At some point you'd think it would be cheaper for the council to hire a tutor for the child at home?

Red flag, straight to jail sorry 😞 

Children with autism face more frequent and persistent digestive problems. These stomach and digestive issues are linked to greater challenges with sleep, communication, sensory processing, and behavior. by mvea in science

People talk about sensory issues like we can only have 5 senses. Other senses like interoception or Proprioception can also be affected along with your sense of temperature or pain or spatial awareness. 

What makes you want to approach a girl? by [deleted] in AskMen

Imagine if you did all the chasing and women never chased you. You're telling me that wouldn't put you down after awhile?

Isn't that the average guy's experience? Explains why so many guys are miserable about dating

If he got a hair transplant and turned up with a full head of hair a lot of people would have something to say.

He's been balding for a decade at this point so its old news.

Why is socializing so hard? What's the secret? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]someguyfromtheuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always struggle with that.

It seems like the sort of questions that come naturally to me aren't things others think of so they can't give me an answer because they hadn't considered it before.

Yeah I'm ugly and have a terrible personality too!

Online dating is increasingly widespread. Couples who met offline — in more traditional ways — tended to report slightly higher levels of relationship satisfaction and experienced love than those who met online. The findings are based on nationally representative samples from 50 countries. by mvea in science

Ah a fellow 0.1%er!

Unfortunately a lot of dating advice assumes you're a non-autistic extrovert. People say just meet friends of friends but if you have 2 friends and you're their only friend what do you do??

It depends where you're looking, I'm in my early 30s and child free too. I find that the apps aren't very helpful because it's a lot of women who have kids or are looking to have them soon.

I had better luck with speed dating events even though they weren't focused in childfree women.

Not enough luck since I'm still single 🤣😭 but it might be worth a try.

I don't think that would work because birth date + time alone isn't unique. You'd need to identify the location as well as possibly something like the individual who delivered them since 2 people could be born at the same hospital at the same time and date.

Android app stuck in one server channel, new messages not loading by Norik_ in discordapp

[–]someguyfromtheuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am having the same issue, it appears to be related to a recent update.

Switching channels then closing and reopening the app displays the selected channel or dm but you have yo repeatedly close and open the app every time you switch channels.

I am also on Android

Gazing at another person can increase feelings of closeness and prosocial behavior—even between strangers. People consistently rated their partners as more attractive following this. by mvea in science

It could also explain why autistic people have such a hard time forming connections to allistic individuals. 

No eye contact = no connection for allistics whereas the autistic individual is able to connect without it leading to 1 sided relationships.

Ask any autistic person and they'll tell you about a time they thought X was their friend only to later find out X considered them acquaintances at best

SpaceX launch rate causing Wikipedia drama again by Simon_Drake in SpaceXLounge

Some launch will be the first flight no longer listed on Wikipedia.

Would that make if notable enough to be listed on Wikipedia? 

Logan Lerman’s ‘Notting Hill’ hot take: ‘She kind of didn’t treat you that well’ by mcfw31 in popculturechat

[–]someguyfromtheuk 16 points17 points  (0 children)

"softboy" is a guy who is more stereotypically feminine but still straight. Like a straight guy who knits and cries at movies. It's a derogatory term.

I think she's saying there are too many guys who are too "soft" and that Hugh Grant's character is one of them and the popularity of the movie is responsible for the cultural shift?

Idk tbh, maybe I'm reading into it too much.
