| 2022-10-09 17:07:17 | <geekosaur> | not sure how I ended up doing two private betas for social networking sites when I'm autistic; I was also in on the final private beta for what became AOL (but then was AppleLink Personal Edition) |
| 2022-10-09 17:40:10 | <liskin> | geekosaur: when were you diagnosed? |
| 2022-10-09 17:40:47 | <liskin> | I don't have my diagnosis yet but I'm becoming more and more certain that an awful lot of things could be explained by one |
| 2022-10-09 17:41:18 | <liskin> | and many of those symptoms had viable workarounds when I was a kid or a uni student |
| 2022-10-09 17:41:53 | <liskin> | and those that didn't have workarounds were tolerated by my peers because I was high functioning and smart/valuable/useful enough |
| 2022-10-09 17:42:09 | <geekosaur> | sounds familiar. I realized I was autistic when the Asperger paper came to light in the mid 90s and I recognized myself in it |
| 2022-10-09 17:42:22 | <geekosaur> | but I was only formally diagnosed 2 years ago |
| 2022-10-09 17:42:32 | <liskin> | now without that network of people, in a different culture and having to spend energy on all the adulting stuff, it's a different story |
| 2022-10-09 17:43:01 | <geekosaur> | it also gets harder as you get older, I've found |
| 2022-10-09 17:43:17 | <geekosaur> | like I have less energy to spend on things other people take for granted |
| 2022-10-09 17:43:33 | <geekosaur> | (look up "spoon theory" sometime) |
| 2022-10-09 17:43:42 | <liskin> | anyway, my point was meant to be that being part of a social networking private beta isn't that weird despite being autistic |
| 2022-10-09 17:44:06 | <liskin> | demography of early social networks was wildly different than these days |
| 2022-10-09 17:48:47 | <liskin> | spoon theory looks like a concept that I've been intuitively aware of for a while |
| 2022-10-09 17:50:02 | <liskin> | I've actually been trying to prioritise using money to make someone else handle some of those daily tasks, but it looks like it's not as easy as I thought |
| 2022-10-09 17:50:52 | <liskin> | there's still more stuff that I need to do on a daily basis than I had to when I was a uni student and had parents |
| 2022-10-09 17:51:20 | <liskin> | yet the amount of money it costs me is absurd |
| 2022-10-09 17:52:41 | <geekosaur> | yep 😞 |
| 2022-10-09 17:55:00 | <liskin> | (but then we made the somewhat silly choice of moving to an extremely high-cost-of-living location because it's a necessary step in my wife's career) |

| 2022-10-09 21:54:56 | <HP-UX> | Asperger's here. |
| 2022-10-09 21:56:01 | <HP-UX> | I think the latest psychiatrist said, and had some testing done, and yeah. Highly functional autist apparently. But still not without behavioral inabilities and disabilities in processing various input. |
| 2022-10-09 21:56:44 | <HP-UX> | My entire life has been agonizing due to that inability to socialize, know what not to say, when to say, how to say, with what sort of diction, connotation, idiomatic usage... |
| 2022-10-09 21:56:53 | <HP-UX> | \o/ |
| 2022-10-09 21:57:00 | <HP-UX> | A computer will never make fun of you. |
| 2022-10-09 21:57:06 | <HP-UX> | A computer will never harass you. |
| 2022-10-09 21:57:10 | <HP-UX> | A computer will never judge you. |
| 2022-10-09 21:57:27 | <HP-UX> | If the computer breaks or doesn't do what I want, it's not because it doesn't like me... |
| 2022-10-09 21:57:34 | <HP-UX> | It's beacuse I did something wrong. |
| 2022-10-09 21:57:49 | <HP-UX> | People are mean, man. People are so mean. |
| 2022-10-09 21:57:52 | <HP-UX> | \o/ |
| 2022-10-09 22:00:00 | <HP-UX> | 1) I can't understand why anyone wants to be my friend or talk to me. |
| 2022-10-09 22:00:30 | <HP-UX> | 2) I have no idea and I cannot figure out what anyone is intending when they come to me with anything. I literally almost always misunderstand their intentions. |
| 2022-10-09 22:00:46 | <HP-UX> | I cannot pick up on verbal or linguistic clues in conversation. I have to be explicity told what is happening. |
| 2022-10-09 22:01:17 | <HP-UX> | People have called me anti social, rude, obnoxious, put me down, cursed at me, even hit me and kick me. |
| 2022-10-09 22:01:35 | <HP-UX> | \o/ doesn't matter. One day I will die and all this will be over. |
| 2022-10-09 22:01:37 | <HP-UX> | Just waiting... |
| 2022-10-09 22:04:16 | HP-UX | wipes his tears away. |
| 2022-10-09 22:04:30 | <HP-UX> | Alright, I got work to do. Sorry for my nonsense. I don't know what to do. |
