| I was at work today. My body is being weird, as usual the cycle is messing with it. To a point I ended up falling asleep. Except I'm faaaaaaar from annoyed. Still made too many mistakes. Difference is that... There's no guilt, there's no internal fights, there's no frustration. Even at the later par... |

| Dyssemia. The very trait that impacts nonverbal cues. And NVLD impacts nonverbal processes. Thus how or why those with NVLD struggle socially. It's practically a core trait of NVLD that is easily mistaken for how ASD's nonverbal cues ineptitude (from a variant of cognitive profiles) or cognitive emp... |

| I might... Lose a lot of overt stimming altogether. Because of how much crap to deal with that I'm losing in the process. I never cared about how I ever appeared while stimming. I just cared about the lack of unnecessary stressors. It just happened that... Solving the crap loses the stimming. :roll:... |

| I still am living in an aimless life. Yet to make a big decision. Yet to fully live the way I want. So far, I've only been existing the way I wanted to be -- I longed to be, since it's very fundamental that I should have it before doing things beyond that. But I have not done anything beyond that yet. |

That I got my cravings back.
That I slid back to the old habit.
I somewhat lost it last week in real life. |

Ever since I turned 30, everyday feels like it's Sunday for me.

| The only autistic I know in my family was my paternal cousin's son and that distant cousin in my maternal side somewhere. A few ND cousins here and there... Like no more than 3. Said cousins likely have ND relatives themselves because those stuff mainly came from in-laws. Neurodivergence or/and ment... |

| Maybe it's one of the effects of my wish to never spiral. For me to catch myself from stress induced inanity, snacks was one of the few avenues I knew. And I'm talking about decades of ingained habit since childhood. Stuff I rely on comfort to a point it has recklessly gotten me broke a few times no... |

| Nothing much. Just a weird week of losing cravings for sugary stuff all the sudden. Don't know how much of this is hormones being utterly confusing as usual or a delayed subconscious calling. It's day 6. Just as stressed out if not more, but zero urge to snuck and binge. Usually if I am this stresse... |

| I can distinguish the two terms of the same looking outcomes. I translate very, very often -- which is why I hate words and wording and get very disappointed very often. But not mask. I don't need to put a smile to convey happiness, not put a smile to pretend I'm fine, nor had to do so to express am... |

| Mine is just a matter of profile preference. Not cognitive, but emotional. I never like the fact that I did not get the type of autism with alexithymia, preferably that has little to no affective empathy to put up and regulate -- since there's no strong enough executive function to compensate into c... |

| Yes. And it's more subtle. It's safer in a higher way that had nothing to do with familiarity, but of understanding, inclusion and acceptance. Quieter. Compared to, say, attachment. Which is somewhat suffocating and unnecessarily reenacting. Familiar at best, no matter how dysfunctional. Sometimes p... |

Another stormy season. |

| Being an admin to an operating system that does not think for me. But then, I've yet to be competent enough to handle it elegantly, however. Not everyone can use the autism toolkit to deep dive into being a human and humanity. I may be one of those end users who just happened to want the challenge. ... |
