Post Reply New Topic

Any jobless broke dudes with late in life diagnosis wanna chill?

Work, Making friends/keeping friends feels totally overwhelming/exhausting at this point.

I want to hone my superpower of imagination to win the autism lottery. Write bad poetry sing songs with forgotten verses that is all.

Welcome..love that intro

Welcome to Wrong Planet.

That was an interesting introduction. But not much content. So I dug a little deeper.
You are a Teacher. You have many interest including:
Farming, camping, permaculture, film, tv, creative writing, travel.

Permaculture, I haven't heard that word before. I wonder what it means?

Permaculture is an approach to land management and settlement design that adopts arrangements observed in flourishing natural ecosystems. It includes a set of design principles derived using whole-systems thinking.

I remember when I was very young there was a movement to go back to nature. Young people left their homes and made small communities in a small plot of land in the woods. Everyone shared with each other. And they lives in their ideal world. But not everyone worked or cooperated or treated everyone fairly and over time chaos persuade and these groups broke up and left. That was around 50 years ago.

Let's see. In another post you said that you "started investigating Asperger syndrome back in 2008. That is useful information. I have Asperger's Syndrome (Aspie for short).

Then in another thread, you filled out a form on yourself. This is what you wrote:

How to do autism?
With Panache, aplomb and style

Carbonhalo, it looks like you have been part of this site beginning in 26 Nov 2007. I am not familiar with OSint, so I looked it up. The internet says it may stand for Open Source Intelligence.

Open source intelligence (OSINT) is the collection and analysis of data gathered from open sources (covert sources and publicly available information) to produce actionable intelligence. OSINT is primarily used in national security, law enforcement, and business intelligence functions and is of value to analysts who use non-sensitive intelligence in answering classified, unclassified, or proprietary intelligence requirements across the previous intelligence disciplines.

That is definitely a strange hobbie or is that something you do for a living?

You gave your location as Musora. I am not familiar with that place. Oh it is not a place. Musora is a type of tool of musicians. Musora is a dynamic online platform offering comprehensive music education across various instruments including piano, guitar, drums, and singing.

I used the way back machine to your first post:

I'm not sure if i feel relief or disappointment at finding wrongplanet.
I've only started to research AS this week, and every word i've read raises red flags from here to my very first memories.
socially dysfunctional child genius, age inappropriate behaviour, clumsiness, alienation, ---- full steam ahead and damn the torpedos.
I have a question.... is there any point being diagnosed at age 47?

Welcome back.
