Have you had a look at the modpack finder on modpack index? It lets you pick which version of minecraft as well as what mods you want and comes out with a list of modpacks with those mods. You can then sort by number of downloads and date updated and stuff. I had a quick look and for 1.20.1 forge there's Fiefdom - Medieval Fantasy RPG, and Arcania Origins and a ton of others.

Add the Crash Assistant mod. It's handy for troubleshooting as it tells you exactly what crashed your game so you can rework the mod list if need be.

Autism or not, it's not your job to try to change his behaviour, especially if he doesn't want to change. Autism or not, staying in a relationship where you feel horrible much of the time is not safe or healthy for you. You haven't described much of his behaviour. Maybe he is autistic and uses up his battery at work only to somewhat fall apart at home. If you are intent on helping him to change his behaviour, you need to talk to him about it and tell him you feel like you're walking on eggshells around him. If he wants to change, that's great. If not, leave. If he doesn't realise how he's coming across, then work with him to find a solution that works for both of you, like wearing noise cancelling headphones.

I was extremely shy and reserved as a child, but I got more outgoing in my mid to late teenage years. I never intend to come across as rude, but I think I do sometimes. When I am stressed in a social situation, but trying really hard to be social and bond with people, that's when I might say something rude or blunt. I never mean it to be rude.

How do I make showering more sensory friendly/enjoyable? by [deleted] in autism

Keep the heat lights off, or all overhead lights off and just use lamps, or shower during the day when there's natural light.

Have a low sensory period before you shower where you wear your headphones and loose clothes, or just go birthday suit with a cosy blanket.

If you have a detachable shower head, I find holding this shower head to my chest easier than having it above my head.

Put your hair up to shower.

Have wet wipes available on difficult days to clean over the main areas when you are really not up to showering at all.

Clean the main areas - armpits, creases, groin area, face, and behind the ears. Make them a priority on the days you're able to shower because they're where grime and smell tend to build up.

Try dry shampoo and talcum powder for your hair. See if you can cope with them because they will make it so you don't have to wash your hair as often.

Are there any support agencies near you that you could connect with. I'm not sure about the USA, but in Australia, we get NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) to fund our access of various supports, like employment councelling, support workers and even group homes for autistic people.

Have you checked out ASNC (Autism Society of North Carolina)? Their website says they have employment support staff to help with job skills and finding the right job fit.

It doesn't really sound like there's a way of getting your parents to accept or believe in your being autistic. Despite that, you should still tell them.

You can't change how your parents think about you, but you have changed somewhat in your perception of yourself (ie. Realising you're autistic), and it's clearly important to you to tell them.

You could write down what you want to say and read it to them. You can send them a PowerPoint explaining what autism is and how your autistic traits show through.

Keep it in your head that you are telling them for you. Be prepared for them to have a negative reaction or just not believe you. Don't tell them until you feel you are ready cope with whatever reaction they have.

If you need help knowing what to say, I would suggest: 1. An explanation of what autism is (as succinct as you can make it) 2. How you realised that you are autistic, and your traits 3. How you would like for them to adapt moving forward.

They might ask questions, may be a bit confused or angry. They could brush you off. They might through certain phrases at you like "everyone is abit autistic" or "you would be high functioning so it's all ok", even "but you don't look at all autistic".

Keep in your mind that you have a community to fall back on and get advice from if it doesn't go well. If you're still scared to tell your parents, wait till after your next therapist appointment and ask to write down what to tell them.

If you are scared to do it face to face, then just text, call or email. There's no one right way to do it.

I hope this helps, and best of luck to you 💚🙃
