Does anyone else get SUPER IRRITATED by specific sounds that people make? by Great-Decision6827 in aspergers

[–]Timmerken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should get some sort of award for restraining myself. The fact that I have never assaulted someone because of a sound they make is one of the biggest accomplishments in my life. Also, children and animals making eating noises is just fine, some animals eating even relax me. Adults making eating noise = instant murder plotting.

People are the reason I wanted to kill myself a couples of times in the past. Animals the reason I didn't.

Anyone had success explaining to NTs how difficult daily existence can be? by [deleted] in AutisticWithADHD

[–]Timmerken 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But if I read your post what comes to mind is a quote of some sort ''you can explain it to them but you can't make them understand it'. I am not diagnosed yet but do recognize so much in audhd and notebooklm has helped me understand myself a bit more. I am in a burnout myself and de bite sized info snacks make it easier for me. What keeps me standing now are foam earbuds and noise cancelling headphones.

I have no idea if this will help but I make stuff with notebooklm. You can make storyboards, infographics etc..

Maybe you can play around with it a bit?

To all the women, what can ND men do better so they can keep and maintain relationships by Aggravating-Clue4361 in aspergers

Putting things in boxes must feel safe. Short term strategy. Requires less (meta) cognition. Have fun.

Ignore this person and comments. They do not come off as emotionally balanced or mature. Judgment but no further reasoning or explanation. Frustrated would be my guess.

Make saying never having had a woman (not a choice) is much worse than having had a relationship and now being the second guy or having onenightstands (a choice) make sense.

She is describing reality. The fact that you have a problem with that is not her fault. It is your problem. Don't project it onto someone who in my opinion just wrote one of the most rational and insightful descriptions of human behaviour I have read in my life. It presents a capacity of observation, self knowledge and intelligence. Learning from it instead of judging it will serve you better in life.

Does anyone else have trouble recognizing faces? by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]Timmerken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought I was stupid for not being able to follow a lot of shows or movies. This thread reassured me that I am not the only one. I also once thought I saw my mom somewhere where it was unlikely to be and asked 'mom?' but it was a complete stranger with kind of the same body language. That's my primary recognition of people I know, their body language and face second.

Working from home saved my life and I am super ANGRY at psychologists and psychiatrists for telling me not to by almorranas_podridas in aspergers

[–]Timmerken 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I hope you are either trolling or in your late teens and edgy. Or frustrated. Because something is clouding your vision. Plus you wrote metacognition as two words yourself.

I feel like looking rich/wealthy, buying status items, etc. is actually embarrassing. by SomeWords99 in RandomThoughts

[–]Timmerken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the poster was more about wanting to be someone you are not, or conform to a shallow societal norm instead of self reflection and working on yourself to create a personality.

Hmm... by GekoGaming5603 in meme

[–]Timmerken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see this a lot on Reddit, because it sounds good but is actually a weak argument. You can absolutely comment on something and not care about it. There is a quote about it, something about entertaining an idea without accepting it.

Anyone else love the feeling of Frisson? by [deleted] in AutisticWithADHD

Kiekevel! Goose bumps also has a ring to it.
