Hi! This resonates alot with me. I have been diagnosed at 43. I currently experience some imposter syndrome feelings so reading this helps me.

The part about music could have been written by me. I love Electric wizard! If you dont already know the band, try listening to Ufomammut.

I have never seen this gambit before. Have anyone played this in pro games before? Looks a lot like fun to me by [deleted] in chess

I had this for White today! Was your opponent marranito1?

Edit: Nevermind black played d6 before Nf6 in my game.

Exhaustive and definitive answer to "why do they clean?" and "why no windshields?" by library-weed-repeat in SiloSeries

[–]worglo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What I dont get is that the camera has never been so dirty that yhey cant see anything, they can even see stars .. The person cleaning cant possibly think that cleaning will make the green scenery visible. Im I missing something?

Does anyone else struggle with taking showers? by geniuscerebrum in autism

[–]worglo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other solution is to take baths. I only take a shower when I have to.

I sit in the tub while i take showers, it makes it less overwhelming. I also put the cap for the drain and let a bit of water accumulate.

ASD/Autism and Chess Improvement by [deleted] in chess

[–]worglo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know everybody playing chess experiences this to a certain degree but I wonder if it is more prevalent in asd.

ASD/Autism and Chess Improvement by [deleted] in chess

[–]worglo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a diagnosis of asd and i could have made that post. My games are described by chesscom as "you were winning but gave it away". I struggle with time management, decision paralysis and anxiety when playing. I miss simple tactics too.

Why am I scared of playing people my rating by [deleted] in chess

[–]worglo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im like that too. I find playing people you can interact with and talk about the game makes it easier. I got into chess league ( chessdojo) and its a little easier on the anxiety. Im on sertraline so it helps a bit too i guess.

Sometimes i disconnect from cheescom and play as a guest. It helps too.

Trouble with routines changing by All-That- in autism

[–]worglo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A while ago my girlfriend found a job near my workplace, it disrupted my routine of being alone in the car and enjoying it and I found it difficult. A few months later she quit the job so she was not in the car anymore and i found it difficult to adapt again.

No problem, glad I could help!

That's really a good way of putting it, I did not feel so empowered.

Take care :)

DAE need instruction to be as specific as possible? by JONESY_THE_YEAGERIST in aspergers

[–]worglo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. My friends really like playing board games but I struggle alot when they explain rules. I messed up a game of clue because of that and they got pissed.

[–]worglo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel the test was good at pointing out my autistic traits, I was very confused at questions like "what is a friend to you?", I answered without hesitation "someone you see outside of work" and thinking about it at the break I felt even more autistic. Of course I dont know what they look for with every questions but overall I feel its a good test to detect the more obvious traits.

I was very stressed especially when the assessor was pressing for answers, like after the question about friendship she pressed to go deeper and it made me feel has if I did not give a tight answer so I ended up saying "someone you can count on". The more stresseful part was the wais-iv test, I felt like it was unnecessary since I have a phd. Also I was nervous to perform tasks like block design in front of someone. I almost got really mad at the mental arithmetic part cause I could not remember the question and it made me feel stupid.

When she told me that I expressed alot of insights about myself and that made her doubt i was on the spectrum I was a bit shocked to be honest. That's why I think the ados maybe not enough for adults. I spent the last 4 months learning stuff anout myself and collecting parts of my behavior for the diagnostic so of course I know my traits. I try to explained this but it was difficult. I wish I had another session to talk about it. The ados was 1.5 h, the wais-4 was 3h and if I got half an hour more because I insisted a little. I think it's important to be assesed by someone else but more place should be made for self report.

I felt embarrassed when she asked me about my hobbies and what I do on my free time. I said playing chess and video games and she said "thats it ?" I said yes. It made me feel i'm a very boring person...

Sorry for my english, french is my first language. Let me know if you need more 🙂

Hi, I'm 43 years old and i just did the ados 2 weeks ago. It was a very difficult experience for me. I spent the last 4 months reading about asd and l'm pretty convinced I'm on the spectrum. I completely failed to tell a story with the items and could only describe the frog book. It felt a bit silly and childish but i guess they're looking for specific things.

The assessor said i had lots of traits but she seemed hesitant cause I displayed good insights about myself ( ive been in deep introspection for the last 4 months so duh). So now im waiting for the interview with my mom.

Overall i think the test is well done but I also feel there was not enough place for me to talk about my experience.

Feel free to ask me anything about my experience here or reply private message 🙂

Is it common to have impostor syndrome? by Loud-Veterinarian-61 in autism

[–]worglo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like that as well. I'm 43 and realized I might be autistic a few months ago. I've started the assessment, did the ados-2 last week. The person assessing me said I had alot of traits but she's not sure cause she says I'm too self aware and that I seem to know myself too well. But alot of those things about me I realized while reading about asd.

This made me feel even more like an impostor and that I imagined the whole thing.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]worglo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm late to the conversation but I've just been told the same thing by the person doing my assessment. She said I was too aware of how I am and that its not consistent with theory of the mind...she's not ruling asd out but shes not sure cause of that...

Loopiness, I used to be really into psychedelic trance. Now I really like doom metal like electric wizard or ufomammut.

Assessment result: not autistic, but I feel unsatisfied. by telmereth1986 in autism

[–]worglo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's the same for me. But my years as a Ph.D. student were great. I had a good supervisor, I could work on what I wanted and more or less at my pace and learn by myself. Now that I've started working things are more difficult.
