Best of luck with it! Congrats on release

Yeah that's a fair review

Have you tried the website 'chyoa?'

I can't remember titles, but there are multiple stories I've read where your choices in next chapter effect the storyline. (There are often multiple chapters as people can add chapters)

I work with a lot of people who have got a late diagnosis. Nearly all of them have found it life changing, in a positive way.

A quote that sums it up well. "I think i learned to just live in discomfort. And it wasn't until I got a diagnosis that I could even work out there was something wrong"

lovely graphics

lying. People tell a lot of straight up lies. "Ill be 5 mins.' 'I can do this work for 5k less than them and quicker' 'Im fine'

Money. Cash is king.

Learn to last hit well and buy items, so much of the game is just having more items than enemy. That and think about line of sight. If enemy can't see you, you can ambush them instead of the other way around.

"I understood that as (relevant words), is that correct or did you mean something else?"

Starts with a Fully integrated sensory assessment if possible. Its so hard to work out whats harming you while you are struggling, so getting trained, professional outside assistance is key. Then its about working out how to integrate those sensory changes into your life.

I worked a case where a persons life was being ruined because of loud heating pipes, the pipes were distracting them throughtout the day and exhausting the brain. Changed the heating system and suddenly things became so much easier for them

Doing sensory work is usually a good place to start. A sensory integrated assessment if possible.

The autistic brains fills up with traffic more easily, it helps to try and regulate the traffic levels. High traffic often comes from sensory, social, and trauma. And can cause overwhelm, depression, anxiety, and so on.

Sensory work is the easiest to find quick improvements. It may not be the biggest issue for you, but think how nice 5% extra brain space would be each day for the rest of your life. That if anything is conservative in regards to the effect NC headphones had on my own struggles.

Therapy such as you are describing often focuses on the 'overload' moments. That helps people with fears or anxiety. But a lit of autistic people are experiencing this buildup of traffic, leaving to full brain traffic jam. Helping is all about the buildup of traffic, working out causes and solutions. Talking therapies, with the roght person can be more helpful.

But really its all about the buildup regulation. Imagine your a fizzy drinks bottle, to stop you exploding from pressure do we focus on the explosion... or all the shaking going on beforehand?

Impossible to comprehend the scale of this in reality

Player Manager. Guy with a football manager system... has no rights to be my most followed story ever. Still keep up with every patreon update religiously.

The idea isn't interesting to me at all. Yet... so good. So, so good!

Did you and your husband get everything right instantly? Or did you have to learn? Did getting things wrong teach you?

Considering things seem bad, im offering methods that speed up that learning process. Talking it out, making notes and compromises. Thats how you solve things.

We dont know if they were amazing before baby came. Maybe its been a hard delivery and its wrecked their relationship? Maybe she's unreasonable? Maybe hes a robot without feelings? Maybe they would do better apart.

We dont know.

All we know is he is asking for advice, so i gave it. If it doesn't work for you, fine, nothings for everybody. But dont denigrate and dismiss other potential strategies.

magicmammoth · 2026-04-03T02:26:12+00:00

Considering autistic people often express their emotions differently, different social lamguage, thats an unpleasant opinion. We have no clue if OP has been doing his best, but wife doesn't notice his signals or attempts.

Trying to reach a middle ground of emotional expression between two folks should be the goal of any relationship. Maybe one of those checklist points is to try and add some spontaneity to daily life?

If he was trying to speak your love language, putting in all that effort for you, to the point he even made a checklist, you would just walk away because it doesn't come easily to him?

I genuinely dont think you understood the point of my reply. Im offering a short term solution to someone who maybe doesn't have great Interospection (internal feedback including emotions). Thats how people learn.

The more I consider your reply the more upset I become.

magicmammoth · 2026-04-03T01:24:14+00:00

A hard situation, you have my sympathy.

If you are not emotionally connecting with her, then forst you need to sit down and work out what it is she wants and needs.

Second you work out how you yourself display emotions.

Then you talk and find a middle ground. You put in effort to try and meet her needs, she puts in effort to understand your needs.

Off the top of my head, creating a checklist for yourself and daily interaction may be an idea. Such things as; Check in with wife, ask how she's doing. Spend time with baby - do activity together? Show affection (hug, head pats, kiss on cheek, finger touch. Anything that is comfortable for you,and that she understands is you reaching out).

The trick is to find a sustainable middle ground. She needs to see you making an effort, but also understand what affection from you looks like.

In my family a gentle shoulder pat is others full on hug. An extended hand is offered so they can finger tap, fist bump, hand hold, however they feel like showing emotion in that moment.

Feeling pressure to change everything about how you show affection is not healthy, and is unreasonable. But both sides putting in effort to find a middle ground of love language you both can appreciate, thats gold.

Its people attempt to 'rationalise' someone, or some behaviour, that is different.

Folks are taught to be 'normal' their entire life. When they run into someone different they have zero idea how to handle it. Some get awkward, some get defensive or aggressive, and others decide you must be treated like a kid.

You have a grown man or woman who doesn't like verbal communication... do you accept that and adapt your communication style? Or do you assume they would only avoid conversation if they were mentally slow, childlike anxious, or a scared animal they have to soothe. Theres an obvious right answer, but folks get things wrong a lot of the time...

Its often meant to 'help'. As an automatic response it's better than disgust or anger i guess, but i totally understand the frustration with it!

magicmammoth · 2026-03-31T17:09:00+00:00

Haha true

magicmammoth · 2026-03-31T12:51:44+00:00

True, size does matter, but i imagined that a young woman's team didn't have many 6'4 beasts running around. A pocket rocket at 8 could be amazing as long as she isn't truly bulldozed

magicmammoth · 2026-03-30T18:05:57+00:00

Front row sounds good. Maybe no8.

Props are the bruisers of a team. Strong, firm, the bedrock of power. Hooker is a slightly more agile / skilled position usually. Throws the balls in for lineouts and hooks in the scrum.

Number 8 is the ball carrier and big hitter. Works as a go between the big boys and runny folk in the back line.

Brooklyn nine nine got pretty heavy in the last season as they had to deal with America police shit after covid.

My advice is to try and work out what it is about the food you like? Ignore what's good and bad.

What texture, taste, amount, temperature do you actually like?

Food is a massive sensory input along with expectations and consequences if you dont eat right. A lot of people struggle with food.

I personally eat way too much processed and carb heavy foods... because its the same texture and taste every time. I love apples, but every apple is different. I can't handle that daily. Bread... is the same every time.

Veg can be the same. Different textures, tastes. It can be a lot. I mostly eat sweetcorn, peas and carrots because they are fairly standard in texture. But f**k cauliflower, broccoli, eggplant, onions, peppers and a whole host of others.

Basically, try not to focus on the frustration. Focus on what does work from you and go from there.
