| I encountered https://github.com/standardgalactic , which has a vast amount of quite interesting if abstruse ideas and implementations of this language. I think a lot of it is ai generated. Anyway i was deeply disheartened when i saw people on reddit assuming whoever made it was "very sick"... |

| I read this about 12 years ago, and still feel deeply touched by the story. I think it is a well written take of neurodivergence, encompassing both extremes that can be highly relatable to those on the spectrum. Too smart and too stupid to fit in. I realise after learning more about myself why i fou... |

| I've seen plenty of autistic people who don't see through nonsense any better than NTs. Yeah, me too. It would be interesting to see research on this topic. In general, I would expect autistics to be worse at seeing through nonsense than NTs, especially taking into account different levels, social ... |

| Yeah I read a book by Tony Attwood that said that framing "learning NT thinking" as learning a new language is a more palatable framing than "masking". I am not sure. I think I kind of want to flip your argument. Rather than seeing "translating" as neutral, I think it s... |

| It depends on you. I worked in a bakery once and it was horrible because the culture required a lot of socializing with the other bakers who were kind of weird, and did not understand my particular mindset. Some were reformed criminals. However, now much later in life I could handle that environment... |

| This is bad therapy. The therapist is trying to get the autist to conform to NT standards of morality, which are pretty f*****g low if you look at the state of the world. NTs can just walk past social slights or moral problems with ease, but Autists *care*. It's part of who we are. We care deeply ab... |

That's pretty bad. Real autists have real struggles.
But I think broadly there are common struggles that might trigger this.
Neoliberalism commodifies relationships causing loneliness. People are overworked and under socialised
causing loneliness and loss of connection. |

| It was an enjoyable film, although the characters were kind of jolty. I felt they had a bunch of messages to get across and they made the script around that rather than an actual plot. Lots of cringy pet-related stuff which I detest. I enjoyed the first film better. I am a bit squeamish when people ... |
