No way

Las Vegas Loop sounds like a Mario Kart track

Here’s hoping

Honestly wish I could do that. I’ve gotten so used to masking my inability to do small talk that I basically just say yes to everything. It’s super annoying and something I want to work on, but I dont really know how.

Try chopping it up in a meat grinder, as long as the only thing that comes out, that’s left of them is their eyeball, they’re probably dead.

A mario

Same, I wonder why that happens?

Yeah, I’m currently self diagnosed. I won’t be able to get a diagnosis for a while so I understand the frustration of people that for some reason decide that a self diagnosis isn’t valid. It’s just something you have to get over I guess. I’m definitely not to the point where I can tell people I’m autistic (I actually made a post exactly like this last week, so I’m only a week ahead of you in experience) but I’m trying to get there.

Welcome! It sounds like you feel pretty similar to how I’ve come to realize my autism. Major signs that none notices, thinking you just really care about texture, stuff like that. This community has been super friendly so keep coming back here. Two last notes, check out the info page for this sublemmy, it has things to watch and read about autism, and lastly dont worry about getting diagnosed, self diagnosis is exactly, if not more ballad than a medical one. Get a diagnosis if you can but if not dont worry about it. If you need anything there are always people online on this sublemmy, also on the mastadon chat but to as lesser extent

What

Harvest moon?

Rimworld?

Zorin OS is a personal favorite. Don’t worry about the paied version, just get the free one. You can get everything on the paid version for free, it’s just so thr deevs can get some support

What are you looking for in a logo? Do you want it to be similar to the old one, or something else entirely?

Yeah, I’d much rather be alone and not have to think of how to act and speak but also I realize that I have a limited time where I will be living with my family and having them at that short of access. I’d like to say I’ve found a happy medium but I mostly like to hide in my room.

I’ve used a controller to play remote play on my phone, and honestly its pretty usable. You could run into some issues with mods I guess, but rimworld being portable will 100% make up for it. I wish there was a rimworld mobile even if it didn’t have mod support.

Looking back as I try to jusfify having autism, it really is almost funny how many warning signs myself, and my family have ignored. One of them being that every time I get remotely stressed, like being put in a new location or basically someone talking to me I just start spinning my phone rapidly. Like why didn’t I think of why I did that??? And I was talking to my mom and she goes “you know you used to be so scedual oriented as a kid, if we went shopping mid day you would freak out because you couldn’t watch your cartoons, I would have to give you 15 or 20 minute warnings, not five because that wasn’t enough”. Like autism red flag mom geez!

And during this conversation I was trying to find an in into mentioning that I though I might be autistic so I say " oh and I used to love lining up my hotwheels too right?" She said yes. WHAT??? Glad autism awareness is growing nowadays but I’m still shocked I got this far undetected, I’m like the batman of autism.

Hey I actually managed to have a conversation about it and we’re scheduling an appointment! The conversation was insanely funny too, my mom was talking about how time oriented I was as a child, like if we went to the store mid day it would get me so angry, and how much I loved lining up and sorting my hotwheels. I was so shocked that such clear signs had been given when I was a child, and they didn’t realize ir that I just was laughing, and now I’ve got an appointment

Thank you! I guess I have prioritized a diagnosis more than needed. It really won’t do more good for me than just allowing me to say I’ve been diagnosed. Which I guess I could lie about, but I think I’d rather not do that.

I don’t know. It’s just an uncomfortable feeling I guess. Probably a mix of my hate for attention, I don’t even like complements, to a worry about how they’ll treat it and react. Both of my siblings have depression and they were willing to help them, but they’ve always treated them differently from me, they’re both girls and when they sure their interests, it’s congratulated, but when I’ve shared mine it’s often met with criticism. I guess it’s some mid of that.
