I am now on call for a week. I call it going under or the upside down because the entire week becomes a weird time warp.

This is a daily post for “casual” conversation. If you want to post or talk about something non autism related this is where to do it. For example if you want to info dump about your special interest but it doesn’t fall into “autism related” then you can post it here in the comments. All other rules are still active, be respectful to each other.

    I just discovered that my teammate with whom I need to hand in the most important project in the school is incapable of programming. I’ve worked with him for almost 2 years now, and we only have a week to finish it. FML

    I’ve spent 5 years wanting to play The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time on my computer. Finally bought a USB to Controller port thing and the buttons were like not mapping in a way that made sense. Change a few buttons and they’re still wrong. Really frustrating lol So I unplugged it and turned it off. I could always play on my Game Cube or N64 but was thinking of streaming it so yeah. I’ll sort it out but had had enough for the day at that point.

    Been playing some Marvel Rivals and it’s just like Overwatch but better. Except their ‘Lucio Ball’/Rocket League mode suuuuuuucks and is mega frustrating since the ball detection is janky. Anyway yeah I also hate getting bitched at by damage dealers when I’m the only healer. Or when they run off and die in some random place. Like yeah my person I can’t heal you on the other side of the map while I have a DPS or two tunneling me as everyone ignores that I’m dying.

    my employer has gone bankrupt. we all did our jobs, followed the process, and suddenly the money was gone.

    me and most of my colleagues have already gotten and taken new job offers but the stress added just by the fact that this happened has me totally ruined. i grind my teeth so hard in my sleep now that i get headaches and have trouble opening my jaw in the mornings. thankfully i have a medical mouth guard to spare my teeth…

    Hey! I’m new to this community and just wanted to say hi! :)

    I have pretty much no clue what to expect here. I just find it cool to see other weirdos like myself, but with other interests, struggles and brains.

    How often do those threads get posted? Weekly?

    Just to start a conversation, a random thought I had today: How do you think would have neurodivergence shaped human society in the ages of hunters and gatherers?

    What unique thing, that annoys you, like sensory overloads or pain tolerance, would have been an absolute gamechanger and huge advantage, when we didn’t have shopping malls and Tinder, but wild berries and a camp fire?

      Hey welcome! This is a daily thread. I like to think most shamans and wise people were probably ND.
