Spiritfarer, To the Moon, Gris (no words in this one but still a good story imo), anything SuperGiant has ever made with my favorite being Transistor.

Waited for time to pass and dust to settle to respond.
I appreciate this.
Understandably, I think people in mental health-focused communities are sensitive to feeling like their experience is being invalidated. Consequentially, sometimes i feel as though it is hard to speak a different opinion for fear of being labeled as someone who invalidates.
I’m not here for arguments. If differing opinions will result in that then maybe I will bite my tongue. You seem to have a good head on your shoulders based on this comment so I believe the community is headed in the right direction.
Thats very dismissive of you and does not fit this community well imo.
That’s not your place to decide.
pushing your assumptions on others is a dick move.
Don’t really know what assumptions I pushed here.
Telling people you feel your existence is denied because someone says “autistic people don’t have powers” is just not a good look. Calling names and picking fights with people who don’t agree with you isn’t either.
Unfortunately for you, I’m not leaving this community just because you want me to. I will be blocking you because I didn’t come here to be called a dismissive dick. I suggest you do the same.
Have a nice day.
I’m considered gifted as well and I would never compare it to having “powers”. I’m just good at taking IQ tests. That’s not what I’d call a power.
It’s playable but it struggles to maintain 60fps on the lowest settings, I even modded out the environments with a potato mod. So if you don’t need things to be pretty it still is functional, but you can feel the frames dip fairly frequently.
SF6 runs pretty poorly on the Steam Deck so I don’t know why they would want to highlight that, lol. Pretty much had to turn everything to full ugly mode.
I can absolutely relate to what you’re describing. Sometimes you need a break from a specific person, and it is not because you dislike them, you just really need a break. This is, from what I can tell, not a common neurotypical experience and so not something that neurotypical folks can relate to, and it’s hard to put it into words as a way that sounds anything other than “I don’t like being around you”.
The closest I can come to putting it into words is that sometimes my mind behaves like a cat. One moment you’re both enjoying each other’s company, the next I’m totally full and need to go. It’s not about any specific person, it can happen with anybody I’m around.
It’s good that you’re working to understand how to express your experience to others, it’s difficult but worth the time to strengthen relationships. Hopefully your partner understands that it’s not the easiest thing.
You left their party after a couple hours to relax. I’m guessing you were feeling a little overstimulated and needing a break, and your partner probably realized this as well and was willing to let you decompress.
Then you accepted an invitation to socialize with someone else, which to your partner probably seemed like you needed a break from them but not someone else. Of course, this is not a one-to-one situation, I’m sure swimming and a sunset is much more restful and relaxing than a birthday party, but from their perspective they probably wished you could have stayed but respected you needed a break. Now they’re finding out that you didn’t necessarily take a break from socializing, so it looks somewhat more like you needed a break from them.
Again, I know that isn’t exactly what happened, and it isn’t the message you meant to give with your actions, but that’s my attempt to see things from their perspective based on what we’ve been told.
And whatever you do…
Don’t! Just don’t. And if you are about to, do not. So say the hooded figures of the dog park, which, may I remind you, does not exist.
And now…the weather.
There are big rubber bands specifically meant to go on your trash bin to hold the bag in place, I bought mine from Walmart or Target I believe.
Water, probably.
“Have you tried…”
“Tried what?”
“…letting people finish a thought without butting in?”
That’s like saying HDDs will forget numbers if you store them next to a powerful magnet.
Or drive a nail into them. Granted, most of these devices will stop functioning if you do that…
This is what I’ve heard called the “bus buffer”, which means “run your team so that if someone is hit by a bus you aren’t totally screwed.”
It’s sorta like lying, but not exactly, but there’s the ever present fear that I’ll be exposed for… something.
I think what you’re looking for is “masking.”
Do you think stereotyping is okay just because someone else does it? Nevermind the misogynistic implications of basing a woman’s value on her usefulness “in the household.”
Please don’t make sweeping generalizations about whether or not women are “of use in the household” ever again, thanks.
The section about “Autistic Burnout” is so validating. It feels like I’m having a new crisis every few years. I’m jealous of neurotypical people that can just…go through life without being overwhelmed so easily. It’s frustrating and there’s no safety net for when it happens so you just have to grit your teeth and push forward when all you want to do is lie down.
You’re seeing the wrong therapist. Look for one that practices cognitive behavioral therapy, it’s really helped me personally.
