  • I admit I skimmed your account and maybe “pretend” isn’t quite the right word for what you’re saying?

    Putting yourself in the mindset of “maybe I am” and unmasking, and that feels authentic, seems to be my understanding of what you’ve written in context.

    But this is above Lemmy’s paygrade. Unfortunately the only way to be 100% sure is to get a diagnosis, which can be very difficult financially/logistically.

    Even if you are or aren’t autistic, if you do find that coping behaviors, interests etc. that are often associated with the autistic community work for you and make you feel like yourself then I personally would say that’s okay.

    The human brain is a weird thing and neurotypes are all over the place. Being ND isn’t just autism so you may find kinship with other communities too. Keep an open mind.





  • Fingers crossed you get the day off /gen

    Enjoying some positives this week - finally getting over some bug I’ve had since Sunday, working on renewing one of my work certs and ordered a new game controller coming in the mail sometime next week.

    I’m excited to have a dedicated controller for PC/emulators since I lost my Steam Controller dongle years ago and it’s a pain to pair my JoyCons regularly (first-world problem I’m grateful to have).

    My head is still spinning from it being August already. That might just be part of getting older, though.

    What do you plan to do today if you end up having it free? (If you feel comfortable sharing, of course)
