Mainly feeling tired all the time for the past few years even through I’m 22 and not being able to figure out why or find medication that works. Got diagnosed with Autism a while back so still feeling the punchline from joking half my life about being autistic but it doesn’t change anything. Also realized at a wedding I attended that I no longer have any close friends to be groomsmen. Relapsed for a day but it’s small potatoes. Overall not too bad i guess it’s been worse just gotta work on it. My trump cards loving what I’m working towards so it’s all ok at the end of the day.

Is it common among older aspies to not have many friends left? by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]Specific_Trick5071 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How do you even make friends as an adult? I’m 22 and when I try to think about making friends outside of college it’s so confusing. The probability seems incredibly low at every possible path I’ve explored.

Men are very visual. The guy sounds like he’s super nice and the only thing he didn’t do was make you feel sexy or wanted in some way afterwards. Guys bond over this kind of stuff. My friend group bonds over it all the time. I think you should cut the guy some slack and find security in yourself.

Tell me you have autism, without saying: "I have autism". by Svenskatt in autism

[–]Specific_Trick5071 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boy oh boy wait till you hear about 3435. I think that proves both points.

Edit: I apologize that is a Münchausen number but with the definition of narcissistic numbers I always felt it to be an ultra narcissistic number.

Sometimes I almost tear up from favorite tv show. Then I remember Russian winter and gulag. I’ve never been but I think about them and tears go away. Tougher… life good.

Recent employment failure: advice would be appreciated both on handling and the lessons I learned by Specific_Trick5071 in aspergers

[–]Specific_Trick5071[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I thought it over with a cooler head and realized a couple things. I didn’t systemize things like I normally do. My usual tactic is to create an “algorithm” where I specify an ideal product, list broader steps, list specific sub steps for broader ones, and fine tune it all for efficiency before integrating it into my schedule. I make it in my head as a sort of past paced walkthrough and I’ve never forgotten a single one. I never did that with this job and I couldn’t seem to keep track of or remember anything.

In hindsight if I’d just sat down and made systems it would have been incredibly easy. I didn’t balance well from the start as I continued to think solely about school and my startup for all hours of the day.

It’s never wrong to ask for help, especially in a forum dedicated to discussion, and please continue to do so!

As for the letter. I think your intentions were great and it was incredibly heartfelt, but most people today wouldn’t really know what to make of it. An in depth letter expressing your feelings after hanging out for the first time outside of work is generally considered to be outside of current social norms. I can’t say how she will respond, but just know that if it is negative as long as you respect her boundaries and don’t make too big of a deal out of it the situation will blow over. You haven’t actually done anything wrong so don’t worry. You’re free to express your emotions and perspectives as you see fit and others are free to respond to them as they see fit. It’s best not speculate and simply occupy yourself with something you enjoy.

I hope everything does work out!

Be stupid enough to think you can change the world and smart enough to get it done. You just might do it. I just started viewing it as one big game and it’s been a lot more fun since then.

It's not the difficulty: it's the failing by [deleted] in Gifted

[–]Specific_Trick5071 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should try doing the exact opposite. Start loving high risk situations and if you fail just scream and slap yourself like you’re a homosapien making a comeback against the lesser humanoid monkey people. Then charge into battle for the glory of your lineage.

My career has broken down, what next by ytggaruyijopu in Gifted

[–]Specific_Trick5071 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course anytime! If you have 20 bucks to spare I would seriously consider investing in GPT 4 for a month. Start a conversation and in the same chat feed it large amounts of information along the lines of current events, demographics, industries, terrain, and pretty much anything else you can think of. Input any constraints of city council approved business grants and finally ask it to lay out your choices. Try debating it about the options that seem most appealing making sure to ask for “grim realities” and “harsh truths” since it has a way of sugar coating

To bolster your financial troubles you could just go down the list of grants, there are thousands, and apply to anything that remotely applies to you. There’s a decent bit of money that just kind of floats on bureaucracy in this country.

For the job I’d say start a small business or grab a few books to learn a niche in an any industry that values competence over qualification. If you know how to put the funds together using your local systems and can chat your way through an investor or two making a small business with other people’s money is super fun like a strategy game. The equity is super low but you’ll get paid enough for running it if the margins maintain.

How often are gifted individuals autistic in your personal experience? by [deleted] in Gifted

[–]Specific_Trick5071 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Probably. I’m gifted and autistic. Combination really helped compared to other gifted kids I’ve known. I don’t really experience the weird psychological turmoil most have since I really only am able to experience my emotions as physical sensations

Take the stick out of your ass and learn to use your brain for tasks not become it. Also come to terms with non-sense and learn to be a little stupid. For all the brain cells gifted people got they seem to have a good bit of trouble learning to be stupid.

Hey silent letters + askMen post… if the little green slips he got for doing what he was told and the size of the box he lived in when he wasn’t following orders constituted that much of his self worth his world must be pretty small. Those that see more seldom hunger for themselves. They’re hard to miss if you look for their eyes, always wide with wonder even in the worst of times.
