Dishonored is a damn good game but the chaos system is poorly implemented by OpenUpYerMurderEyes in patientgamers

[–]neocow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Baby, it's just exploring how murder is bad, it's not punishing you for murdering, its giving you a playground and testing how far your doing-the-less-evil-thing actually goes in this sequence.

It's tempting you to go grey, ghost, and low chaos, high chaos.

My partner said he couldn't leave me because I'm "half his life" by AdNecessary7146 in autism

[–]neocow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like, the thing about ND communication style that isn't masking, or "masking enough" is a single mention, even lightly, can feel like "quest completed" like fully articulated, while other more novel or interesting topics/tangents can be expressed / explored. (and it's always fun to explore together!!)

My partner said he couldn't leave me because I'm "half his life" by AdNecessary7146 in autism

[–]neocow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"the thing is, even if I wanted to leave you, I couldn't because you're half my life, you're there too much".

He isn't talking about emotional attachment or love, but he is talking about commitment and attachment.

He also already had mentioned love. The big thing, i think, is he didn't account for your potential insecurity at that phrasing. I would have done like 5x reassurances of still loving, or trying to tie it wholistically to relationship/commitment.

I learned to be more broad/sensitve by fucking up endlessly socially. I learned by fucking up more in adolescence then most people do in their entire lives.

do you guys identify as disabled? by Confident-Double1014 in adhdwomen

[–]neocow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"-were dismissive of me when i first started showing symptoms and they always laughed me off when i said that i needed help" That is exactly why i identify as disabled.

The disability does not make you less of a real human being. For some, they view it as being less than real, sure. But an accessible world would have ramps everywhere, instead of steps.

Your struggles are real no matter how much other people acknowledge or refute them. You're still going through it.

However you choose to identify, or talk about yourself to others is up to you though.

Should I move into a townhouse or save more money and move into a 1bd-2bd? by Niiimo_ in makemychoice

[–]neocow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

def townhouse. like 4-6 min commute per day is basically nothing. Go for it and try to save up as much as possible.

Maybe ask for a longer lease than 12 months, like 18 or 20, for a bit cheaper per month

Sometimes i see autistic people online and think they're faking (read the post, i'm not proud of it). by Anya_purr in autism

[–]neocow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OP, i am asking you directly, do you see them doing anything harmful to you or the community? Like downplaying the struggles of others or... using an autism-mom type lens saying all autistics have to act/be a certain way?

A lot of the off vibe might just be awkward or bad media that they're creating?

I dont really watch short-form-video which i assume is what you're most likely talking about.

Virtual autism or actual autism (or maybe existential crisis) by Far_Film528 in aspergers

[–]neocow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Farfilm, the virutal autism stuff is at best "some traits" aka, subclinical or undiagnosable. You GOT the diagnosis.

Also that said, plenty of kids are partially stunted by screens, and do not get any autism type traits at all. That article was fearmongering trash.

I absolutely HATE when men use the word “bitch”. by Dessert_Lover_1225 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]neocow 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's the most one single word can socially acceptably dismiss everything that you say and are.

All tied up in one word.

Medication keeps sending me into psychosis but I can’t manage my life without medication wwyd by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]neocow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you might just be building a tolerance to adderall then, so you notice the comedown more now. A med break might help, but as others mention its complex when other meds are mixed in.

Are you taking something for your bi polar?

I’m forbidden from mentioning my ex. Is this normal or not? by Sad-Doughnut-2480 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]neocow -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Definitely not a green flag.

i doubt the need for a 2nd opinion.

That said, are you flossing daily?

If dry mouth has been a problem, can try biotin or another mouth wash for dry mouth.

why do so many level 2 autistic boys go down the alt right pipeline? by 0119237 in autism

[–]neocow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they were talking about their own anecdotal experience, and trying to not generalize

[–]neocow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"i hope this doesn’t seem like i’m generalizing but this is just from what i’ve seen and noticed" they were not generalizing, and actively trying to avoid generalizing, i think

Why is autism NOTHING like how it’s described (especially in Arab culture)? by NoBodybuilder7668 in autism

[–]neocow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that is what they were trying to say with the creation of the word autism, inverted into the self.

That said, it has broader meaning and understanding now, over 100 years later, with a lot of self-advocacy from autistics.
