| I dream a ton, including lucid dreaming. From my understanding, scientists think everybody dreams, just not everyone remembers them. I would know if I actually dreamed or not, whether I can recall it or not. The most glaring sign for me is that it's more pleasant sleep than my "usual". My... |

| Nothing. Almost all of my mistakes are coming from having to deal with emotional dysregulation and overall having executive dysfunction unable to make up for my language processing issues. Anything else is explicitly explained to me, and how some of my household habits just sucks and how some of the... |

| Suddenly I'm caring about security updates and all that privacy stuff. Well, I understand. Except I've been using a phone that has no OS and system updates since 2021. Just past a year since I've brought it. Then I suddenly care towards a hypothetical phone that there's no further updates in the nex... |

| I also don't have substances that makes things easier to cope with. Most of which I can have long term -- it's acute each time, and it's short term at best. Like eating chocolate -- but no different than eating those crunchy snacks. But those are expensive and not very healthy, and sometimes for the... |

| Well, that's the thing; that's still being fought here. And when it's passed, there's no implementation yet (like most well-written laws here). The prospect of having free diagnostic assessment is one of the things being pushed by and for autistics at the moment. But I'm sure proposing and implement... |

Sometimes, I wish there's a substance for me to become like another person.
Could be alcohol, marijuana, nicotine, certain medications... Even something like coffee -- which doesn't, though. 
Those... 'Tools'... Are not readily available nor helpful for me. |

| While very rare now -- my last one was probably few years ago. Ended up running across the streets without a regard; no more feeling my body, no more feeling the texture and vibration of every step I take, no more being mindful of my stuff possibly falling off, no more hearing incoming vehicles and ... |

| I do dream. But I couldn't see the pattern when I tend to dream yet. There are months that I do and often enough to dream every time I close my eyes in exhaustion -- or those in between days or weeks, and there are months that I just don't. :lol: If that counts as often enough, no, I don't smoke wee... |

| During my meltdowns, I don't have memory loss. Well, I also don't feel guilt in any aftermath -- because it's literally other people's fault when they all knew better than not to provoke me. And my meltdowns don't necessarily expressed in violence -- it can be just fleeing and going to places withou... |

| Can't also relate to the experience of going to hospitals and therapies as a kid on top of daycare. Can't relate to the early diagnosed experiences of having series of clinic visits and multiple doctors -- back then, that's for the privileged. Can't relate needing a nanny or an aide or the idea tha... |

Within my budget (upper limits of my budget), can handle my daily stuff more than enough, can be an alt for some semi-heavy stuf... |

| I would look for the same thing, more or less. Though, I'm not sure how much is getting diagnosed as an young teenager, with the entire school and family being very involved in the process as opposed to self reported counted as 'late diagnosed'. Or undiagnosed but deemed unofficially autistic by pro... |

My ancestors fought at wars.
My mom never ever told me like they're all ordinary civilians hiding from invaders.
Nope, nope, nope! They owned guns, ambush them and went to the front lines head-on. |
