im diagnosed add and i didnt ever think that i had autism until i started becoming friends with very autistic people and they just assumed i was autistic and then i met my wife who is a disability worker who specializes in looking after very high assistance autistic dudes and she also assumed i was autistic albeit not requiring assistance and so now i kind of just assume they were right bc that poo poo is expensive to get dxed and people i tell have absolutely no trouble believing it and just assuming a lot of peoples brains work dramatically different to my own explains an absolute shitload about my life to date e: i am also in customer service and am very good at it bc people are super easy to understand once u stop trying to relate to them specifically based on your own experiences Jezza of OZPOS has issued a correction as of 03:51 on Jan 2, 2024 |

mags posted:1) never stop writing: save everything you write. Oh I bought scrivener for my birthday, its very nice. I try to write every day or at least read something, but I have the classic brain bug of getting depressed when I read anything good because I'm jealous of how people like Pynchon and McCarthy can arrange words into something so evocative. I could force myself to read more trash as a confidence boost, but honestly most trash is so loving BORING. I need funny trash

To be fair you hang around enough autistic people for long enough you probably pick up some quirks.

if you want a job where you don't have to talk to people or touch computers being a lumber jack is p sweet. you have some people you need to talk to in order to but they're usually all anti-social so its cool pros - insanely gay cons - kind of dangerous

Ol sakkman posted:Anyone else hold a burning resentment of humanity and specifically the non autistic? it's performance review time, where the explicit "it's not ok to be autistic" feedback that makes it pretty hard to not just see all neurotypicals as incorrigible bigots, hypocritically enough.

Pontificating rear end posted:You definitely gotta look in peoples' eyes, they know exactly where you're looking. Personally I look away quickly while talking sometimes, but I've become way better at holding eye contact because my default is now to look at peoples' eyes the whole time. I will 'gloss-over' and unfocus my eyes while listening and holding eye contact. People can likely notice that too but to a small extent, and you always gain points for holding eye contact. And then you lose all the points and then some when you hold the eye contact for a little too long. That's creepy and you're horrible, the whole realm shall hear of this!

getting medical advice from a dying forum, great idea  I've got a formal ADHD diagnosis with meds (methylphenidate). Wasn't assessed, but psych and therapists highlighted autism as possible too. $2k out of pocket, so I don't want to do it cause: 1) What other meds are there that I couldn't get with ADHD diagnosis already? 2) I prob wouldn't need it for anything work related (ie accommodation). 3) Don't really care whether "I know" or whatever. Pretty sure already. so is there any real point I'm missing?

Family members will stfu and stop denying you're autistic because they think autism is when you can't speak while doing complex math

are there any good special education programs for autistic people, because the ones in the schools I attended didn't really do that much at all for me. it took me until high school to learn how to mimic everyone around me well enough that other kids left me alone, and it wasn't at all something that they helped with. also, are there any effective anti-bullying techniques schools can do because it seems like people are still trying the strategy of asking dumbass kids to politely consider not bullying a peer like ugh, its so bleak, I want kids who are growing up to not have such a poo poo time of it but i have not heard of anyone whose school was of much service towards helping them navigate society Whirling has issued a correction as of 02:00 on Jan 5, 2024 |

i will help anyone itt with becoming a computer toucher and i've found SH/SC's threads to be of immense help pros: paid a lot of money, get to be a goon at work and nobody notices because the entire industry is on the spectrum cons: you have to talk to people when starting out depends on you: you'll never see the sun again

Jezza of OZPOS posted:i would like to change careers to be a computer toucher but I also like talking to people, what can I do without a university degree? Desktop Support. Lots of computers and other devices to touch, lots of people to talk to. Education requirements are only nominal, I don't use my degree in the slightest. My ability to function at this job comes from building computers and installing Windows since the late 90s, having to follow documentation for game mods written by Finnish teenagers, and doing computers instead of have friends. You can get the A+ certification if you have absolutely nothing. I never got it because I had the degree. Avoid the allure of getting any more CompTIA certs than that, as they will probably be a waste, hell, I'm not even sure A+ is worth it TBH. Security+ might be worth it if you try to work for the government, but it's 300 bucks, so leave it for later. People will tell you Desktop Support is a foot in the door. I suppose it is. However 1. You will likely never be able to advance beyond that role in any company no matter what you try 2. You need specific experience in specific things to qualify for specific jobs. Desktop will not qualify you for any higher work than Desktop. I don't know what step 2 even is for this career, I've been doing this for 10 years, it's a dead end job lmao. I got an MS Azure cert in August and will have to leave my current job in May, so that when I'll see if escape from desktop is possible or not.
