Complaint of an autistic, bipolar, and gifted person who is dysregulated and tired...
Something changed. In my personal life and in my digital life. I'm getting old, with bipolar disorder and level 2 autism, with an overlap of 3 autoimmune diseases, diabetes, progressive deafness, and almost no work (due to the economic situation in my country and my health).
I live quite peacefully despite these problems, with my wife, my cats, and my dog. I have a very good family environment, with my daughter (even though we live 1100 km away), my wife's children, my sisters, and a few close friends.
I have some activities that satisfy my brain and intellectual exercise needs, such as chess tournaments with friends, some science projects, books, music (I have a guitar to sing blues in the evenings), hacking and programming, and my Zen and Yiquan practice at home.
So yesterday I had a "conversation" with a guy who claims to be autistic and a psychologist, but who actually isn't and just wanted to argue and practice his neurosis on me. His supposed profession and life wouldn't stand up to even the slightest OSINT investigation; it doesn't exist. It's not that I enjoy doxing stupid people, it's that it's practically obligatory (and I can't break my old habits) given how many people like that there are on social media.
The thing is, I don't even feel like sharing memes anymore because there's always some son of a bitch trying to stir things up. I'm tired of it. My wife gave me a lecture today, and she's right.
The worst part is that these kinds of encounters have almost always been with people who claim to be "autistic." I hardly ever think about being autistic in my daily life, nor am I constantly engaged in activism or tilting at windmills. I also dislike the ideological mess that many people have in their heads.
So I'm going to keep quiet for a while and let certain topics go. The main reason I had social media accounts, and lately on Mastodon, was for the information and the people involved with computers. The rest doesn't really interest me. The autism issue is over for me; I've already understood what I needed to understand after the diagnosis, which was the last link in a series of diagnoses that took up 18 years of my life. There's no need to keep dealing with repetitive and irrelevant information or with unhinged people.
Of course, there are interesting and pleasant people on Mastodon, and even among the autistic ones I can find, but my mental and physical health are screaming for me to step back from digital life a bit more. Mastodon isn't exempt from the toxicity of other platforms; it just seems less noticeable because there are fewer people and because many users follow a certain behavioral model and a set of sociocultural guidelines. But dare to think differently, to disagree with something, to not be interested in the group, cultural, and even tribal trends of Mastodon, and we'll see how you fare. It's exhausting to see hundreds, or perhaps thousands, of profiles that seem to be made with templates and with bombastic hashtags that are more like threats than advertisements, because if you don't agree with or aren't interested in the topic of the user you're interacting with, you're going to be labeled a damn Nazi. I've even seen users with thousands of followers proposing bans and boycotts of people, software, and even memes because they're "on the other side."
I'm really tired of so much human mental crap and it's very likely that I'll disappear or do what some accounts do that only post cat memes, not because they don't have anything better to say but because the others won't understand or listen to anything serious or really important.
I still prefer hacking and programming, and the people who focus solely on that. As Mr. Torvalds said, I like computers, not people. And I understand his reasons.PS: I don't feel like replying to comments that are just trying to start a fight or argue. And the post will be deleted no later than tomorrow, depending on my mood.

NT Society: Hey, you're #autistic, have a jigsaw piece symbol! We think it suits your kind!
Me: Erm... no thanks. I'm not some puzzle for you to solve.
#Autism Rights Movement: Hey, we're autistic! We have infinite potential! We should use the infinity symbol!
Me: OK, I guess.
Meta: *uses infinity symbol as corporate logo*
Me: I'm just going to not have a symbol.

Well. Lydie is not only queen klutz, but I can't remember things to save my life.
I have no "working" memory (a typical neurodivergent trait). And, in AI terms, my context window is very very small.
So I lose things. It costs me a lot of money buying replacements.
However, there is a modern tech that I'm just now trying. Air Tags (well, the Android equivalent). I'm going to put them on lots of things.

Hey all my neurodivergent peeps! This question came up in a Discord server i am in and i am wondering if the results here will be the same.
If you are any sort of neurodivergent, do you prefer programs and apps in dark mode or light mode?

A question for those of you who have experience with autistic or neurodiverse children: are puzzles with small pieces a good idea? I got this gachopon puzzle as a freebie from a convention, and I’m wondering if it’s an appropriate gift for the child of my upstairs neighbor. He’s maybe six?
I can just ask them, oc, but it got me thinking. #autism -
Domming is a mindset. You don't have to be bombshell gorgeous to be a dom. Men can be doms. Women can be doms. People of all colors and body types can be doms. If you can make people submit to you, you're a dom. #khhv #hypergamy #autism

Autistic distress is often framed as pathology and deficit.
While the distressing nature of our society's institutions, frameworks, and practices is studiously ignored.

An #autism question?
Is anyone here familiar with Post 10 on YouTube? He does unclogging videos.
My son just started to get in to that kind of stuff and I'm thinking the Post 10 guy is at least spectrum adjacent. Me getting into those types of videos might make more sense -

@KatyElphinstone @d1 This is more of a segway than a direct response, but I'd like to hear your take on this.
I find it interesting how #autism and #narcissism differ in how they are processed by our society.

Hot take: I really dislike the term AuDHD because it fucks up the ADHD abbreviation. My brain reads AuDHD as Autistic Deficit Hyperactive Disorder and I hate that.
(I dislike the term ADHD as well, but that is a different rant)

The five stages of grief were never the full story. Some losses have no funeral, no acknowledged mourning period — just a collapse that keeps pulling you back. This essay maps that experience onto astrophysics, not for poetry, but because the physics actually fits. Grief bends time. It needs space to move.

This semester I had no car, limited money, missed classes, and a group that was mostly absent. I did not call it creative thinking at the time — I was just trying to survive. But radical honesty, noticing rule gaps, and working from the real starting point instead of the ideal one — that is exactly what creativity is.

I am experiencing something else related to autism o.<
Is something I have never noticed before..... but now I've read up on things.... yeah.I don't have an internal sense of how I feel. Both mentally and physically.
Ask me how I feel.... most I can give you is OK, Meh or bad.
But another thing is the physical.
I don't know I'm hungry till I'm at the "Hangry" stage"
I don't know I need the loo, till am desperate.
I don't notice when I'm heating up or cooling down till it's too extreme., often too late to do much to combat the "Deep core cold" or "heat exhaustion"That last one is very evident today o.<
Gonna have to be careful >.< -
