Me: I'm an adult!

Friend: Sure, what did you eat for lunch?

Me, thinking about the Walnut Sticky Bun, Bowl of Bing Cherries, and large handfuls of Corn Chips I ate when I realized I forgot to eat breakfast: Ummm... kind of a salad.

What are your thoughts on self-diagnosis being belittled by many in the autistic community?

For clarity, I’m not asking to start a debate, just a genuine discussion. I currently don’t have the option to get a diagnosis, but feel fairly confident that the research I’ve done over the past year and a half has been legitimate and credible.

I don’t feel comfortable saying that I am definitively autistic, but I am ok with saying I’m “self-suspecting.” @actuallyautistic

@ketmorco@fosstodon.org avatar

@chevalier26 @actuallyautistic self-accepting perhaps?

The bits and pieces that give me more thoughts than a toot can contain:

  • md dx requires negative impacts to life, but what if you work your life right?
  • dx doesn't come by accident - you or someone has to sus
  • brain traits are misdiagnosed by professionals all the time

A lot of ASD traits resonate with me even though I don't have a dx. How much was a product of supportive home life? 🤔

Properly photographing a 3.5" floppy disk for archival is annoyingly complicated. The label has THREE sides!

I've already built an automated system to take a picture of the front of a disk, but really I need to take THREE photos if I want to get the whole thing.

That means either three cameras or I need to rotate the disk 90° and then 180°, which is going to really stress the limits of my mechanical engineering skills.

Some people say there are no atheists in foxholes.

That may be true, but there are even fewer Christians* in brothels.

I never watched "Seinfeld" back in the day, but I'm pretty sure "extreme left", "PC crap", and "woke" are pretty indicative that Jerry's spewing some bullshit.

That's just my opinion, though.

I HATE TEAMS

When I press RETURN, that means POST the damned thing.

I never thought I'd say this in a million years, but Slack's Electron app is BETTER than MS's Electron app.

I'm going to really hate engaging with IM now. SINGLE line, have to click "Post" with the mouse...

Only, "Wow. I didn't know that was even possible."

@yakkoj I mean, I kind of like it because, well this could have been an email, but I would not expect that sort of shenanigans without a single line entry box and a free-form text box that are very clearly and obviously a subject and text box.

What do people read?

I was an avid reader of fiction when I was a child. Novels about challenging issues or strange fantasy worlds. In many ways reading was an escape to a safe place, but those books were also places where I could learn about how “people” worked. How they thought, felt & behaved. The diversity in those things.

I loved The Little Princess and The Secret Garden, by Frances Hodgson Burnett, because they were about children who were different & how they coped. I loved The Chronicles of Narnia because, although quite dated now, the girls had real adventures alongside their brothers. There was a series of books about witches, good & bad, which I loved but can’t remember the titles or author.

I loved Ivan Southall’s books, where tweens & teens faced dangers, often without the support of adults. (Marsden’s Tomorrow when the War Began is reminiscent of Southall.)

And as an adult, I still like youth & YA fiction, probably for the same reason, because I’m still learning how humans work. I also like adult fiction, but the naivety of youth fiction appeals.

And TBO, I read much more non-fiction than fiction nowadays. Obviously there’s the Autism & ADHD stuff that is currently dominating my reading, but also social commentaries of all sorts, by feminists, sociologists, etc.

@ginsterbusch @pathfinder @Susan60 @actuallyautistic I just started reading Pratchet and I actually really enjoyed The Color of Magic the series (currently[?] available on Prime). I think it may have pulled from a couple of his books because I don't remember it exactly from when I read the novel of that name. Samwise played a very excellent Twoflower 😂

ketmorco,
@ketmorco@fosstodon.org avatar

@Susan60 @actuallyautistic if you have not yet, I expect you would enjoy Patricia C. Wrede's Enchanted Forest series. The basic premise is that Princess Cimorene is, well, a Princess. However, her magic lessons, fencing, and other practical arts are continually put a stop to because those things are Not For Princesses. So she runs off, and finds her way to the dragons.

It's YA FIC, but I've (re)read them several times, including to my children.

another day at the "teach the security team about how Debian patches security holes" factory

CVE-2023-48795 was fixed in Debian's versions of openssh in 2023! Security team's braindead Tenable scans are flagging us as "vulnerable" because we don't advertise a version of 9.6 or greater.

This is what happens when you blindly trust automation.

"If you're under 25 your brain isn't fully developed, so you can't be trusted to make informed decisions"

I'm seeing this a LOT lately, especially today with the Cass Review fallout. And it's utter guff, based on hearsay, misunderstandings of neuroscience, or wilful ignorance.

Why? I'll tell you why

@twipped@twipped.social avatar

For nearly a decade I was a strong fan of using jQuery and Backbone to enhance server generated html.

What led me to abandon that and embrace #React was not reactive development, it wasn’t the performance of dom diffing, it wasn’t any of the things that were inherent to React… it was JSX and pluggable, composable components.

Now, after two years working in a large scale react SPA with federated microfrontends… I’m finding that I miss the simplicity of Backbone and jQuery.

Funny, that.

I've been actually autistically honest to my @actuallyautistic girlfriend, and now she won't talk to me.

Sometimes I wish I could lie

ketmorco,
@ketmorco@fosstodon.org avatar

@ScriptFanix @actuallyautistic it may or may not have been related to the kind of discussion like "does this make me look fat?" - but that's the societally acceptable lie - the real question is "do you find me attractive?"

That's not easy to unpack in the moment, of course.

Especially since most of us wouldn't ask a question we didn't want an honest answer to 🥲

I don't have any other help, but I do wish the best for you (and everyone)

I remain convinced that 2.5 generations of Americans have been brainwashed by television and the the internet to believe 2 completely wrong ideas:

  1. everything happens for a reason.
  2. everything works out in the end.

I fear we’re about to learn just how wrong.

@shoq to be fair, there is a reason, and the reason is greed
