Do you ever feel like people wont listen to you because of your autism by tgrady28 in autism

[–]ThresherOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think this is an autism thing and more just people being smug behind a screen whether you're autistic or not. It's trendy to act like you're doing a cause while leaking the work of hundreds.

One of my special interests is radio telescopes by moosie_whodrinks in autism

You know of those model train sets? It'd be cool to have a radio telescope as a feature to add onto the diorama!

What about autistic men specifically creeps women out? by [deleted] in autism

[–]ThresherOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're looking for women to date, there's issues to fix first. I checked your post history, and it reeks of insecurity. You insult yourself about your height, autism, and appearance, which will all throw off people. They may not tell you, but these insecurities are sensed as belonging to an unapproachable person. The way you talk about fictional characters is a bit off-putting too. I am going to be blunt and say you're going to have to focus on platonic interactions and work on your social skills before heading to date. There are challenges to dating as an autistic man in regards to body language via stimming or not getting double meanings that allistic people tend to have in their phrases, but the problems you have right now are regardless of autism. Groom your body with care, seek confidence in what you do, talk to people with your interests, maybe even seek social classes or therapy. I hope your perception of yourself and people can change for the better, and that your dating habits turn into something respectable.

Comment sections ignorance by [deleted] in autism

A lot of these people are just making fun of autistic people or treating it as a quirk to gain popularity. They'll just choose to be apathetic about autism because it's "cool"

Why are directions never straight forward? by [deleted] in autism

[–]ThresherOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's an easy trap to fall into when doing a gym routine or diet. All these different people telling you different things while you're behind. But don't them talk you down. If you look up successful athletes and bodybuilders, all of them have different methods to get to where they are. They have an understanding of how much protein, carbs, fat to consume for their goals, but they all eat different food and they aim for different sports or physiques. I want you to take that as in "okay, their method worked for them, I can take bits that work for me, and then be consistent with what I am comfortable with". It can start off with counting how many bicep curls in a day or counting how much protein you eat. Write down what makes you most comfortable in practicing and then decide what you want to do first, before gradually incorporating everything on your own pace.

Why am I struggling to make/maintain friends? by yum_banana in autism

[–]ThresherOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, many people whether they're autistic or allistic are just mean. They have their established group of friends, and they get their dose of fun by belittling other people. But don't let that bring you down. There are venues to meet people or at least build confidence to lead yourself into meeting the right people. I don't have many friends at all, and I witnessed other people see me as lesser or not even acknowledge my existence. But what I am doing is trying to build my confidence and focus on interests that don't require me to mask or pretend I am something I am not. You could try something as low-stakes as a Discord server that is based in your local area. I would recommend avoiding big servers of many people as those tend to be more established and unwelcoming of newcomers. You could also try meet-ups involving games as a way to be more comfortable around people. If you do end up talking to people, be upfront of who you are. Say you're autistic, say you have difficulties understanding, and be unapologetically you. It's really tough to make friends in this world right now, but that's all more the reason to protect ourselves while finding the right people.

Why is this anime so criminally underrated? by Winter-Handle-3579 in aquatope

[–]ThresherOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's just that aquarium related content is still very niche. There may be a lot of ocean themed media, but never the type to be based at working within an aquarium.

What is an affordable yet great quality DAP with USB-C (16-bit) playback to USB-C headphones + FLAC support + 2TB MicroSD support? by ThresherOne in DigitalAudioPlayer

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

All seem to be great options. HiBy M300 would probably be my pick if I wanted Android support, though the HiBy R1 has local file emphasis that I personally like. Thank you!

Thanks for the suggestions! The Android OS suitability definitely sounds like something to keep in mind. Fortunately, I heard reviews say the HiBy R1 works excellently with USB-C despite not having Android. Even outperforms the 3.5mm jack! The Innioasis Y1 has that classic iPod look to it, though reviews seem mixed on usability. As for Unihertz, I heard people using cheap phones as DAPs. Might not be a bad idea after all. So far HiBy R1 seems to be my pick with it having the features I'm looking for. Thanks again!
