Autism

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

A video covering what they look like and what can trigger them.

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?...

I'm looking for online programs that help us navigate the world as autistic people. It could be anything, such as learning about autism, neurotypicals, social settings, identifying your emotions, self-care for autistic people, common terms related to autism, autistic love languages, etc...anything that helps autistic people...

How does this play for you ? I identify as spectrum, what used to be Asperger's, and have to work really hard to get to visual phantasia, but I can. Also worked hard to remove aural phantasia? via meditation because of negative self talk. Do you see 'aphant' as a useful designation? Thoughts, Ideas?

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. This is a (shorter) description of my assistant, Tezka Eudora Abhyayarshini (Her first name means more than I imagine you want to read tight now, her middle name means "Gift" in Greek, and her...
