    The culture of lying

    This is so annoying! True, those are curious cases. Some people lie as if it was an addiction, it gives them nothing, it serves no purpose, but telling a truth obvious to everyone would be impossible for them. I encountered people lying about the simplest things, like what they ate, what they...

    Frequency of overstimulation

    I think yes, but they might not realise it, because they don't know any better. I'm not overstimulated regardless of circumstances. I try to minimise the circumstances that make me overstimulated but it's not always possible and I just push through accepting that I might not have the capacity...

    Provider education on autism

    This is certainly not a good direction. As someone said, "Medicine knows everything about disease and nothing about health". I don't know what you mean specifically, I'm not saying it's what you said, but I have encountered a lot of emphasis on understanding stress from the perspective of...

    Provider education on autism

    Tbh I have encountered the approach that everything healthcare is "just stress" and "you need to get nervous less" or "take antidepressants, it will help" waaaay too much. I have celiac disease, it's genetic, runs in my family and not in the autistic members. Therefore I have GI and autoimmune...

    Provider education on autism

    How does autism conscious treatment differ from conventional treatment in these cases?

    How to find good feedback on CV

    I can do much better than Wordpress :cool: I can host a React app on AWS :cool: . React and other JS frameworks look really pretty. It's a fairly recent development and I haven't finished the apps yet, therefore not yet. But I planned to, definitely that's a good point! One Android app, one...

    How to find good feedback on CV

    How would you go about it? The straightforward answer is that I already know a lot (that is already listed) and learn quickly, everything I do is high quality. If they'd hire me, I'd do whatever needed and up to a good standard. But it doesn't sound specific enough for a resume. I brag a bit...

    How to find good feedback on CV

    I did not get both of my jobs through job postings either. Just going about my life being myself.

    How to find good feedback on CV

    I asked Chat GPT questions about my CV and tbh it didn't correct much or offer much advice that I didn't use yet. I think my CV must be quite solid if even Chat GPT doesn't correct it stylistically. I mean, Chat isn't a reliable source of information, but it knows how to write in good style. And...

    How do some of you feel when an interest ends

    Honestly I feel devastated when an interest burns out. Emptiness. Or apathetic.

    How to find good feedback on CV

    How would you go about getting no-nonsense feedback on your CV? There are plenty of snake oil sellers who do that. Of course I'm not interested in exchanging a lot of cash for snake oil. I asked everyone, family, the university's career's office, a cousin who works in HR and used to work as an...

    Every social group I joined.

    I'm not from the US, so I don't know the companies that operate there, but there are travel agencies that offer tours with a guide. My grandparents went to a lot of them. One of my friends too. I think the name was Rainbow Tours, but it might be a European company, you'd have to google around to...

    Every social group I joined.

    I don't know where your parents took this idea from that it is normal to have friends to travel with especially older than 30. It's hard to make plans of adults align if they're not family. It's hard to find friends who have similar preferences when it comes to travelling. Not many adults travel...

    How about organised trips with a guide?

    Every social group I joined.

    I think that if you want to travel, you have to not wait for opportunities to happen to you, but try out travelling alone. Try out travelling somewhere not too far first, every country has beautiful places to visit. Someone said that you have to treat yourself the way you want to be treated by...

    Sense of danger?

    I think it comes down to hyposensitivity. I can't feel pain sometimes and hurt myself. I had anxiety about other things at the same time. It's down to what your perception is like.

    Sensory issues getting worse with age?

    So it's not directly proven, but very likely that exposure to stress hormones, dopamine, can in the long term increase sensory issues. Hmmm. I measured blood pressure before, it stayed the same, even got lower. I used to be more stressed, emotionally, in my early 20s. But depression made me...

    Sensory issues getting worse with age?

    I never liked clubs and rock concerts, but I used to tolerate parties, crowds, shopping malls and the such much better. I also think I might have been so hyper about the novelty of the experiences or the atmosphere about them, that the euphoria acted as an anelgesic :P Have you noticed that fun...

    Sensory issues getting worse with age?

    My initial reaction was that the sensory issues didn't get worse, but I'm tired and can't cope around them. There is a lot you have to do as you have more responsibilities, my "autism flareup" happened after moving out, but it was 3 years after. I think I gradually took pver more...
