    Catch up

    Long time no see for some of you, hello to new comers since I've taken a step back from this forum to focus more on life. Thought I'd make a thread about just how I've been getting on with life in the past year or so. So where am I now? I currently have an apprenticeship in the ICT department...

    I've launched my first YouTube video!

    I've also launched my own Tumblr blog. I'm focusing Adult Onset of Tourette's Syndrome and covering comorbid conditions like Asperger's Syndrome, mental health and coping strategies. The reason why I decided to adult onset, beside from my own personal experience, is that it's not an actual...

    I was featured in a podcast!

    Hi girls and guys! As the title says, I was featured in a podcast which aired mid June called the Tourettespod.

    Anyone able to recommend some games from the Google Play store?

    I've been wanting to get a couple of game on my tablet for road trips and what have you. I really want to get Shadowrun on there but GDPR has screwed it all up and it's not on the store at the moment. I know X-COM is there and whilst similar in game play, I don't really want to pick it up...

    What helps YOU?

    Each day on this website we get a steady flow of people who get increasingly desperate about their personal situation, who have negative perceptions of themselves, who have often gone to mental health trusts only to face long waiting times, therapies that cannot be helpful and offered medication...

    Hans Asperger aided and supported Nazi programme, study says

    Hans Asperger aided and supported Nazi programme, study says Thoughts? I feel a bit betrayed by my knowledge of this man now. I'm not sure how to handle that. Or if I want to identify as someone who has Asperger's any more. Stimulating article to say the least.

    What games are you currently playing?

    I've got a few going on at the moment. I'm very slowly playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance. At a snail's pace; there's going to be lots of mods which fixes bugs and it does have a few of them apparently. I bought Shadowrun: Hong Kong and that's be good fun. I don't have any XCOM style or XCOM...

    Missed Signs of Autism Growing Up

    Growing up the education and the health systems failed to pick up signs I was actually autistic. I feel cheated, academically because of that. What can do you think I can do to move past this and get on with my life now? I received a diagnosis at the age of 25. I found a few old annual reviews...

    Zelkova Parvifolia bonsai. Which is a Japanese elm, closely related to the Ulmus - the Chinese Elm. Zelkova does in fact also grow in China.

    What are your shutdowns like?

    This would help me figure something out. I have gotten these jarring moments where my brain gets stuck on two thoughts, I can't talk much because of it and I get severely nauseated. These occur on long days where I've been doing a lot, one example being my brother's wedding last month. I think...

    Music Player for Android

    I don't know if anyone is familiar with the graphic user interface of N7 Player, it's a really cool design and it makes going through the massive list of music I have so much easier. But as much as I like it I can't use it. It doesn't find all my music on my phone and for some reason it can't...

    Hyposensitive to smell and therefore less sensitive to taste too?

    I've thought for a while that I'm hyposensitive to my olfactory sense (smell), there have been quite a few times where I just can't smell anything. It doesn't stop me from smelling thing all the time though but I do seek out smells - even horrible ones. But anyway, assuming I have hyposensitive...
