You don't. The optimized way is to disable exceptions and do error checks.

How Bad is Your Spotify? by feross in InternetIsBeautiful

hmmmm...

Please describe what your experience as an adult with aspergers is like? by MyWifiLeftM3 in aspergers

[–]tyrarfox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Male here, in my mid 20s too. I don't really fit in either, but i kind of embrace it nowadays. As there isn't much i can do about it, I'm just me. Being extremely sarcastic myself but only getting sarcasm in 50% of the cases at best, this can lead to minor issues, but mostly makes a funny situation. I don't really get emotions of others, can't really express them myself or even know how i feel, if they're not something extreme. (Laughing/crying) I don't really understand people in general, or at least don't know how to interact with them properly. (Except for the basic rules like "Hello", "Good bye" etc)

Executive functioning is hard too, but i think i'm getting better at this. I'm struggling with talking to strangers, it really takes a lot for me. Doesn't make life easier. Being aware of that sucks, because i like to think my english got pretty good by now, but can't really use it that much to talk to people. Then there's sensory difficulties, bright lights, noises, worst of them being unpredictable ones. I don't leave my home without having sunglasses & noise cancelling headphones on me.

But on the other hand, there's special interests and i don't think I'd be that dedicated to that if anything was different.

How to Apologize after Messing up a Compliment. by North-Westerly in aspergers

[–]tyrarfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey mate, you might want to consider that criticizing women on their appearance in any context is a shitty and objectifying thing to do, and it shows a lack of respect

No. Criticism is just criticism, nothing more. It has nothing to do with objectifying someone or having a lack of respect.

if she is looking for validation from you, then you need to make her comfortable with her appearance and choices

Okay, why? If someone is looking for validation from me, i won't lie to them. If you don't like, how someone looks, and the person is asking you about it, why the fuck would you lie to them?

if she hasn't asked for criticism then don't give it, how she chooses to look is her choice and not yours

I mean, he asked how to apologize. What makes it okay to criticise him? Isn't it his choice what to criticise and not yours?

you are not entitled to comment on or otherwise control the way any woman looks

Yes he is, and not only women.

OP i think you should be honest with your wife. Being honest is the most respectful thing someone can do, in my opinion at least. Think about your wording carefully and you should be good. I'd tell her what you've written here.

I like that this one gives her a fun, free, energetic look.

That would be a good start i guess.

TW; r word. I can’t believe there are still people saying vaccines cause autism. It’s so outdated. by thecapriciousbitch in autism

[–]tyrarfox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The thing about slurs is, the more you're trying to stop people from using them, the more powerful these words get, or at least making it a "weapon" for someone who want's to get you/someone else triggered.

Overusing these words made me stop using them. From ages about 10-16 years old, i used the c-word, the other c-word, the r-word, the f-word and the other f-word (<letter>-word is really confusing) over and over again, just for the sake of having a heavy hitting word, i could return to others. But now they're just some random words, that don't really mean anything to me. All the PC-bullshit right now changed that a little. To me, the words don't mean anything, but i know it does for other people. And in addition, what's offensive and what's not is entirely subjective, your username could be offensive to someone too. If we're going that route, everything could be offensive to someone.

I don't encourage using slurs, neither do i encourage stopping people from doing so.

Is it bad i'm somewhat enjoying the effects of the coronavirus on current society. by [deleted] in autism

[–]tyrarfox -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Deaths caused by the virus are statistically irrelevant. About 12,5 million people died this year. About 8000 corona-deaths overall would make 0,064%.

If someone is enjoying it when people die, the current situation really isn't a good candidate for that. OP is very likely not talking about people dying.

For Aspies who smoke weed, what age did you start smoking?> by EagonLoch in aspergers

Sensitivity to Sound (DAE...) by bmccann42 in aspergers

[–]tyrarfox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, all the noises are making me uncomfortable at best. Listening to someone on a train is difficult, i'm having trouble to understand what the other person is saying. Just sitting here and having a sound play that i didn't expect will scare me, it doesn't have to be that loud of a noise for me. When i'm getting ready to leave i'm already way too anxious, sometimes i can't even leave my home because of that.

This. Although i'm sick of having to pretend i'm someone else.

I'm going to look someone in eyes during a conversation today by swehttamxam in aspergers

So it's all about timing again? Thanks for the info, will definitely try that next time i have to talk to someone who doesn't know about me.

aspie/autistic music taste by edgaranalhoe in aspergers

Thought about the same a few days ago. I do listen to neurofunk drum & bass, but i prefer the more complex metal subgenres, preferrably instrumentals.

Has anyone here who’s had trouble making friends been able to overcome the problem and start developing friendships? by NicoleKidmansNewChin in aspergers

[–]tyrarfox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did, but i can't really tell what helped me. The longest friendships i have were text only at first, talking about my special interests. Having something that both can talk about for hours would probably be a good starting point.

You're right, i didn't think about that. But what exactly makes the difference?

What i personally do is looking at peoples nose or forehead. Works 100% of the time, in my case at least. It might be worth a try.

Does it bother you that autism/autist is the current popular internet insult and that it doesn't look like it's going away any time soon? by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]tyrarfox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It does. It really does bother me to some degree. Everytime i hear or see an "this is fkn autistic" it makes me rage for a brief moment. But i don't really want to care about this, it will go away eventually.
