It always was.

I own the bundle and think it is good, but Mario kart 8 is better.

I had a little difficulty understanding the story, but aside from of course not knowing you nor your age or English even being my first language I think I get the gist.

Yeah, for like 30 years one small thing could ruin my day. I left that mostly behind me but I think wanting to avoid this is one of the big reasons for unhealthy masking. Luckily I’m older now, found out I’m an Autist and simply don’t gaf at many times.

The situation can still be hard.

Indeed, but I figure with adhd the poster can’t stop or always restarts 😉

I might be thinking in too simple terms but… Vlc (on android) can do everything and has no ads?

Thanks, it makes me so angry being sort of a cast out of society and then you even have to fight to get that acknowledged.

They’re not specialized in atypicals and adults and the result is expected - I’m atypical so they don’t see it in me. However at least it confirmed that in all done tests (4) my values are completely off the normal range aka well in ASS.

Still they deny. But maybe it’ll be a help to get a place for a better diagnosis.

Got my ‘diagnosis’ papers from the clinic. I specifically asked for a standardized test and icd diagnosis. Which they didn’t do, essentially ripping me off. The money is lost and I couldn’t yet bring myself to open the letter which can be nothing but disappointment.

We’re sorry, Carol.

I just abandoned it years ago. ‘deleting’ the account won’t do much of anything than not displaying the account to user side anymore or move it to a internal only database. At least that’s what I would do if I could and companies regularly do much worse.

If you think calling him is the right thing, call him. It won’t be easy (more than a regular call) and the exact words won’t matter but you want to do it.

Best of luck!

The forgetfulness of neurotypicals regarding negative memories.

You see, you/they tend to forget all that negative stuff. We don’t. We keep it almost forever.

So something political happens, or with a influential person or company, or whatever and we look back and say… It’s a trap, did you forget xxx?

Yes, yes you did. And it’s very disheartening. Grifters can gift forever, blind the masses etc. We’re beginners forever as humanity.

No way! I thought it was a documentary!

Kidding aside, yup.

Yes, but with that added layer between both.

These are the hardest discussions I currently have real life. The scale is different.

I think you found the double empathy issue.

And yes it’s not an issue between NT and ND groups, but between them.

I still have this issue on a daily basis with people that have known me for decades. It is the little things, and one side can get angry easily thinking the other is kidding or doing it on purpose.

Sorry, but croc on a micropenis does not rhyme.

I agree, women are savage to each other, men either don’t notice or don’t care mostly. Ofc there are some idiots

She might not even be dumb.

Hm. I see where you’re coming from. Currently I am really oversensitive regarding this topic because it quickly slips into the ‘It’s not so bad’ and ‘just pull yourself together’ territory.

And to be fair, sometimes that is right. But in general it leads to masking, breakdowns and burnouts which I experienced.

Hence the sensitivity.

I think this possibly makes sense for a Spectrum in general. I would also never want people to treat me over sensitive, either, so there we go.

Being able to communicate was always a great thing.

You can’t, yet.

And that’s what makes it suck even more.

It’s like with all people you just needed to believe that their suffering is real until it was provable. They never got an apology to having to suffer through being blamed as faking illness. And yes, even if faked or just subjectively bad, what’s the point? Why should they make it up?

As an example: I was blamed by my neurologist of faking and whining and a mrt proved I have multiple sclerosis. Yay, I win… I guess??

The point being: this is /autism. If you’re going to blame, just leave. Even if not everything has to be about neurodivergence, here it is.

Apologies for reacting this pissed, but my (energy) spoons are all spent because it’s Friday and was hell of a week to cope but that’s probably also something everyone has to manage…
