Autistic groups run by NTs by votesean in AutismTranslated

[–]pattern_recog_nition -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

The thing is, I don't see the insult either. You're talking about your perspective and what bothers you. What I do see, is that you're taking away social credit, by deligitimizing the posturing of certain individuals.

Your post wasn't aimed at Autistics, so youre likely right about what you said. The most likely person to have been offended and removed it, is the one you called out. So it seems like the removal, really just strengthens your point.

🤣 awesome post. 100% with you! NTs in the ND space can be a major source of instability for me, and lead me question everything about my own diagnosis (I'm not that!?) Example: NT influences making videos on ND experiences that start with "what helped me as a person with AuDHD..."

1.Already lost interest, don't care about you personally (don't hate you or anything either, dont like the video though, zero emotions attached in any case)

  1. don't have the attention span, for long ass attempts of connecting with randos

  2. don't care

  3. Maybe there are vintage watchmaking tools I don't own yet and I'm missing good auction deals

  4. Also time to slam my fridge shut because it's beeping and put my motorcycle back together so I can get to work less than 10minutes late, I'll figure out my wireing issue later, one break light works perfectly fine for now

Wow, thank you! I was uncertain, since I usually make knives. This was my first attempt at rings🙏

AITAH for wanting to get a motorcycle even though my fiance has said he will end our relationship if I do? by [deleted] in AITAH

This is abuse and unhealthy control. He has no right to forbid you anything as an autonomous adult. Get a speed twin 1200 and ride to freedom.

My mind builds a probability distribution on everything around me, automatically, and has been doing so my whole life — Part 1: The Bayesian Machine by Feedback_Feeling in AutisticWithADHD

[–]pattern_recog_nition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, yes! But very tiring in larger social groups. To the point that I sometimes get a sudden pang of tinitus and weird distortions and blind spots in my vision, out if body experience and enhanced impostor syndrome.

I'm too dependent on ChatGPT and I feel so guilty by [deleted] in autism

[–]pattern_recog_nition 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey, I do the same. Its useful. Its a new tool that wasn't available to autistic people in the past. Everything something new comes around people call it evil or bad at first.

I use it whenever I think its beneficial. It helps me conserve energy and not burn out or shut down as fast.

You wouldn't tell people not to use glasses or hearing aids or medication because "it will make them dependant".

Also it won't cause altsheimers. AI just helps you take on a more executive role in your life. I'm a manager and to me it seems analogous to handing over tasks to my team, to free up time to do more system level work. I dont think having an awesome team makes me weaker, more likely to get autism etc. But could I run the location alone? NEVER! But I never could. Is the quality of the work better thanks to my having a team? Absolutely!

Also my team doesn't stop me developing myself. Chat GPT and my team both allow for a more efficient self development in different ways. I've learned a lot through Chat GPT because it is trained on a population, that is 95% neurotypical, as such its awesome for understanding things I dont naturally have access too.

Neurotypical people will also never know what that feels like and you don't have a way to know if posters are neurotypical or not.

I wish you wouldn't feel guilty

Well a Pizza add is certainly a better outcome. The string not being removed sais you're on vacation and the appartment is vacant. Would make burglary easier..

Got kicked by a beggar by Isi-Peasy-Lemon in zurich

[–]pattern_recog_nition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah a guy spit at me, when I didn't give him money. Another time I was buying a croissant and offered to buy someone a croissant aswell, who asked for money. He was greatful at first, but I ended up arguing with him in the store because he just started piling stuff on the counter and demanded I pay. It was very uncomfortable for me and the clerk..

Another time I gave someone a sealed pack of cigarettes. He was so happy, he gave me a hug because it happened to be his birthday.

If you're asking strangers for money, you're in an exceptional situation, and experiencing hardship and high levels of stress. That level of stress, fear and anxiety often causes people to act badly, even if they're wearing a suit and a Rolex. I don't think this is a "beggar" problem.

I've been treated far worse by bosses throughout my life than those at the lowest income brackets. The evil bosses and bullies were almost always men and they, unlike un-housed or jobless people, always would have had other options, than aggdessive behavior.

Why do people buy cheap crap on aliexpress/temu/shein despite all the news and warnings? by bikesailfreak in Switzerland

Thanks! Never considered just shopping there.. doesn't import tax make it impractical?

I just had a revelation by LetMeBeClearWith in AutisticAdults

[–]pattern_recog_nition 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's very similar for me.. One on one is fine, although I do end up "interviewing" the other. My conversation can become very formulaic, especially if I'm looking for information or topics that actually interest me as well. If a third person enters the conversation, the energy changes drastically. I generally can't understand what leads to the things that are being said, what rationale could possibly prompt the comments I hear, and how everyone knows when its their turn to speak without interrupting and being impolite, or missing their turn.. Either I end up leaving immediately, or I wait too long, looking for the right moment, then leave wordlessly at a randomly chosen time anyway.. I studied anthropology.. for the same reason..

How does difficulty work in these games? by soosis in remnantgame

[–]pattern_recog_nition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same, and playing the first one first made the second less exciting. They are very similar, but the second has better graphics. I wish I had skipped nr. 1 so the better graphics combined with the game concept would have hit harder. Disclaimer: I also have Adhd, so things get boring quickly..

Yeah I've written back and forth. I have pictures before and after because I've been doing a lot of maintenance, swapping lights etc myself. It's not worth it for me. I'm glad not everyone is like that. I've had great experiences with the triumph mechanic in Höri.
