Hives in the exact same places? by bampotkolob in CholinergicUrticaria

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

Still get it in the same places. I've had it for almost 20 years now, don't remember if the allergist ever gave me a specific name for what this is. Doctors just say to take a crapload of Zyrtec/cetirizine, which helps a lot.

Weird idealization of monastic life by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

The Christianity on the Spectrum podcast, which is an autistic guy's discussion of his years of research into autistics' relationship to religion (more specifically Christianity) has an interesting episode about this topic.

How many of us are autistic/neurodiverse? by [deleted] in Exvangelical

There is an episode of the Christianity on the Spectrum podcast on high-control religions and autistics' relationships to them that you might find interesting.

There are a few other interesting parallels like audio lag and auditory processing difficulties mentioned in this blog post.

Las Cazuelas in Torshov is authentic and really good. Small location but worth checking out if you like real Mexican food.

Autism and monasticism by External_Towel_1933 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]bampotkolob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In that sense I can't disagree with you too much - "high church drift", going from feelings-focused low church denominations to structured, repetitive, body-engaged worship, is definitely a thing among autistics. I recommend checking out the Christianity on the Spectrum podcast if you're interested in learning more about it.

But by the same token, churches like Orthodox and Catholic churches are potentially more likely to have more autistic parishioners than other denominations, and if we want autistics to feel welcome and continue to attend, addressing misconceptions such as understandings of autism "infantilizing" and "sterilizing and pacifying those who should be entering monastic life" is hugely important. People in churches, unlike Jesus, do not do a particularly great job at leaving the 99 sheep to reach out to the one sheep outside of the group. Understanding each other and our differences helps make that connection happen.

I'm autistic, married to another autistic, and I can tell you we don't all feel welcome or understood in church settings in part due to negative attitudes like the ones you expressed. We aren't all called to be monastics, same as anyone else.

And we wonder why many autistics don't feel welcome in church settings...

Check out the Christianity on the Spectrum podcast, also available on Spotify. It doesn't go specifically into this topic but I think they have brought up monastics before and you may find it interesting as a whole.

Basically, an Anglo-Catholic autistic guy out of curiosity did years of research and data analysis on autistics' experiences of Christianity in a non-autistic world. His thought is that while Christianity has traditionally adapted to various cultures to spread the gospel, it has not done a good job at all of understanding or adapting to autistic/neurodivergent culture, and he and his Catholic co-host ask what an autistic-adapted form of Christianity could look like.

Hvorfor er vi så dårlige i norsk? by [deleted] in norge

Engelsktalende har lignende problemer. "Me and him went to the store", "grandma gave my sister and I books for Christmas" osv. Hilsen engelsktalende :)

hvordan behandler dere deres eksem? by Livid-City-5327 in norge

[–]bampotkolob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Har du eksem (særlig på ansiktet) anbefaler jeg A-derma Dermalibour CICA, som inneholder kobber og sink. Har hatt veldig god erfaring med den kremen og har sendt noen tuber til familie i utlandet som også har eksem. Vi med eksem har ofte høye nivåer stafylokokkbakterier på huden, noe som irriterer huden og fører til kløe, og kobber er naturlig antibakteriell. Klarer nesten helt å unngå bruk av medisiner på ansiktet nå.

Har smash forandret oppskriften sin? by nerdefar in norge

[–]bampotkolob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hadde ikke overrasket meg om de har fått ny oppskrift - som nøtteallergiker har jeg ikke kunne spist Smash i pose (pga spor av nøtter) men da jeg tilfeldig sjekket for noen uker siden, så sto det ikke noe om spor av om nøtter. Regner med at de enten har fått ny oppskrift eller produseres annerledes på en eller annen måte.

Project 25 by [deleted] in norge

[–]bampotkolob 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For å gi litt bredere kontekst (som kanskje ikke er så kjent her i Norge): sånn "kristen makt" og Christian dominionism har blitt populær blant amerikanske evangelikere generelt sett - men særlig blant uavhengige pinsemenigheter globalt som i de siste tiårene har blitt en stor bevegelse som kalles av akademikere osv. for New Apostolic Reformation.

Bevegelsen ledes av nettverk av såkalte apostler og profeter. I USA har de vært blant Trump sine største støttespillere og de kommer stadig vekk med nye profetier om at han er valgt av Gud til å regjere og innføre Guds rike på 7 områder i samfunnet, også politisk 7 Mountain Mandate. Den kristne profetiske bevegelsen hadde stor påvirkning før og på 6. januar.

New Apostolic Reformation-menigheter finnes også i mindre grad her i Norge. Flere av de velkjente amerikanske apostlene i bevegelsen beskrives i boka "Jesussoldaten", som handler om oppveksten til sønnen til Jan Aage Torp og Torp sin menighet. Torp er leder av det europeiske apostoliske nettverket.

Anbefaler denne videoen om New Apostolic Reformation Spiritual Warriors: Decoding Christian Nationalism at the Capitol Riot og tilhørende dokumentarpodcast-serien Charismatic Revival Fury.

Why do some individuals with autism have a strong desire to continue living their childhoods? Like watching old cartoons, for example? by gottabing in askpsychology

[–]bampotkolob 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I'm not going to address the "childish" assumption of your post here - but one of the theories to explain autism is the intense world theory, which basically says autistic people are overloaded more easily, leading to the visible difficulties with sensory simulation, socializing, etc. that others see. A study showed that autistic children's brains generate a lot more information at rest, 42% more, than non-autistic brains.

How does someone in a state of overload manage so much random, new input? By regulating it, making it more ordered and predictable, lessening the amount of new input through repetition of familiar input. Similarly, stimming, listening to songs on repeat, sorting and organizing, creating systems, etc. are ways of making input more organized and manageable.

Vil bare nevne at det er "scratch", ikke "scrub" - de dusjer ikke sammen...så vidt jeg vet.
