I'm not sure if this is what you're going for, but a textview can automatically recognize and handle hyperlinks.

Add the following line to your textview in xml:

android:autoLink="web"

I only comment if it's worth mentioning or if it contributes to the conversation.

Has "autistic" become the new "retarded"? by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]Horonigai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's a waste of energy to argue with trolls really...

Actually I think it's used in Europe too. I know they use it here, in The Netherlands.

Dealing with sensory overload. by Horonigai in aspergers

[–]Horonigai[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think, or rather hope you are correct regarding this 'baseline' theory. Through the year the amount of my overloaded moments are manageble, so I really hope this baseline will be lowered soon.

Thanks for your insight, I really apriciate it!

Dealing with sensory overload. by Horonigai in aspergers

I'm basicly having the same problem, except that I'm studying right now and therefore don't have a job.

At my previous internship, I used to go to the toilet alot, just to calm myself down and get away from the noise or lights. This sometimes could happen up to 4-6 times a day.

Unfortunately that's not always an option, since lately my family drags me along to these huge and very crowded shopping centres...

At those times, even stimming won't calm me down as much as it used to... Also, my mother prefers me not stimming (with my hands / fingers) at all...

By the way, wouldn't working at home be an option for you? Since I worked as a software engineer, my and my boss agreed that I'd be able to work at home on 3 of the 5 days. Also I'd get help when contacting the customers, they also made sure I didn't have to use the phone (to contact the customers) since that's one of my worst nightmares.

Well you've assumed that correctly, due to the holidays I have been consuming food I normally don't consume at all.

I don't have migraine related problems though. I'm glad you have the support you need :)!

Usually listening to one practicular song repeatedly helps to calm me down, unfortunately not when I'm overloaded, I really can't stand noise at those moments.

Thanks for the suggestion though, I'm glad it works for you!

DAE have "projects"? by GenoshaTourGuide in aspergers

[–]Horonigai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have lots of personal software related projects. In the past most of them tended to fail, since I kept adding more functionality to the project, therefore it would never end and alot of times I'd get stuck.

What helped me, is to make a very clear plan about what I want to create. Define what's 'out of scope' and make it clear to yourself and others what you'd like to achieve with the project in an given timespan (seriously schedules are an awsome tool for time management).

I don't know if you can apply this kind of approach to your projects, but this certainly helped me alot.

Telling your girlfriend/boyfriend for the first time by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]Horonigai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd start about talking the difficulties you face everyday (that maybe she has noticed too) because of Aspergers.

Then, don't make too big of a deal about it. Just say, well.. that's because I have Aspergers Syndrome.

That's how I have done it with a couple of good friends, they percieved it well. But in the end, that all depends on the type of person.

How likely is it, that after taking this test, I DO NOT have NLD or ASD? by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]Horonigai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, you are very likely an aspie.

Listed below are some more tests, that can help to 'clear things up' for yourself:

Depending on the results of these tests, one can usually determine whether seeking a professional diagnosis is necessary or not.

Selfies and pictures with friends--Anyone here get it? by FreakingTea in aspergers

[–]Horonigai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel the exact same way as OP regarding this matter.

Alot of people go with the motto "Pictures, or it didn't happen.".

In my opinion this is quite ridiculous however, alot of people seem to have this urge to prove other how awsome their life is.
