I frequently have to re-read the same paragraph over and over again before it sinks in. It is really frustrating, and makes reading a book take forever. It even happens when I’m listening to an audio book.

Do you struggle with this?

Is there a name for that weird sensation you get when you see 2 things of vastly different sizes compared or is it just my brain that does this?

10pm, out walking. In the window of a local art shop I see a large felted statue of a cat with weird teddy bear ears. I stop and look. Statue blinks. Dammit got me, cat. good effort.

A closer photo of the window of an art shop at night with art supplies and books arranged on a low shelf. Next to them is what looks like a large felted cat statue except it’s actually a cat, white with dark patches on its body and face.

I wonder what the easiest way to generate 4:3 NTSC video is?

My Knight Lore remake is still available on the old Retrospec site. Everything written from scratch in Delphi with some x86 assembly here and there. I also did the music and sfx. Only runs with wine due to using directx 8 (which later windoze versions had issues with):

The vast majority (but NOT all) #ActuallyAutistic humans live with alexithymia, making it difficult for us to either engage or express (sometimes both) with our emotional state.

When combined with interoception issues (in our bodies) we lose access to just about all feelings besides those that we intellectualize.

Getting in touch with both our emotions and our physical embodied sensations is essential for living fully.

So, there's a Star Trek: Lower Decks android game. It looks like this.

Now... how much do you want to bet this is Unity? I haven't downloaded it yet, and I definitely haven't reverse engineered it yet.

I once had a relationship with an AuDHD male. He had a certain trait. It's not very common, but I have heard from people that experience this.
It was scary and it ended the realtionship. He used to get into a form of meltdown where he would be uncontrollably agitated.. Rage, despair, IDK what to call it. It looked like anger. And then he would loose the memory about what had transpired. He did not recall what he had said or how he had behaved. It must be hard to live with this, cus I am sure, it wrecks relationships, period. Now I am curious, have any of you this trait, has anyone experienced this, either in my role or in his? I would be interested to hear more about this. I recently talked to him after many years of silence. It brought this all up. He didn't know about his neurodivergence at the time. And it scared the heck out of him to be hearing me describe, what took place, when he stopped having memory.

Autistic people may be dealing with many other issues, dubbed comorbidities by the medical community. I've listed some of them in the mind map below. Many can’t be seen by others.
