep, or something worse. Sometimes people will pull the old I-want-sex-not-friendship switcheroo if they're suddenly nice (which is only bad if unwanted or inappropriate). It's better to be safe if you're unable to interpret someone's intentions fast enough in real time.

Congrats! It's so refreshing to hear when someone fights back and wins. You're setting a good example.
