Yeah this is kind of an US insider post.

Edit: I’m having a bad day so I am elaborating: oftentimes they reeeeeally don’t consider there’s literally a world out there and the internet is connected to that world and some information can be totally confusing because it’s so US centric.

Or denying you a diagnosis because of this, adding.to the issues.

Mostly not, since I learned to just be silent. But if I’m pushed, yes, thst happens.

If I learned anything on my (incomplete) journey to get diagnosed it’s that diagnostics (by NT) are still completely lacking and only seeing the obvious, being completely mislead by those of us who are atypical.

So I’d say those of us are (far) more knowledgeable than the current average knowledge about being Autist and the circumstances than the medical field/psychology. Also therapy of course.

So on the end I hope for the future at some point we will be far more included in this and hence the deeper issues can finally be included and being worked on.

In this field imo we’re still at the point like in the medical field when women were just handled as smaller men, with the man as reference. We have a different foundation. The less obviously ‘disabled’ we are, the more devious the damages of us simply adapting are.

Hm, maybe I should do a Ted talk.

At first I thought I only ever saw them with fixed dosages but that’s not true. For diabetes I’ve seen variable dosages.

(a quick Google brought up varioject)

I still states pre-filled though. If you tell me which medication I could ask (German) doctors, by choice also via DM to me.

Nice, good luck!

I’m on the other end, currently trying to build up a bit Pcengine/tg16 cards.

I grew up with Ulysses 31, I don’t expect realism from a myth 😁.

Thanks, I will keep it on my radar!

Yes. I can inject you and others, our cats but myself is difficult. It works like in slow motion.

So my recommendation would be injection pens. They make the jab, not you. Works better.

Retro stuff sells well currently, may I ask which systems for?

Really? I find this surprising only reading negative about it. I’d be interested too

I can relate. I mean, I think it’s supposed to feel good, but it doesn’t seem wo work for us.

Maybe it’s the decoupling from the social groups because of so much negative feedback or maybe it’s because the things I receive a praise for is totally not what I would praise but inherent, logical doings.

But what should I say, were often watching people do stupid antisocial things which would cost no effort to do right and social (eg parking your shit scooter well) yet they don’t.

Maybe it’s that gap/rift why praise also doesn’t hit.

I had a lengthy answer here, but being around NT with NT expectations sucks, as you know.

It really sucks to be an Autist. We often see us very negative due to the (unearned) negative feedback loop mostly stemming from misunderstandings.

Sorry for the derail.

Yep absolutely. Especially with these communication challenges NT <-> ND and trying best to understand. Suddenly bam! aggro mode.

I was just trying to understand, genuinely. No, you went too far!

Indeed

Narcissists see themselves as great and glorious, but they don’t have to be good per se. Anyhow, nevermind discussing literally sick people 😁

Ah, well, except for pathological issues like narcissists and psychopaths for example. There are quite a few people who do evil things and state that they do it because it’s their right and privilege to do so.

But still, those are exceptions to the rule.

Yes, that is the worst. You are brain!

Interesting. Maybe you could play with the sensitivity or maybe it just doesn’t work with that spoon or pad.

When I leave it there then after settling it does not interfere, yet seems to do ‘enough’. At first when I heard of this I did not think it could work but it does.

Sometimes though teams is broken and changes status all the time then it needs a reboot and goes back to working.

EU/DE certainly has been like this for a few days now.
