Autism

II have thought about this off an on for a while, and decided I will talk more about it here since I haven't been able to find a more welcome place for someone who is considered spiritual and on the autistic spectrum. I'm not even sure what the right place is though as there are times I tend to feel lost in more ways than one...

Makes me wonder about what other amazing things are out there that I'll never find just because of bad luck....

For me it's always been a huge issue. I am not even that old but I've still noticed a massive change in how autism is seen from when I was growing up until now....

Interested in hearing from experiences that don't directly align with the question as well.

I saw a (what now I understand to be a single stage) steam engine at a museum a few months ago. I must understand how this works. Anyone have any good links to information from "concept" to "operation" for steam engines?...

So I'm a shut-in with a ton of problems and no money. My life revolves around World of Warcraft and Destiny 2 which is sad in its own right I'm sure. Anyway every single time I try to find a community (guild or clan) it goes to hell within a month or so. They always say I'm too negative about the game or my performance. No...

Since I haven't been able to get the help I need, I'm creating my own help using Psychology, Affective Computing and Machine Learning.

Sorry if this topic is stupid, I feel very stupid right now. I got transferred to a new department and I've had 2 or 3 clashes with the new boss about me not getting the hint. He finally gave me a metric, a number to get to. He spelled it out. I can do that, but I'm just freaking out that he's gonna fire me because I couldn't...

Tell me if any of you relate to my ramble:...

We know that we behave and think differently. We generally have more difficulty with social situation and are hypersensitive to sensory input. But to me, these seem like impacts of a fundamental difference. For example, we have social difficulties in NT environments because something with our neurotype is different. What is...

We have changed the name of our matrix space to better reflect it's separate identity. Nothing was changed besides the name....

Hey y'all,...

Have you accepted the Autism?

Let's see how much we have in common with our backpack inventories.

Trying to get an idea of how NTs see us. I know that when I see autistic people, I see someone that's like me. Obviously, that's not how NTs perceive us, so what do we look like to yall??
