Why the fuck would I explain advanced Linux distro details to a child that isn't already well versed? Lol

Ubuntu cares about making themselves stand out and their bottom line at the expense of users having to eat shit like Snap, Unity, sending Unity search data to Amazon and unnecessary bugs that other distro don't have problems with. They were fantastic up until 12.04. Linux Mint avoids all of these problems and nails Ubuntu's desktop goals, use that instead.

Why not? Works well and most folks have experience with it

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad there's progress, but I feel like once a week now I'm seeing "X condition was cured in mice" or "Y condition did well in a clinical trial" and I just have to wonder when we're actually going to see it on the market because I never hear from the details again basically every time 🙃 Tired of getting my hopes up

At the risk of un-funning the meme, this is hard as hell. Took some health issues to snap me out of it and start taking care of myself. I know some folks that aren't stopped by health issues. Food addiction really sucks and erodes your willingness to deny it. Consent is a small part of the picture, though important.

Man people are really rude, downvoting you when you're just trying to seek help...

I'm learning about this myself. What helped and what I understand:

  • Find a non-judgmental community open to self-diagnosed Autistics where you can talk and make friends. I recommend something real time (Discord, Matrix, IRC) or something where there is more community even if it's slower paced (Forums)
  • Learn about Autism. Deep dive. Learn about it's history, masking, the spectrum, those who have high and low support needs, how Autism manifests, Autistic and Neurodiverse communities, the relationships we have with other disability communities and the LGBTQ+ community, injustices against us, the misguided communities seeking to "cure" our condition and Autism Speaks, ABA therapy, the difficulties we face in the workplace and relationships, etc.
  • Self-examine and determine how Autism affects you, your mind, your body, your relationships and circumstances. Re-examine your past with a kind and forgiving eye now that you know better.
  • Seek a therapist and/or Autism assessment if it suits you, helps, and you can afford it.

I'm a hair twirler/puller, also nail biter. I have a fidget slider toy too, the one looking like two playing cards, but it has limited use in a setting where others need to concentrate. Rubik's cubes are nice in those scenarios, like a 2x2, quick solve, quick scramble, repeat

"Judeo-Christian society" has been airstriking the Middle East for years and provoking wars for a lot longer than that which is a violation of Christian beliefs ("Do to others what you would have them do to you", among others) so they can kindly shove it up their warmongering ass
