Seconded. Bobiverse is great to listen to while mowing the lawn or doing other mindless jobs.

If you are neurodivergent, it might be worth looking into Rejection sensitive dysphoria and Social phobia.

It may feel like others are judging/bad talking you but that may not be the case.

Speak to a GP or psychologist, they can help with these types of issues.

Black and White. I miss good god games. Most these days seem like they are just casual, mobile style games.

Splinter Cell. Or a similar tactical stealth shooter. Except made by anyone other than Ubishit

Looks like piece of a wheel and an axle from a tractor or a truck or something.

Lol. "No one is playing our games, better raise prices". Genius.

Not just bodies. When working around flood waters its recommended to wear hazmat gear because the water is contaminated by human waste from septic tanks, dead animals, petrol, oil, various poisons and fertilizers, chemicals from stuff like paint, etc.

Probably could be cleaned but even for agri use it would be crazy expensive.

Your radio community just popped up in my feed and I thought you guys might enjoy a pic of my family's old radio. His Master's Voice brand. From North Coast NSW, Australia.

Yeah GUI development isn't easy or straightforward. Thats why there are UI/UX engineers whose sole job is to design and create simple and easy to use interfaces. And they get paid big money to do it too.

If those programmers making ultra specialized software were to waste their time making a GUI, they would never finish the project or would require funding of some sort.

I got some good quality noise cancelling headphones 12 months ago and thought they were great. Since doing more reading about ASD and ADHD, I've come to understand I have some sensory issues.

I bought some Loop earplugs a few weeks ago after reading about them in other ASD threads and I love wearing them when driving, shopping or in doctor's waiting rooms. I feel much less anxious and tense.

After doing some more reading and reflection, I think that a weighted blanket might be helpful and so I ordered one.

I've been using softer, less jarring alarms and ringtones for years and started using the Smiling Mind phone app recently which has been helpful.

I was wondering if there are any assistive tools/devices/tips that any other ASD people have found that have had a major impact on their lives that they might like that share?

Not exactly niche but I'd like to see some active gardening and diy communities. The existing ones aren't very active.

I realized I was similarly getting manipulated and teased in my late teens. Looking back, I think alot of it was down to me missing/misinterpreting social signals and trying to fit in. I was usually aware of what was going on but didn't know how to extricate myself in a way that wouldn't bring further ridicule.

Once I became aware of the pattern, I stopped talking to and approaching people. I keep to myself and generally approach social situations from a respectful but hostile and mistrustful position until proven otherwise. I'm trying to break this habit but its difficult after living it for so long.

Hi all,

I got my diagnosis of Asperger’s a couple of years ago after a trip to the mental health ward at age 31. I looked around at the time but a lot of the resources are either technical academic books aimed at psychologists or materials for children or parents. So I put it on the back burner and have just found time to start really diving into studying Autism and how I can better manage life and relationships.

I found this community and the “Field guide to Earthlings” book, which I have found really helpful and makes sense of a lot. But I am still looking for more resources for adults with late in life diagnosis’ and coming up dry.

Does anyone know of anything that could be helpful/relevant? Looking mostly for coping skills, conflict resolution, emotional regulation stuff.

I’m also terrible at social interactions because I’m constantly questioning and analyzing everything. Small talk or just relating to NTs has always been hard because a lot of that they do and are interested in just doesn’t make sense or I have absolutely no interest in.

I’m in a rural area and there’s no local resources at all. I’m also not too keen on a lot of Youtube videos because I find the over-the-top noise and crappy characters/personalities/acting that hosts/influencers put on incredibly off putting. But I do like Youtube videos that are done in an informative manner and not for entertainment value.

Thanks in advance 🙂

Wow. American police really are just an execution and cleanup crew. Just have a chat and compliment someone who is accused of being a danger on their weapons, ignore the victim begging them to stay and help, and then blame the victim and lie.

Who else is excited for the new season? This will be my first new season since starting DRG and I'm pretty keen for some new content. I haven't seen if there will be new assignment missions but I'm hopeful.
