Occasionally I have these days where I don’t feel like doing work or chores. So I’m thinking, why not just enjoy myself, do something that interests me?...
The Good Doctor, a show about a surgeon who is fighting his Hollywood Autism, complete with all the stereotypes, and trying to get through life and career at a hospital. Plays very hard into the “idiot savant” trope.
It seems like an ok show from the bit of season 1 I watched, but then I had an Autistic kid and learned I was Autistic myself and had a deep dive into Autism life… And yeah it does a pretty poor representation of it and I don’t think I would want to go back to that show by this point.
Donald Trump said he would accept home confinement or jail time after his historic conviction by a New York jury last week but that it would be tough for the public to accept....
I’m actually still coping with the fact that I can use AI for work. I hate it. It feels like cheating and I learn little from using it vs. figuring the thing out myself, but this is a smart use.
At least we put them on pretty 3D animated carbonated beverage advertisements for Christmastime for a while, that must’ve felt really nice until you consider that humans are exploiting your cute and cuddly experience to increase shareholder revenue due to sales of an unnecessarily sugared beverage made with tropical fruit seeds
Boy trickle down economics sure is looking GREAT, huh?? Share holder success is better than ever, now if we could just do a thing about those pesky peasants… They better not go after poverty assistance or work benefits, that comes out of our taxes, can’t have our portfolio drop a fraction of a percent, can we?? Yep we’ll just exploit the masses until there’s nothing left and then… Uh…
Self-diagnosed with way too many symptoms of Autism and ADHD.
I’m moderately near sighted so my dependence on my vision as an important sense is lower than normal - I don’t focus on visuals very well to begin with, and then Autism on top of it.
If I look at someone, which itself isn’t frequent, I look at their face, I don’t look right at their eyes. Even when I feel like I’m looking toward the eyes I’m kind of “not focusing” on them per se.
People ask me what someone’s eyes look like or their expression was or even eye color, I couldn’t tell you. Brain straight up doesn’t register it unless I go out of my way to monitor it and then I’m weird for doing so.
Eye contact is a bit “intimate” IMO. You don’t need it for day-to-day conversation.
I have eye contacted my wife, but I trust her. Not a regular occurrence. And even then it’s a bit odd, but it’s her, doesn’t bother me as much.
Hah, I have one that likes to just float in front of my shed for some bizarre reason, I always try to avoid it for concern that it could sting but knowing this I may just ignore it now lol, ty
A Tango Gameworks developer has reacted to an Xbox executive reportedly asking for more “smaller games that give us prestige and awards” with a picture of Hi-Fi Rush’s awards....
That’s how it started. I eventually discovered I was Autistic. Don’t dismiss yourself - it may lead you on a path to discover something new about yourself that may benefit your life.
Is somebody ever completely demotivated with everything? How do you deal with it?

How do you experience eye contact?
I’m still on my journey of understanding the differences between autism and other. My focus today is eye contact, so let’s have a discussion!...
