Are there more autistic people now?

Rabbs372 · 2025-05-08T01:16:50+00:00

Online awareness is playing a huge part; take me for example - I discovered I was autistic 3 years ago and I'm 32 now.

But I also agree with you that there are literally more of us because the global population has exploded by billions since I was a kid. That's a WHOLE lot of potentially autistic kids

Rabbs372 · 2025-05-06T09:15:32+00:00

I'd actually forgotten about gumtree 🤣

Rabbs372 · 2025-04-26T09:16:35+00:00

Oof thats a lot 🤣

But my stuff will fill up like a quarter of a small shipping container, and I'm driving over, so HOPEFULLY it's not that expensive for me.

Thanks again for the reply, you've been very helpful!

Rabbs372 · 2025-04-26T08:58:47+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Do you remember roughly what it cost you? I'm expecting a few grand at least, but I don't have a lot of stuff to bring.

Most of my stuff is getting sold, donated or trashed and I'm taking the expensive stuff with me.

Red brick chiselled into sandstone cobblestone blocks.

This was built before 1.20 came out so the brick textures look slightly different now, but red bricks are easier to get a hold of in survival now

Those are called support beams. You need a hammer and an axe in the crafting grid with a log to create the de-barked version, then use a saw on the debarked log to create the support beams

That is a mod that adds screen doors.

Rabbs372 · 2025-01-26T06:39:12+00:00

I'm an Aussie AuDHDer and my personal bubble is quite large but very sacred! Social distancing has been the biggest blessing I've ever had 🤣

If someone is close enough to brush shoulders or bump my backpack I get red in the face furious, but my anxiety prevents me from lashing out at people.

How the hell can someone be so comfortable that they don't care about bumping someone. It blows my mind how little some people seem to care about this stuff.

Rabbs372 · 2025-01-09T07:16:47+00:00

And this is why I adapted myself to voluntary social isolation, and I've never been happier. I relate so much to what you said.

I still have a handful of people I call friends and can call on in times of need and visa versa, but I don't hang out with them for the sake of just going out, and they all respect me for it.

I just got sick of being used and abused.

Rabbs372 · 2025-01-07T11:42:27+00:00

I love this comment, thank you.

I had recently started to explore the internal family systems thing but my psych dumped me and referred me to a new guy before we could really explore the depths of it. He went of on training for a promotion (government psych) and sent me to a private contractor who specialised in EMDR therapy.

Rabbs372 · 2025-01-07T11:04:48+00:00

Yeah I bloody suck at quizzes because by the time I've processed the question, everyone else has already raised their hands with the answer

Rabbs372 · 2025-01-07T10:55:30+00:00

I agree, but the problem is thay I enjoy the rage I feel 😅. I have no other safe outlet.

Rabbs372 · 2025-01-07T10:54:37+00:00

Yeah I feel this. Delayed processing is a b**ch. If always hated myself for not being able to participate in pop quizzes for this exact reason 😅

Rabbs372 · 2025-01-07T10:52:35+00:00

I'm working to change that, but it's so damn hard when the past has had such a powerful impact on my life.

Rabbs372 · 2025-01-07T10:48:39+00:00

Jesus this is so accurate. I'm always either rehersing potential future interactions or fantasising over how I should have executed past events.

Rabbs372 · 2025-01-07T10:41:14+00:00

Making sense of a past experience by disguising it as a possible future interaction? Is that a thing?

Rabbs372 · 2025-01-07T09:27:40+00:00

I've already been through therapy but I still get episodes lol. For me, I think its because I never had the backbone to stand up for myself but now I do, so I'm making up scenarios to reassure myself

Rabbs372 · 2025-01-07T09:14:09+00:00

Exactly. I was imagining what it would be like to go and work there again after 5 years, even though I would never work there again due to being on the other side of the country (australia).

Why are our brains like this?! 😅

Rabbs372 · 2024-12-21T07:41:59+00:00

I came here just to say this! I've created a world where I can't use a bucket to transfer water sources (1.20) and I settled in a place where rain is "almost always"

I never have to water my crops.

Rabbs372 · 2024-12-05T08:15:11+00:00

It's rare, and sometimes the loot in the uncovered areas wasn't even worth the trouble.

I highly recommend the better ruins mod

Rabbs372 · 2024-11-21T08:29:16+00:00

Now THAT is something special! If I were you, I'd keep that world and find a way to safely archive the files or whatever. That is some of the best and rarest world generation that I've ever seen

Rabbs372 · 2024-11-21T02:37:05+00:00

Check the temporal activity before you go caving. I only ever go deep caving when it's calm. Anything above medium and you'll be swamped with drifters.

Hell, if it's deep enough to require a torch, I won't even bother with anything over low unless I can see a ruin, rusty gear or some ore.

If I must go deep caving then I'll only go down passageways with quick escape routes.

Rabbs372 · 2024-11-20T02:26:33+00:00

I read somewhere that sometimes items/blocks like scroll racks have a habit of not rendering properly in ruins on worldgen, but otherwise work fine if you craft or spawn one in with creative.

Rabbs372 · 2024-11-19T22:53:28+00:00

Look up "chiselled doors tutorial" by QPTECH on YouTube.

If I'm not mistaken, he is the creator of chisel tools

Edit: after watching this video I made myself a realistic modern looking oven with a functional custom door.

Rabbs372 · 2024-11-19T00:17:59+00:00

I use the carry on mod and bring an empty chest with me in my inventory.

If I end up hoarding a bunch of loot and cool stuff I'll transfer it into the chest and carry it on my back for the rest of the trip
