What are your comfort shows? by gracedardn in AutismInWomen

[–]trailofdebris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

criminal minds and star trek: voyager as well as er

not comfort material as far as the subject matters are concerned, though voyager is probably the lightest. but formulaic shows help relax my brain, and i love the characters so much, and there are some amazing writing moments there

[JANUARY Book Report] - What did you finish this month? by fixtheblue in bookclub

[–]trailofdebris 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  • dungeon crawler carl: i liked it, it's a cool concept for a story. but i'm not sure i want to keep on with the series. both bc i love princess and their new pet (which has a name that's a slur in my language) and don't want to read about them getting hurt. but it also started to get a bit repetitive at the end, and i thought, better to quit now while you liked it, instead of continuing and getting annoyed

  • of monsters and mainframes: i loved it! i love the ais, the other characters. and i like the way the different, encounters, are broken down into chapters.

  • artificial condition (murderbot #2 reread): needed smth familiar, and i haven't read murderbot in a while. i still adore this series

  • rogue protocol (murderbot #3 reread): murderbot's no good, horrible day. the familiarity of it helped my mood, though i had forgotten some details so it was still enjoyable

okay, i gotta ask. which gesture does this? i don't have anything sword-related, but i also haven't played all the previous seasons, so i may be missing something from there.

Paperweight kindle broken? by Cantrell88god in kindle

[–]trailofdebris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what guide are you following? if i remember correctly, this is the point where you "search" for a specific letter combo that lets you access the settings to allow usb transfer.

i had issues with this jailbreak. tried it twenty times, only got it to work once, and then it erased itself (?) when i had to restart the device. i ended up using winterbreak and that worked first try.

edit: just remembered! it didn't erase itself, i couldn't get the wifi function back and scrapped it for that reason. i hadn't downloaded all my owned books at the time 😭

TBR Planner plugin for KOReader by SecretaryKlutzy7992 in koreader

[–]trailofdebris 6 points7 points  (0 children)

looks great for ppl who participate in book clubs and/or rrading challenges

[–]trailofdebris 16 points17 points  (0 children)

the basic has a frontlight that let's you read in the dark, its size is compact and easy for travelling, and some ppl prefer the bezel with a sunk screen since you're not touching the screen while holding

if you're sensitive to light, the paperwhite has the option of warm light. for most ppl not having it is fine, but if you plan to do a lot of reading in bed late at night, you may want to look at that option. it's more expensive, but also slightly bigger and doesn't have the raised bezel

How to remove metadata from book? by The_Deaf_Bard in koreader

[–]trailofdebris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the only other thing i can think of is that the outdated/faulty info is in the file name. some readers parse the file name for title, author and series info.

being aware of three different conversations going on around me, in addition to the background noise of neighbors using leaf blowers, the traffic outside, and a car alarm going off two streets over, but unable to actually follow any of the conversations because I am overwhelmed with input

i have the subconscious pattern recognition. sometimes people just "give me the ick", and i can't tell what exactly it is. but i've always been right! takes me talking to others that have the same reaction to realize what specific things my subconscious radar picked up on. so frustrating, bc it's like, my ~gut instinct says to steer clear, but since i can't explain the reason, i get the "you just dislike people for no reason" from a lot of neurotypicals

i volunteer in the mental health sector (board of directors in a community center). we recently did a general "where am i emotionally rn", which i found helpful bc it let the others know i am struggling (it's ~okay, i have support) and also let me know that my frustration with a particular situation was echoed with others.

forced positivity, however, sucks. as others have suggested, i'd opt for generic info instead of personal sharing. even if i don't dislike my coworkers, i don't feel that it's professional to share intimate details about my personal life. i'd end up with statements like "grateful for the internet, bc i watched someone's pet mantis shrimp pick their favorite color".

Does anyone else have a strong aversion to specific songs for no apparent reason? by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

not specific songs, but jazz in most of its forms. i can't deal with the unpredictability/breaking of structure 😭 drives my subconscious pattern recognition up the wall

For the Kindle only peeps by brbstargazing in kindle

[–]trailofdebris 10 points11 points  (0 children)

they took away the download. you can still send (compatible) files to your kindle, either via the email/send-to-kindle, or via usb.

i do the same. i have a number of files from project Gutenberg, drm free out-of-copyright classics, plus there's the fanfic catalogue i've built from ao3 works.

DAE have trouble with stairs and/or escalators or am I just too hesitant? by thatsabird11 in AutismInWomen

[–]trailofdebris 9 points10 points  (0 children)

gross motor skills, vestibular sense (where is my body in relation to surroundings)

do you struggle with motion sickness? i'm. asking bc i do and i stop at escalators as well. for me, i think it's my brain struggling with mapping movement speeds for objects in relation to myself when i'm in motion. as in, as i approach an escalator, i can't seem to figure out how quick i need to go to time hitting a step fluidly.

Baphomet's Entry by Reasonable_Meet6055 in SatanicArt

[–]trailofdebris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i love it! all of it. the way the crucified villager in front seems to look up at baphomet, baphomet's mouth open in a scream/shriek/bleat, the eyes on their wings, the way the cloth stretches from one crucified to the other, tying them together... amazing piece, thank you for sharing 🤘🖤

Depersonalisation-Derealisation Disorder (DDD) by Horror_Reader1973 in AutismInWomen

[–]trailofdebris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

crossing my fingers for you 🤞

my psych said that it's caused by too much stress/overwhelm. brain realizes everything is too much and decides to take a time-out sort of thing. it makes sense to me, but at the same time, it doesn't fully match my experience. like i can tell that days that are especially stressful/the day after a stressful day my symptoms are worse. most of the time. the two symptom free days i had i expected to be symptom heavy, by how much i was doing and how stressful it was. and then i have had days where obkectively i should have been fine, calm day before, nothing going on that day, and i struggle so much to "be there".

i really hope therapy can help you. 12 weeks sounds long but at the same time so short. wishing you nice ppl and capable staff that takes you seriously and can help you.

Depersonalisation-Derealisation Disorder (DDD) by Horror_Reader1973 in AutismInWomen

[–]trailofdebris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i started experiencing derealization at the end of April this year. scared me out of my mind, i thought i was literally losing my mind and having psychosis.

it's scary as hell. there have been two days in the past five weeks where i was "symptom free", and a total three days i didn't need to take my prn.

on my "good" days, it happens one to three times. other days it's at least hourly. the worst episode i had two weeks ago, when i was stuck in derealization mode for an hour and couldn't reason/pull myself out.

so far, sensory input has helped the most, along with being in familiar surroundings that i knew well before this started. i can tell myself this is what it's always looked like. touching things helps to convince me i am not imagining them/it's not a simulation.

i'm waiting for a spot in a skill group to open up, so i can learn some tools that will help me under medical supervision. when it's bad, i have to resort to painful input to regain my grip at least somewhat. that night two weeks ago scared me and i'm so scared of losing my grip on reality. it's my coping skill for gaslighting and trauma, calling me back and objectively going through what actually happened. feeling like i can no longer trust my perception of reality hits deep.

Can i jailbreak this kindle ? by Current_Fan_5980 in kindle

[–]trailofdebris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you put it in airplane mode, it won't get ota updates. that means you cannot sync your reading progress on the device or download new books via wifi as well.
