    It’s ok, the Autism :3 release is now stable so you should be good to install it; I’m currently running the Autism 3.1 test release in a sandbox.

  i’m diagnosed and i hear people say they are autistic every day. i also used to say it jokingly but turns out it was true so i’m pardoned in retrospect

    My boss at work is diagnosed and has said multiple times that I’m definitely on the spectrum. Also my coworkers have said that. Idk, I don’t feel autistic. But I do have very specific opinions on most matters, or absolutely no opinion at all.

  I’m hesitant to call it a _dis_ability, but it certainly is a _something_ability.

    Likes other says it’s a spectrum.

    Think about how a leg issue can be different;

    • some people might walk perfectly normal but it starts to hurt after 5 min and they can’t lift too much.
    • some might have a limp.
    • some might need a cane.
    • some might need a wheelchair but can still walk a few feet.
    • some might wheelchair and not be able to walk.
    • some might not a leg
    • some might not have either legs

    No matter what it is, it’s still a disability, just are some are more of a struggle than others.

    Autism has a spectrum too, the problem is somewhere in the brain so we can’t see it like we can see a cane or missing leg. Things like asthma or color blindness are disabilities too, but we can’t see those either.

      I think what they’re trying to point out that ppl with autism get really good and other, non normal, things. So it’s a negative in some ways but positive in others

      like it’s still a disability, but like there’s nuance in it

    I am high functioning. I’m one of those that people like to point to and say it’s a superpower. I have a successful career as a network engineer because of my technical mind. I’m generally funny and can make people laugh. I’ve been happily married for 25 years. I’m not even bad looking.

    I cannot drive without sunglasses. Light sensitivity means my eyes will tear up and force themselves closed in bright sun light. I wear flanged earbuds because I have auditory issues so loud sounds are painful and I can’t filter out background noise so in even slightly crowded spaces I become virtually deaf. I have an extremely sensitive gag reflex and have thrown up while brushing my teeth enough to a point where I will usually just power through and finish brushing my teeth. I have severe IBS-D and have spent more time in the bathroom than anyone should (smartphones became a life saver when they came along.). I have a kidney transplant and spent three years on dialysis because I have an autoimmune disorder called IGA nephropathy. I am left handed.

    It’s not always what people view as the “main” issue, so much as all of the co-morbidities that go along with the issue.

    For my kiddos it is a disability. 😕 They have amazing talents, but he world just isn’t built for them.

    Autism spectrum disorder can present in a really wide variety of ways. Sometimes it’s severely disabling, sometimes it’s a mixed bag of strengths, weaknesses and quirks.

    With social behaviour uber control, it’s a superpower in my line of work.

  Hey let me have my jokes so I don’t freak out thinking about my serious social/spatial impairments and sensory oversensitivities. Or how the smallest break in my flow/routine throws off my whole week and I’m a dysregulated mess.

  I’m allowed some fun.

  • SharkWeek@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

    Yeah, having some in-jokes certainly helps me feel less weird when there’s some behaviour I can’t mask, etc (eg. being in physical pain due to the noise at a crowded bar, for example)

  • Lydia_K@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    You think FluxPose is going to live up to the hype and finally solve the full body tracking problem?

  It really just told me that I wasn’t just a shitty person. I was autistic and shitty.
