  1. Hey,

    1 of the hosts, Tommy Krappweis, has the problem that when an important meeting is planned at, say, 2 pm, he hardly can do anything before that because he knows he has to pause it eventually.

    With this in mind, people in Ireland potentially don't have this problem because there are no 'hard lines', but more suggested time slots, it seems.

    How do people living there see that?

    in a podcast episode we listened to (Ja Schatz # 25, DE, podcast.de/episode/703706889/e) the two hosts talked about their recent move to Ireland.

    They mentioned that in Ireland appointments seem to be seen much more relaxed. In Germany, when you meet next Friday at 8 pm, chances are good that people arrive at 7.55. Not so in Ireland, it seems. Is this more relaxing for neurodivergent people?

  9. 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.
    😞

  10. @threecoloured Konnten wir bei unserem Enkel2 schon vor vielen Jahren beobachten.
    Der ging schon mit 4 Jahren voll rein, wo andere erstmal ewig überlegen mussten, ob sie sich trauen…

  11. 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.

  12. 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?

  17. I am sitting in the sun, letting the warmth settle into me while a slight breeze moves across my skin, carrying the faint clean scent of mint from the plant to my right. The soft, steady hum of traffic drifts past in the background. Today I needed this more than I can easily explain.

    This morning my doctor cancelled her appointment, then changed her mind and said she could make it after all. I had already mentally released the day and reorganised around Thursday, so when the reversal came I found myself more unsettled than the situation probably warranted. Unexpected changes like that disrupt something deeper than just the schedule. My nervous system had already mapped the day a certain way, and a sudden shift, even a minor one, requires a kind of internal recalibration that is genuinely exhausting. I chose Thursday anyway, on my own terms, which helped. The unsettled feeling still took time to pass, which is why I am out here now.

    It has me thinking about something I have been sitting with lately. Reality does not care about our plans, our carefully built illusions, or the stories we tell ourselves to feel safe. There is a particular kind of shock that comes when life closes the gap between what we expected and what actually is, and it does so entirely on its own timeline, not ours.

    I am not convinced the answer is stripping away every layer of protection and standing completely exposed. I think the real work is building enough internal ground to tolerate what is real without being destroyed by it. That process is slower and more painful than avoidance, but there is clarity on the other side that no illusion ever provided. At least, that has been true in my own experience.

  22. Hello Mastodonians! I am wondering on whether or not I should transfer my account to another server? Basically the server I’ve been using has a ton of lag as well as the admin of the server hasn’t posted in over a year, so I thought I should potentially move in case this server I’m on goes dark all the sudden as I don’t want to lose my account and all my followers. If I should move, any suggestions on which server to move to? #Mastodon #Server #Servers #Fediverse #Neurodivergent #Autistic
