Uh, yeah. That's why I got socialist ideas.

Does that study that claims autistic people are "too moral" actually exist? I can't find what study it is. I'm skeptical that it actually exists, since I can't locate the specific study.

Executive dysfunction and burnout.

Executive function is used in a lot of scenarios; I feel like shit when I can't use executive function to accomplish a goal I have; and when I do complete a goal; I feel like I never actually enjoyed it.

  • I can't find much advantages to executive function; I can only think of UX design; where executive function can make one blind to some issues.

Disappointment 100.

This always annoyed me. Why do so many studies have issues with setting up fair and balanced tests? Why are the sample sizes too low?

I usually just ignore societal rules and only do activities that I want or need to do.

Sample sizes seem too small.

All my life I've been been slim/athletic, but it's had far little to do with any kind of discipline and far more to do with me constantly forgetting to eat/drink regularly, plus sports. I'm tall too so that's always helped a lot.

It's starting to annoy me though because I know eating/drinking regularly is generally healthier than eating/drinking sporadically, and I'd like to figure out a method of fixing this that fits well with how my mind works.

In the past, I've manged to fix a number of lifelong issues I've struggled with by using resources geared towards people with autism and ADHD. I used to be fairly unorganized until I found these resources and now my stuff in general is very organized in a way that I actually enjoy maintaining.

I'd like to find a similar way to fix this issue I have with not eating/drinking regularly-- basically a way to structure things so that I eat/drink regularly in a way that I can really get into a repetitive groove.

View this post (https://lemmy.ml/post/220075) instead, it's much more refined than this one.

A common trait of autism is the struggle with nonverbal communication.

Deepfakes could be difficult to discern as a result; since identifying them involves scanning body movement for "unnatural" characteristics.

Example: I see a deepfake of an actor; but the deepfake has a discoloration, so it is "obvious" to most people. However I wouldn't be able to initially identify the discoloration because I wouldn't think that it's unnatural.

Example 2: The eye movement of a deepfake is "off", which is "obvious" to most people; but I don't notice because my body can't perceive the eye movement.

Now I wonder if deepfakes could be used to imitate medical conditions (like cancer, sclerosis, acne).

Once you knew, what help or advice did you get?

A reply that insults me with the word (highlighted by the red arrow) autistic.


I was wrong; but I still think it's harsh to (cyber)bully a person like that for making a mistake.

Ah yes: The stereotypical "you DON'T aCT lIke THE OTHer auTisTiC pEOplE I'Ve MET" line.

(Autism can manifest in variants of the diagnostic symptoms; there is no "one way" to "be" autistic.)


Also, diagnostic labels are labels; they don't change, but instead influence, the person.


I think Carl is autistic; his stims seem to be repetitive and he dislikes the puzzle set being incomplete.

(I am aware of only that episode though; so I can't really do a good analysis on Carl.)
