Every single time something like this happens, it makes me feel very uncomfortable about how the average person views death
They will simply not recognize why the only reason they are feeling this way about Kirk is because the video of his death was extremely graphic, but would never have the same energy for the people dying in the same way in other countries. Idk I guess asking for consistency is asking for the world ... read full post

The 5 ND Love Locutions

I have a problem with the feeling of love, and I think it sabotages most of my relationships, platonic and romantic
I really suck at mapping feelings to situations. I don’t know what causes this (I don’t know if the what or the why even matters), but sometimes it can fucking hit. I can go from feeling everything to feeling nothing, and the latter makes me believe I never truly felt the way I thought I did. Can anyone relate? ... read full post

My favorite mug broke after multiple years of daily use
I don't think pottery can be repaired in a way that restores function. There are no epoxies or glues that can repair it and leave it food safe and able to store hot liquids for long periods. It's just broken now.

A short video on creating spaces for autistic people
https://youtu.be/_XwT6Hm5opkalt-text for thumbnail: The words "building spaces for autistic people" over a castle background. There are bookshelves in the corners and candles on the floor and a window in the middle. In the top right there is an autistic pride flag of 5 different colors.

Delaying engaging with media you know you will like
What the fuck is wrong with me. I can watch something that doesn't speak to me whether it is good or not, but the moment I start to like like it I just stop it and get afraid of continuing with it. For example my backlog is full of games that I know I will like but I never play because I am afraid of not properly enjoying them or understanding them. ... read full post

I don’t know if it’s the autism/adhd/general human part of me, but I’m having a really hard time dealing with everything that comes with aging
When I had an easy way to categorize my age, I felt way too comfortable around people simply because they were in my age range. Obviously it doesn’t work that way now that I’m exposed to people of all ages in work or when doing activities, but finding ways to relate has never seemed more difficult. I keep getting told that everyone is looking for some sense of community or whatever, but it’s so fucking hard to break in. Especially as a single person without many of the common life experiences you’re expected to have in your late 20s. What’s going on in my head is another problem. Like, I have some of the same voices that have been around since I was a kid. Aging, especially in a rapidly changing world going to shit in every way, blows. ... read full post

Any other ND comrades weird about money?
This has always been one of my quirks, even as a young child, and I'm wondering if it might be autism related. I have always saved my money to an unusual degree. When I was maybe 10~ I remember being given money for some fair thing and only getting water the whole day so I could save it. My parents have noticed and commented on it many times, being a "penny pincher" etc many times. I always comparison shop, think about value, agonize over purchases etc. My friends will nag and nag at me to buy a new game they like but if I'm not sure I'll like it and get "enough" time out of it I don't. I'll try and do the math on how many hours and how many times I'll use something. I have always had a lot of money saved up for my age. Even when its not my money I'm spending I'm still incredibly cautious about not wasting it. I've changed my order before to save someone else a few dollars. I check when I'm getting paid probably close to every day. I don't need the money, I have plenty in my checking account and few expenses. I can't tell you why I care so much about it. ... read full post

I can't tell when others are attracted to me, and it upsets me.
No matter how hard I try to read up on this or ask for people's help, I cannot tell when another person is attracted to me. And I feel bad about it, because what am I supposed to do if I want to do anything flirtatious or date? Trial and error? Just try it with anyone I think is attractive until I learn what the patterns are? Sounds like a quick way to be seen as That Guy. Even if I just ask, that's still a pretty forward move, letting someone know I think of them like that. So I really do not know what to do there, and it upsets me. ... read full post

With the escalation in Gaza and West Bank on top of the incident I'm going to limit how much I spend on telegram, lemmy, etc. because I can get massively hyperfocussed on this shit. Feels a lot like when the Ukraine Russia war heated up and I was stuck to my phone 8 hours a day. ... read full post

Just got diagnosed with ADHD lets gooooo
I'm starting Elvanse (Lisdexamfetmine) soon, and I was wondering how some people here prefer to take it? Like, do you do every day or do you take days off?
I know there's not a massive withdrawal from it like the SNRIs I take atm but I wonder if some folks prefer to have days off for whatever reason.
