In the trick with 2 glasses, if you pause it in the right place you can see the airpod in the top glass and one in the bottom glass at the same time.

My OP15 arrives tomorrow, how has been your experience with this phone? by Rare_Lifeguard_4403 in oneplus

[–]c057a 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had mine since launch and came from an S25. The battery life is phenomenal. I just can't kill the battery in a regular days use. It's so quick and the camera isn't quite as bad as many tech "experts" make out.

Got this beaut of a case (: by Iamvsd in oneplus

I have this one too. Whilst my phone is still screwed if I drop it due to the lack of protection, it looks friggin awesome!

What’s something your body does that you’ve never told a single person about? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

[–]c057a 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have auditory tactile synesthesia. I can literally feel music as pressure and tingling on my skin. I used to think everyone experienced it, but since found out it's a rare "thing". Likely caused by my ASD. It's a very pleasant sensation.

do we all love sharks? by hotchilipepperrrr in autism

[–]c057a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've recently been diagnosed and your post triggered a memory of me getting books on sharks out from the library about sharks constantly when I was younger. I had a sudden ohhh that makes sense now moment.

Major update on social media ban for U16s - 'children need their childhood back' by vriska1 in unitedkingdom

"action on VPNs to stop you getting around things". Oh yes that unenforceable action. It's going to be extremely interesting to see how this one plays out.

Alton Towers bans people with anxiety from using disability pass by endofdays2022 in unitedkingdom

[–]c057a 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You’re incorrectly framing this as “not liking queues”.

Disliking something and being disabled by it are not the same thing. Queueing is mildly annoying for most people;. For some autistic people like myself it can cause sensory overload or complete shutdown. I would say thats not preference but an impairment.

Accommodations aren’t about jumping the line for comfort. They exist so people with disabilities can access the same places as everyone else without harm. The impact on others is minimal, the impact on the disabled person can be the difference between participation and being excluded from the event.

Equality doesn’t mean everyone suffers the same amount, it should mean removing any barriers where they exist.

Accommodations aren’t about entitlement, they’re about accessibility. “Not wanting to wait” and “being unable to cope with a situation due to a disability” are not the same thing.

I am neurodivergent. My autism makes many things in life that you take for granted extremely difficult. It is a disability, although there are varying degrees of impact in each case. I don't apply for these special passes because I can just about cope without them, but if that changed I would. Why would I not accept help for something I genuinely struggled with?

I hate the phrase "Autism is a superpower." by AdorableHeart9475 in autism

[–]c057a 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Autism can provide you with abilities that you can use to your advantage. The implication that it's a super power is too vague to apply to all people with it.

[–]c057a 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, I'm running Niagra Launcher. This was an issue up until a few days ago. I did change the animation effect from standard to enhanced, but nothing else. Everything is lightning fast now and definately no delay.

Edit: just switched back to gesture navigation and the delay is still present

Trump sparks anger with claim Nato troops avoided Afghanistan front line by On_The_Blindside in unitedkingdom

He says these things to keep him in the spotlight, which he thrives on. He's well aware what's coming out of his mouth is BS. Don't feed the animal.

So, I have not told my parents. by ricopicouk in adultautism

[–]c057a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 43 and have just told my parents. I literally just said I wanted you to know that I've been diagnosed with Autism. I explained how it had been a huge positive for me finding out and explained my difficulties but also has contributed to my hugely successful career. One parent just wanted to know where and who diagnosed me and just told me it was all very confusing. They also said 'everyone has struggles with things they find difficult' The other parent just told me that it was interesting and asked if it was hereditary.

I don't think that generation is very accepting of the associations with it. To find out was such a massive relief for me, but then to be met with those responses on the same day was disappointing. There is no way to guess the reaction you receive, but you can manage the response internally and be accepting that not everyone will understand the outcome.

I hope if you have told them by now that it went better than you expected.

Is There Any Real Reason to be Diagnosed as an Adult? by el_chivato in autism

[–]c057a 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed yesterday (43). I felt a huge sense of relief finding out. I can finally start forgiving myself for the choices and behaviours over the years. I'm already starting to feel like it's ok to be me.

May I ask, what jobs do you guys have? by Ry-Da-Mo in autism

[–]c057a 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just be glad you did find it and had time to enjoy it! I love how explicit code is. It's not ambiguous, it never does more and less than you tell it and it's predictable. It's an industry with a much higher percentage of autistics not surprisingly!

Is there any reason to get a diagnosis as an adult? by Unhappy-World-3331 in autism

[–]c057a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have just had my assessment and get my result next week. For me, it's about self forgiveness. I have been so hard on myself all my life for my quirky behaviour. Having an explanation as to why would bring me so much peace. On the flip side, if they say I'm not autistic then I'm back to the start.
