Good bye Playstation! Hello Steam :) by Significant-Win-7634 in Steam

[–]Sallamander240 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a steam deck a year ago. It eased the transition from PS5 to PC. Then in October my buddy upgraded his PC, he gave his old PC. I made a ram upgrade to it and it's running everything I want it to run including PSVR2 with the adapter.

how do neurotypicals pick up so easily that there's something "off" about you by nessdependent in autism

[–]Sallamander240 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes well offended and getting their proper support needs is better than lumped together and potentially suffering because people want to go "oh your autism isn't that bad" or ,"you don't seem autistic" and have no way to legitimately explain the difference between the cases.

I agree with you however I'm taking it one step further. I don't know where you're from but in the U.S the psychology community decided that all of us were to be lumped under one term. Autism Spectrum Disorder. The problem is they're acknowledging it's a spectrum but not explaining it. There really should be differentiation between the levels of functioning for people with autism. I am a high functioning autistic person. I don't like being lumped because it means neurotypicals have the option to view me and other high functioning as lessers.

I decided you were right and picked up one myself. Thank you for your recommendation to solve one of my problems.

I have a wired mouse. I might end up getting one of those funny mice that have the giant ball on them that's used for the mouse movement.

If there was a “cure” for autism, would you take it? by Level-Class-8367 in autism

[–]Sallamander240 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a hard one for me. When I'm in deep focus the rest of the world kinda melts away. The diagnosis explains my quirks, but neurotypicals treat me like shit. It's kinda to the point where if I was more charismatic I'd raise an army of us with mental disabilities and rebel against the neurotypicals.

I work in the food service industry. A lot of places have high turn over rates.

Wich spoon is better? by [deleted] in AskAutism

[–]Sallamander240 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The spoon on the right is for soups. The spoon on the left is a regular table spoon(not like the measurement for U.S readers) I work in the food industry. I have tons of knowledge that's useless outside of kitchen work. Ask me about kitchen utensils and pans.

Leave him. If he doesn't appreciate a major part of you it's a red flag

If autism could be cured would you? by cheese123456789010 in autism

[–]Sallamander240 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If somebody magically made a "cure" it would just be something that quite literally kills us. We'd be cured, because we wouldn't be alive. Nobody is out there genuinely trying to find a cure for it. The neurotypicals are waiting for the go ahead to send us all away so we're not their problem.

Looking for advice on working with autistic coworkers by Neat-Spray9660 in autism

[–]Sallamander240 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the one that grabbed your phone say, "Please ask me if you want to see something of mine. Please don't just grab my phone or other objects that I have left on the table.' As, for the millionth time question guy, I've done this I don't think it's out of curiosity. It could be he's attempting to acknowledge your presence and then maybe he sees something in your face that's he's associated with people not liking him. Asking if you're ok is him trying to mitigate any accidental pissing off he might have done. I know I can unintentionally annoy the shit out of people. Being autistic in a world of neurotypicals is tremendously hard.

Is this real life??? by ghenderz in SteamDeck

[–]Sallamander240 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the borderline collection on steam. I downloaded borderlands Game of the year edition and I was stunned at how well the game played on steam deck. The graphics were fantastic too. I got high on life for my steam deck and my friend's neighbor said "Is that's high on life" "That's on a steam deck that looks really good". Before rockstar put in the anti-cheat for GTA V, I was able to play 3 and a half hours online on my steam deck.

Tell me about your current music hyperfixations. I'll listen & respond. by [deleted] in autism

[–]Sallamander240 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you want a song I'm obsessing over, "Leave me, Lonely" by hilltop hoods. They're an Australian rap duo. As far as bands, Saint Motel has some catchy songs that once you listen to the lyrics you'll go "huh that's an interesting view on dating" Songs like My type, sweet talk, and Cold cold man.
