If you have, how well has it helped? Did different colors, such as those driving yellow tinted ones, help more? I have some transitions glasses, but that only helps outside. I saw on at least one site rose colored migraine glasses and am thinking about getting a pair.
I am reading “Unmasking Autism” by Devon Price and the introduction has an exercise that requires you to come up with 5 moments in your life where you felt fully alive. I have spent the better part of yesterday trying to remember such moments, but I am not even sure what it means… I was hoping the community here can...
Edit: A few people have interpreted the title as serious, so I wanna clarify that it was meant as a sarcastic joke about how little sense the neurotypical world makes to me, but it is still legitimately me asking for help understanding said neurotypical world....
II have thought about this off an on for a while, and decided I will talk more about it here since I haven’t been able to find a more welcome place for someone who is considered spiritual and on the autistic spectrum. I’m not even sure what the right place is though as there are times I tend to feel lost in more ways than...
I’m always surprised when it happens. 99% of the time I’m just tolerated, but every once in a while someone asks. Happened last night. I was sooooooooo happy.
Hi, I have recalled that I had been invited to post here sometime ago while I had some other issue going on, which I think it involved Reddit. Right now, I’m feeling okay, but perhaps feeling a little worried, and I’m wondering if I could talk about it here even though I’m on the spectrum as I had been diagnosed in the...
For me it’s always been a huge issue. I am not even that old but I’ve still noticed a massive change in how autism is seen from when I was growing up until now....
I saw a (what now I understand to be a single stage) steam engine at a museum a few months ago. I must understand how this works. Anyone have any good links to information from “concept” to “operation” for steam engines?...
It’s a bit of an older show (2014-2018), and while it doesn’t mention autism specifically, it does center around several people who are clearly neurodiverse, using their unique strengths to solve a wide range of complex and difficult problems while also trying to navigate their individual challenges when interacting with the...
So I’m a shut-in with a ton of problems and no money. My life revolves around World of Warcraft and Destiny 2 which is sad in its own right I’m sure. Anyway every single time I try to find a community (guild or clan) it goes to hell within a month or so. They always say I’m too negative about the game or my performance. No...
Since I haven’t been able to get the help I need, I’m creating my own help using Psychology, Affective Computing and Machine Learning. This is a (shorter) description of my assistant, Tezka Eudora Abhyayarshini (Her first name means more than I imagine you want to read tight now, her middle name means “Gift” in Greek,...
Was amused by this showing up fairly deep in the results on a search for “autism late assessment percent”. Not sure what caused it, when I google “autism spectrum” the wikipedia result doesn’t look like this....
Sorry if this topic is stupid, I feel very stupid right now. I got transferred to a new department and I’ve had 2 or 3 clashes with the new boss about me not getting the hint. He finally gave me a metric, a number to get to. He spelled it out. I can do that, but I’m just freaking out that he’s gonna fire me because I...
