  • I find taxes, for example, to be inconsequential, immediately. I also find taxes to be…I cannot start until I get every iota of paperwork needed and not needed but deemed important by myself for unknown reasons. And then I dont get those papers, or I do but I dont actually get the papers I need only the accessory things I felt very important. Somewhat overwhelming when combined with other tasks. “Gotta do taxes” “but i NEED to so laundry” “gotta fold clothes, BUT I dont really” so on and so fourth.

    Thank you for your reply. I suppose what I need to do is be more mindful of symptoms and ‘watch myself more closely’ until the assessment.

    I do find moving my toes up and down is comforting, sometimes rocking my upper torso (when i know im not being observed) is also comforting. But it feels natural like probably everyone does that a little bit. Especially when very stressed.

    The social criteria is the main mover or primary motivation for seeking diagnoses. I dont know if it this or that disorder but I have always felt different amd been described in various ways as being different. I find it bery hard to imagine how one can meet friends, maintain friends, let alone have a long term romantic partner who lives in the same household. I never make eye contact as it makes it me lose my train of thought.Eye contact seems like a thing that is directly opposed to meaningful conversation, how can anyone focus and fully flesh out a thought when staring at a goblet of eye. I do feel as though I have higher than average knowledge of how others feel or what their emotions are when speaking to them. I believe this to be an adaptation based on my life.

    A mannerism I’ve been called out on is that my vocal volume is so low thst people cannot hear me and then I will begin to shout a few randomly. This is because I randomly remember that I am prone to speaking too quietly. This has resulted in comedic situations, and people being genuinely upset (angry) thst I was yelling at them.

    Thanks foe the reply


  • Ah this was a thorough reply.

    The memes are fairly relatable.

    No one has diagnosed me. I am speaking to a psychologist whom I specifically asked for an autism and ADHD diagnoses. Im awaiting the actual assessment after filling out a bunch of papers.

    A lot his questions like: do you often not hear your name? Do you find a particular texture uncomfortable? I am find myselfing answering no. It has happened, I believe several times, but its hard to recall these things. The only stimulation I find quite irritable is like a club atmosphere and large crowds in grocery stores or other brightly lit clinical settings eith crowds. Clubs make me feel immediately irritable and tired amd stressed




  • The image presents us with a view of five organisms, implicitly these are cats. It has been said that when fire erupted in Ancient Egypt the citizens would have to stand guard aroind buildings, at intervals to prevent the cat from a ‘divine seizure’ as the cats would rush into the burning buildings, killing them. (Herodotus) Would that this were the case in our time, I ought do the same for these cats as your photograph has presented them in a kindly and genuine fashion such that I want not for them to burn or any other calamity.

    I quite like how they are seen to even exceed the politeness of many humans, they are socially distanced exquisitely, whereas many people-in my experience-are absent skills and politeness in small and/or large social settings. However, it has occurred to me that they are eating-which changes the view, at least a little.

    This was a nice thing for me to see today, Thanks

    Great post rabber

    I quite enjoy how their whiskers seem to cuddling eachothers daintily, but with a small amount of respectable distance given their head tilts.

    I also enjoyed the colors of the right side cat, it is quite striking, reminiscent of cookies and creme.

    Cat on the left appears to have slightly rounder/wider pupils which is isnt concerning, but an observation of mine which may or may not he correct.

    Thanks for sharing


  • That is very kind of you considering your neighbors privacy, we certainly could use some more of that in today’s age of fast-short-unfulfilling media (insta/tik tok).

    I certainly did not mean anything negative, I am just tying to contribute, and I quite like cats so I am trying to encourage those who are posting because it makes me a little bit less sad!

    My one and only cat-mane coon-- I had-I had for a short time. He was Benny. Father did not like him so much, one day he got out and no one did anything about it.

    I hope he was happier. He used to climb in bed and wake up with me before work at 4 or so A.M. I think he was an ‘aggressive lover’ maybe in the way he expressed himself, and thst caused some annoyance to the Father.

    Ill bet going outside for Miez was a very exciting part of his life, a new experience



  • I would like to have a coffee out on that yard with a cat so handsome as this one.

    Review: Scenery: 8/10 Great tree, beautiful color of foliage, perhaps the angle could expose more of the open space Subject: 9/10 Not too sure what would make it 10/10 but I think the cat expresses maturity, politeness, strength of health and bravery. It is a fearless organism worthy of respect. And he or she whom they love is also worthy of a similar respect.

    Thank you I enjoyed viewing this








  • In school maybe but no. I did feel tired basically all day long.

    It did seem that the lecturing and teaching put me to sleep quite often.

    I do find without enough stimulation I am tired, unfocused, and unable to think sharply.

    With too much stimulation I am overwhelmed and become exhausted shortly after an exposure duration-it makes me feel a bit like I’ve got blinders on or I am ultra focused / aroused / stressed for a brief time and then collapse and cant think until I get a moment ( several hours) away from everyone and zone out


  • Ha well better late than never I suppose.

    Have you observed any improvements? You have had some treatment or currently undergoing some?

    I think the 2 things I currently identify with the biggest are: Autism- ‘bottom up thinking’ (i think is what its called) Wherein I tend to converse and think from specific ‘this is a woman drinking a coca cola in swimwear on a hot day’ as opposed to ‘this is an advertisement for coca cola, they are using the heat and the attractiveness of the woman to make an appeal’ if shown an advert for coke.

    ADHD- Not.being able to perform tasks unless there is an immediate consequence

    Both (maybe) Stimulation must be present at the right amount. Too much (a night club) and I start using a lot of energy, im stressed, im less social, I think less clearly, and I fatigue entirely soon after. Often becoming quite irritable and oddly mad at everyone for not being interesting or cool or lacking depth or something illogical.

    Hope its working out for you


  • Good to know that is classified as a disability.

    Feels so ironic how they is so much more talk : news, tik tok, documentaries, etc, about missed and late diagnoses of this sort and yet here I am.

    Who’d 'a 'thunk I would be in almost the exact situation so many people having been raising awareness about.for so long. Not I. Hehe. Kudos to those people as much as I have felt as though therr are some people who misrepresent conditions or overtrivialize, or something, seems I have been part of the problem maybe.


  • I know I likely will and or can benefit from medication but I am also unsure and wary.

    I was prescribed some SSRI and felt relatively horrific side effects and choose to quit before 72 hours were up…amd SSRIs are supposedly meant to be noticed after months of taking them I believe.

    Having nightmares about work. -maybe i dont habe so much nightmares but waking loops of memories of all.slrts of things I did that I wish I hadn’t. Worst was when there was woman (coworker) whom flirted with me in and out of work amd drove my reward systems insane so that it was like I was on drugs amd then having withdrawals–led me to do all sorts of regrettable things. I believe I was like a pet entertainment for her. I dont think her flirts were genuine but rather she enjoyed seeing me aroused/blushed maybe knowing there would never be any true reciprocity

    Thanks
