I’ve played it, but don’t get a lot of time during the week to dive into new games. I really like it. It’s fun and doesn’t seem focused on just catching animals.

I did consider that myself. We do work on a case by case basis, and I can agree that a first time offense should be dealt with as has been done thus far. Let us take a moment to discuss it, then I will update with what we decided.
I just noticed this while responding to someone via Matrix that I met through this community. I have been making online friends with y’all. Before this, I had to be really considerate over how much I say, or about what, or the implications…you know, the whole autistic social experience, always waiting for that moment when...
Indeed I am in the US. In 2016, I went to the only person within 100 miles who could diagnose and she only did kids. She did not help. So last year I wanted to try again and she was still the only one we could find. I was on a wait list for a year.
This time she didn’t give me the RAADS test. She asked me a bunch of questions relating to adults. I still had to do the pattern recognition test but no numbers this time. I had to wait a month to get the results. My husband was there to help fill in the behavioral side, as I didn’t know until he told me that a lot of the stuff I do is related to autism.
In the middle of all this I discovered that the Easter Seals have the ability as well because someone my husband knows got hers through them.
Honestly it’s worth the stress and anxiety of the wait from second test to the results. I can now be confident that I am the way I am for a reason.
My guess would be that with the huge amount of American males (it is a big country after all) people just assume. And women are known to care about animals more, whether that is true or not.
I’ve been called a guy before and my name doesn’t exactly strike people as male. I am female. I’ve been on the internet long enough not to care.
I would say no. Lots of the super smart people become eccentric. I suspect any smarter and they’d just end up flat crazy. Dealing with being the only one in the room who understands what you’re saying can be lonely.
I’m working with a group of people, some 10 years younger than me, who don’t really understand technology. It feels weird.
I’m very interested in understanding. But I don’t want to always be the smartest person in the room. I’m already the smartest in most situations I’m in IRL. If it was always like that, I’d definitely go crazy.
How do you guys deal with parenting? My wife had work events all weekend last week so I had to be on point 100% and then continue to all week. Now this weekend we had a girl scout hike and my wife wanted to go to a special event with me in the evening. I haven’t had time for any real solitude for two weeks and am...
When I had kids, autism was still for boys. I think I’m in a minority though because I wanted kids a lot. So I see them as independent extensions of myself. I didn’t get the socialization issues with them, and would make a point to bring at least one kid when they got older as my support person. They didn’t know this though.
It was actually easier for me to be around other people when they were young because they gave me something to talk about.
Back when I had this issue, it was because I had a stressful job, and all I want to do is go home but you get people on these winding ass country roads who don’t know them so they go 20 under!!
Now I just get mad if someone is stupid and almost hits me.
My husband wakes up 5 minutes before he has to leave, and if he’s going 15 minutes away, that means he GETS UP 20 minutes before he has to be somewhere.
The only exception to that rule is when I need to be somewhere, because he will ask me what time I need to leave, and he will actually get up 30 minutes before that time. Essentially, he only makes sure he’s awake enough to drive when I’m in the car. I don’t know how I’m supposed to feel about that because I’m happy he’s accommodating my needs, but that also means he values my life more than his, whereas I worry about his safety.
My biggest one is $30 total. That’s also my only patreon currently. I will do more of those soon. I have a list. The youtube memberships probably add up to somewhere around that amount in total. Yes it’s probably way more than premium. I really loved the pay what you want phase of music, but at that time I was broke.
I am a big believer of supporting talent whenever I can. I am grateful that I have the chance to do so now. My current budget for that stuff is low right now because we are working on moving.
Thanks to the state of the US, we would have been considered middle class before, but now it’s back to lower. Your dollars don’t stretch very far. I’m lucky to have a husband who feels the same way I do. We will never be rich in money, but we help as much as we can wherever we go. We also make donations to non-profit organizations we know don’t use that money to line their own pockets. So those are the smaller places that always get overlooked. I foster kittens, and we sponsor each one. That means we pay the fees associated with adopting said kitten.
Apologies for the info dump, but it’s a subject I love. I’ve been dreaming of the day I could do these things since I was in single digits.

Finally!
I got my diagnosis this morning!
Meanwhile there is a whole generation that doesn't understand this joke (feddit.de)
Why is that on the internet, people assume you're a male from America, but if you're a vegan on the internet, people assume you're female?
Assuming a button that, every time you push it, your intelligence goes up. The obvious and sane thing to do is to push the button all day. Yes? No? Maybe? Is there something that I'm missing here?

Why do people road rage?
Is it an isolated event or does it have any correlation with anything else?
