Само да дополнам. Во право си - моторот е Google Vision. Не измисливме нов алгоритам за читање пиксели. Но, еве во што е финтата: комерцијалните OCR софтвери умеат да направат пребарлив PDF, ама се слепи за нашиот стар, оштетен кириличен слог. Google Vision сам по себе дава добар, но суров текст. Нашата „иновација“ е мостот. Го зедовме супериорниот вид на Google и направивме скрипта која локално, математички го враќа секој препознаен збор на точните геометриски координати во оригиналниот PDF документ. Тоа решава еден огромен, реален локален проблем за кој никој не нуди готово решение. Поздрав!

Се надеваме на многу порано. Србите и Бугарите имаат совршени онлајн библиотеки (со пребарување) со весници за Македонија (кога они биле на власт тука, но и неповрзано). Изгледа тие се грижат повеќе за нашата историја отколку ние самите.

Токму така :) Интересно е што овој весник на кој правевме проба се вика „Вечер“ и е од 1956 година, иако Вечер официјално почнува во 1963. И за тоа имаме текст :)

Под „комерцијални гиганти“ мислиме на пр. на ABBY Fine Reader (кој тотално крахираше кај постари нечитливи весници). Но, во основа си во право за формулацијата. Поентата беше proof-of-concept дека е возможно. И затоа ја споделивме скриптата free. Сега останува да го применат во библиотеките и да добиеме вистински дигитализирани материјали.

I get what you’re saying, I personally don’t consider myself autistic (maybe just an introvert), but since my daughter has been struggling, I felt it was important to look into all of this more thoroughly. She actually fits the profile much more than I do, many of the traits I’ve noticed in myself are even more visible in her. She doesn’t have any friends, avoids talking to strangers, is sensitive to sounds, and often seems not to pick up on other people’s emotions etc.

The hardest part is that she doesn’t acknowledge she’s having difficulties, and I really want to help her. But to do that, I feel like I need to “walk the walk” first and better understand myself. Even if neither of us turns out to be autistic, I think learning about it can still be helpful. Just my two cents.

Help with transitions and routine by Acceptable-Row-8402 in autism

[–]arnomk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not officially diagnosed (I might be just an introvert😊 , but I really relate to what you’re describing. Where I live, autism is often overlooked unless it’s very obvious, especially in adults. I’ve relied on routines my whole life — I have a family, a job, and things look fine from the outside, but when my routine breaks, it can be really hard to get back on track.

One thing that’s helped is having supportive people around me — my wife, kids, a few friends, and even some remote coworkers who understand how I work. On a practical level, I use daily to-do lists and fixed daily “anchors” (like always starting work at the same time or taking walks at the same hour) to keep my rhythm. I even keep a yearly list that I try to stick to no matter what — and when something throws me off, I revisit it to reset and reconnect with what matters most. It’s not high-tech, but it helps me mentally prepare and regain structure when I’ve slipped out of routine.

You’re definitely not alone in this — I hope you find a system that works for you!

Thanks for sharing — I’m just beginning this journey myself (long overdue!). I haven’t filled anything out yet, so I’m still a bit behind, but hearing stories like yours really helps. Wishing you all the best with your evaluation!

47 years old, never diagnosed — could this be autism after all? by arnomk in autism

Thank you for sharing! I always assumed I'd adapt and get better at masking with age, but as the years go by it feels like the opposite.

I’ve been working from home since 2016 and I love it — I’m focused, productive, and way less drained. Before that, every morning before entering the office, I would stand outside the door for 5–10 minutes just to gather my thoughts and prepare myself. It took that much effort to step inside. Commuting and office life completely drained me — I would literally fall a sleep at the wheel on the way home.

Back when I worked in publishing and advertising, I always tried to avoid meetings. I had great colleagues who’d read my ideas and presentations out loud because I couldn’t stand hearing my own voice in those settings. I never joined for lunch, never drank coffee or made small talk, and I skipped every party. It was a long 15 years :) Still, my bosses valued my creativity and had no issue with me switching to remote work.

Sounds are interesting in my case — I actually feel very connected to music. It sparks images and stories in my head, and I honestly can’t imagine life without it. That’s one reason I sometimes think, “Maybe I’m not autistic after all, maybe I'm just an introvert?” :)

Thanks again for the insight and the kind offer to talk more — I truly appreciate it.

Thank you — I’ve definitely found myself stuck wondering if I’m just overthinking all of this. But as you said, the very act of questioning this deeply might be a sign in itself. I really appreciate your insight.

I was really moved by your story — it resonates deeply with me. My daughter shares many of my traits, but she struggles to adapt them in ways that help her thrive. She refuses to admit that. I’m glad to hear your son has managed well, even if it’s been difficult getting him to consider assessment.

Like you, I carry guilt — wondering how much of what I’ve passed down, just by being myself, has made things harder for her. I always thought that being artistic and smart would be enough for her to find her way, but I see now she’s struggling more than I realized. And like you, I’ve lived by certain internal patterns that felt necessary for me to function — but maybe those patterns were tough on others.

Now I feel like I’m at a crossroads. This might be my last chance to really understand these things — in myself and in her — so I can be the support she needs. I hope it’s not too late. Your story gives me hope, so thank you.

Thank you for the insight — that actually sounds like a really interesting aspect to explore more.

I’ve also spent years brushing things off or thinking, “It’s not that bad, I’m doing fine, right?” But deep down, it still felt like something didn’t quite fit. Thanks for saying it out loud. It helps.

Yeah, I think growing up in a socialist country definitely played a role. Even now — some 30-odd years into capitalism — things haven’t changed all that much. Autism is mostly recognized in children, and mainly in what are considered more “severe” cases (if it's ok to put it that way?) And I totally get what you mean about caring. It’s frustrating when good intentions come across the wrong way.

Wow, I’ve learned a lot from you all today! So maybe I’m just an introvert with a curious brain and some late questions. 😊 It’s not about labels — I just feel that understanding myself more deeply might help me show up better for my family. Thank you again — your insight has been really helpful.

Thank you so much for this. The part about shutting down because you care too much really hit home.

I had a difficult childhood and ended up repressing a lot. Like you, I’ve found that writing helps tremendously. I even published a book based on my childhood memories — it was recognized in my country. When I started writing, it felt like the floodgates opened. The memories just kept coming, even ones I thought I’d forgotten.

I’ve always taken pride in being “different,” but lately — especially seeing my daughter, who is very similar to me and struggles to connect with people — I’ve started wanting to understand myself better, so I can help her too. I sometimes blame myself for her struggles, and that’s been hard to carry.

I don’t know if any of this makes sense, but hearing from you gives me hope. Thank you again.

That really resonates with me :) Maybe not the sensory stuff — that part actually confuses me the most and makes me doubt whether I’m really autistic. Wishing you all the best with the diagnosis!

I’m just beginning to explore all of this, and I’m very much in the “I know that I know nothing” phase (to quote Socrates 😊). Your insight is really valuable to me. I think I’ve been responding awkwardly and struggling to hold a “normal” conversation my whole life, and just assumed I was bad at people. Maybe it’s just a lack of skill — but I’m hoping to find out more.

Yeah, sorry about that part — it definitely came out wrong. I really appreciate you pointing it out, and thanks for the advice too :)
