My clinical psychiatrist crudely described autism as taking many - sometimes longer - pathways through the brain to do things and monotropism could be simply a sticky myelin sheath.

But both could be true - a myelin sheath disorder along with hyperconnectivity could explain so many sensory issues and such singular processing.

hmm - still feel autistic on psilocybin and other tryptamines but more aware (and it works like a reset switch), however I've never felt as normal (or more like the people around me) as I did that first summer I binged mdma - when I managed to stay awake that is...

I had an Italian sound engineer pal and a Czech one too...

One would think that should apply to essential services like power, but here in the UK our largest energy distribution network is owned by France.

I moved to theoldreader.com when google reader closed.

We had an email come in from a pension combining processor, the url they gave so that you could add information about someone's pension was similar to:

employer.git.pension-details.vercell.app

Why do these companies make this stuff so hard!?

There are a couple of main issues:

1) is that some bulbs can be inserted into the holder two orientations, but only one is correct as there is often a shield stopping light bleeding up.

2) is that some lights appear to be almost horizontal rather than aimed down, if you're driving a smaller car you have lights almost aimed right at you - we need to tax cars based on size as well as emissions.

How old are you? I'm almost 50 and in the last year my long distance vision has improved however I need stronger reading glasses and find it tricky to do closeup work. I was on mounjaro between Feb and Sep this year.

For some reason - maybe it's a nostalgia hit - a deep pan from pizza hut with pineapple, pepperoni, jalapeno, and chicken just hits that right spot for me.

Nae Scottish.

I love the modern term of "greige" for the grey home decor we see in a lot of homes for sale of late.

You hold the conker in one hand and the string in the other with some tension and then release so it pings and bashes the other players conker, hoping to smash it off the string.

Repeat until one conker is smashed into oblivion.

If your conker wins against multiples it becomes named mythically: a twoer, a threer, and so on.

I once had a niner. a fiver took it down.

gosh i remember those halcyon days back when I had a niner, sadly it was taken by a fiver.

Wonder if this would help lessen issues with noise sensitivities also, like misophonia / hyperacusis or even help with auditory processing disorder?

Maternal use is certainly indicated as increasing risk of autism almost 3x, how would it work the other end, ie I'm autistic with noise sensitivities and APD, can I train my brain to ignore sounds at the same time as I train my pitch up?

I started at 12 - my newspaper delivery colleague had pinched some from his newsagent and offered me one.

19 years later, after the birth of my last child, I finally stopped - i'd tried everything but slowly reverted back to it.

A two week intro course of champix - Varenicline - enabled me to quit it finally, and for good.

I've been stopped over 16 years now and even smelling second-hand smoke makes me feel physically sick.

Nice one, thanks, I'll have a look through this.

I'm actually considering going back to world of warcraft because some of the new features allow you to experience the previously multiplayer required portions on your own.

some daft way so that oil, coal, and gas generators of electricity don't lose money to cheaper renewables, so the price per unit is set to the least efficient method - absolutely ludicrous.

sadly it may be the opposite way - the last 80% being unachievable due to the sheer amount of plastic particles produced by tyres.

Remember taking our pc's (along with 17"crt) to my pals house and playing fox and hounds until 5 or 6am then going to work.

The amount of issues this has caused as a sysadmin - no, don't open new outlook, open the new old outlook.

ah bugger it, add to intune - required uninstall.

It's very obvious when you walk through Scotland's forestry which trees are native, and which have been transplanted because there is lush grass and plants underneath the native trees, and a lot of the time bare patches underneath the imported.

Absolutely, and there is a very noticeable divide between people for whom exercise and CICO work: "just eat less and exercise more, bro" - and those, like me, where you will absolutely try anything and everything for many years with little affect until you eventually give in and try something that finally kills that little voice that appears on waking that constantly tells you that you want food, need food, need this specific food.

I wonder if this counteracts my poor working memory thanks to adhd... Will try to remember to order some!

I wasn't going to get the pro, but since the announcement the remote play lag has been unacceptable upstairs so I may have to, the grey would go much better with my greige bedroom decor.

My first thought was "oh here we go again" - I'd try it though.

ABA is based on the same research by lovaas that is used for conversion therapy.

Almost everything I develop is written with my mum in mind as a user - she's intelligent but not great with computers, if she can use it then almost anyone can.

ACE 4, AuDHD - not very satisfied with life until very recently at 49. Diagnosed autistic at 42, and with adhd at 47.

When you mentioned vocal fry and I saw a YT link I thought I was going to see this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHHt-tYS2es

It's a shame it didn't get renewed.
