No, because not all autists have adhd. (stated neutrally)

I’m ahead of that. I write it down.

I have so many notes I never need again or have any idea about what I’ve written down, there are multiples.

Ha, indeed I never even got into hollow knight and didn’t even find it appealing. Big metroidvania player otherwise. Love dead cells.

Anyhow, I really like(d) expedition 33, played through on easy. Due to the qte stuff which I wish could be turned off entirely. It’s also a question of accessibility imo.

Technically it’s not really great and should perform way better on ps5 or pc.

But whatever, it was generally a good game.

Oh yes, just head right to the back of that hall.

Which I did.

But it was like 10m in and I went full to the back.

How the hell did you miss it? …

Finished reading another (really good but only German) autism book.

Going to parties mostly isn’t even an option.

Have a look into what other countries did with the rise of nazis.

Business liked it.

As a German, what do you think we could do? Even with our experience we’re having fun with the far right Afd and the other parties are basically doing everything to get more voters to them!

Oh and we’re still highly dependant on us technology and services (ms, cloud, etc) although all this could be seen coming for years now. 🤷

“nobody could’ve known!”

Embrace the 80% solution (or whatever level that suits you)

Come now, you need to be agile nowadays. /s

Thank you.

I’ve been in IT for decades and also privately (non pro non esport - for fun!) gaming. So I know my stuff but also know that I don’t know everything.

And I’m also Autist.

So this in combination let’s me make statements which always arrive at neurotypicals as negative, how could it not? The reason not being that I want to hurt people, but rather that we communicate in content only and NT communicate between the lines; and that’s inserted automatically even if it’s not even sent. So yeah sucks for both sides (double empathy problem BTW).

So what I see with a post like this is that the hardware is more than sufficient for many things, gaming works and… What? Streaming not? That’s basically the weakest in the equation.

But then a lot of context is missing. Streaming TO or streaming FROM. Of yours the streaming from that device, encoding, that’s another thing. That might cause issues although picking the right encoding in hardware should also be OK.

And streaming TO there should not be an issue at all.

So I am left guessing. The hardware is fine (that’s where that conclusion, not underhanded ‘you said’ came from) and the issue must be with software or skills (again, not blaming, everyone including me has this all the time and might require more knowledge for this specific case).

So, maybe I gave you some (also unexpected) insight in why I reacted like this.

Also, nonwithstanding, autists can also be assholes aside from this. And techies especially, too. But having had some of our experiences with people that’s often very understandable, too.

I know. /Harrison Ford smirk

Thanks for your response to op, in my words answering him I would just sound like an elitist asshole 😁.

There are just so many gaps to fill and it’s not an issue of the hardware as far as I can guess.

Yeah that was nice. The whole game was nice albeit too much promise and left far behind by any uncharted (>1) which came long before.

That at a premium price is too little. (not saying anyone should share this highly subjective opinion!)

But that’s not the point I was teing to make. I literally laughed at that typical Bethesda T-pose.

Indiana Jones and the great circle: npc walking around on Gizeh and the clothes of one being in T-pose.

Oh, Bethesda.

No worries, thanks!

Thank you!

So far I’ve seen a lot of videos (public TV has some good ones) as well as could it be aspergers by prof Tony Attwood, and the Ted talk from Jac den Houting. The videos from Auticate are also quite relatable although with a lot of repeating and corporate orientation.

Books so far notable aside from a local one (Autismus in 44 Kapiteln) the mentioned field book. Although that one is a little bit dry on his views, I think the NT view is a little over complicated with references and symbols and could be made simpler without losing anything.

Then the more notable book for my situation is the autists by Clara Törnvall and I am also currently on another one by an adult Autist woman Autistisch? Kann ich fließend! by stephanie Meer-Walter.

I will then possibly try unmasking autism next, had an eye on that one. Thanks also for the link.

For the next diagnosis (if I can’t turn the last one around) through that experience and also help like yours I’ll have a far more specific questions prior to the diagnosis…

Thank you for your acknowledgement.

If you know someone knowledgeable in Germany let me know. Having read a few recent books mostly on adult autistic women by themselves I somewhat need to conclude that there is currently a big blind spot - as you said - for the mild and low support needing.

But as an autor stated, we still need support. I would even love to change my field of work to support this but whom should I reach out to?

Analyze me, I am a very curious case!

Oh and a thing I noticed: do you know the book a fields guide to earthlings?

He describes the neurotypical communication. And regarding my diagnosis I have to think of that so much: my words weren’t enough to carry enough weight over the NT impression of my routine masking.

Like he tells me he is miserable and can elaborate exactly on why (I mean isn’t it awesome I can give you all the on a silver platter?) but I look friendly and social: well he seems normal!

So we communicate with the words as content and for NT that is just a small, sometimes negligible part.

Ah damn I hoped for a different answer, this just makes me all the more sceptical with neurotypicals doing diagnosis (not at your fault!)

Good you found someone!

It is a public clinic in Germany where you also have private paid personnel.

Yes I could pay as often as I want 😅. If it were an appointment covered by phs they of course wouldn’t cover multiple tries.

Thank you for that, it gives me more inner peace about what I am. Stil, l I am doing this for multiple reasons but will have to see if I can go further with them.

In my relationship we’ve hit some walls in my capabilities and accommodated for that but if I may ask - is the counselor neurotypical?
