Very true! This also accounts for random gliches while running te program.

@bamboombibbitybop @actuallyautistic well as @venite explained, it is extra hard because you have to run it in WINE 😉
But it makes sense that it's an exe file since most pc users run windows... so it's an apt analogy for neurodivergents vs neurotypicals...

dorgaldir OP , 5 months ago

@Sibshops @actuallyautistic There is a good reason why autistic people do this. We learn on a very young age that acting the way we actually feel gives us a shitload of problems.
We don't adapt to make neurotypicals happy, we adapt to make our life easier, to not get judged all day, to not have to explain every action we do, to not be labeled as weird or a freak, you can't imagine what effect this has on you as a kid or even an adult.

@mloxton @actuallyautistic yeah it's not something exclusive for people with autism ofcourse! I think many people can relate to this.

@la_sombra @actuallyautistic yeah I run it sometimes, but as it turns out this can cause issues when done in the wrong setting... At work for example...

@vonxylofon @actuallyautistic my appologies...

@zakalwe @actuallyautistic Oh I thought that one was just part of the OS...

@thesquirrelfish @actuallyautistic yeah, I'm a late diagnosed and since then I'm working on this as well, and it does help. And in some situations I'm even like "Just so you know, I have autisme, deal with it, cause I can't be bothered to adapt to fit the norm right now..."
But it does not work in every situation...

@Sibshops @actuallyautistic it really is exhausting... That's one of the reasons that I work a lot from home, I can be myself and be productive.

@nroshak @actuallyautistic it really is...

dorgaldir OP , 5 months ago

@LordCaramac @ginsterbusch @Sibshops @actuallyautistic which is a valid choice to make of course. And hopefully one day the need to mask will be gone for everyone and we can all be accepted for who we are.

@autism101 @actuallyautistic
Yes, and still to this day I'm considered a "picky eater"
My son as well, he is even more picky than me.
Some don't understand, but my talks did help at least one person have more respect for his step-childrens "picky eating" habbits... Which I would call a win since those kids now at least have to go through less bullshit than I did, and still do sometimes...
How adults still think they can comment on other adults eating habbits is just baffling to me...

@autism101 @actuallyautistic Yeah me too, there are 2 dishes that I order in a restaurant. Or when we eat pizza, I always have the same type of pizza. But still, there are so many ways to make a Quattro Formaggi pizza... and sometimes restaurants just throw in other stuff like paprica, which I hate... And it just destroys my meal for me. Ever tried to get all the paprica out of a thick layer of 4 types of cheese?
