You just need to find a hobby that you can do at work. Can be reading books, making music, playing video games, watching TV shows, chess etc.

Working on some hobby coding project could also be fun. When work is slow I work on an HTTP client that's terminal based.

Also check if you can go out for a haircut or do misc errands and with enough excuses you could put a gym workout while at work. Maybe you say you have a dentist or a doctors appointment but go to the gym instead. Kids are also a great excuse like "my kid is sick today so I'm going to pick him up and leave early" and you just go to the gym and do groceries.

If I had that type of situation I'd play tons of video, right now I'd play factorio and go to the gym. I might also see if there are some nice people at work that I can schedule a meeting with to just banter.

That's a question that is very hard to answer. Dogs have a similar-ish brain structure but there's a good chance you need a massive prefrontal cortex to have a chance of getting autism.

It's a sin doing that to an elote.

I'm going to say "The prince" by Machiavelli. The modern title would be "How to play power games and hold onto power" or something. The content is nice and solid but it's clear he should have hired an editor. His sentences are longer than most paragraphs.

The advice in the book is outdated to be fair. He essentially says "use money to make money instead of your time" and recommends getting on the housing ladder and using the fact that upgrading houses doesn't cost capital gains.

Never read it, but what I've heard it's wishful thinking combined with a self-fulfilling prophecy. Like "I manifested getting a healthy body so I started eating healthy and going to the gym so the Secret works". The manifest part in completely optional but I can see it helping some people.

The main point of the book could have been summarised up in an email. I listened to it as an audio book just to know what it's about and it's just "communism bad" mixed with everything Margaret Thatcher could masturbate to.

That will be labeled as "other" in those cases

I consistently lose and always fail the vibe checks. I have given up on trying to win and now I sow chaos for fun when people insist on playing them.

It's a fun trick to enjoy the game even if winning is off the table.

 

I'm looking for sleeping tricks and thought some other people here might have similar issues or good tricks. Can be anything from getting the motivation to go to sleep to actually tricks to falling asleep.

My current trickbook is basically this:

Podcasts, but it has to be in some goldilocks zone of interesting to enough to keep attention but not too good so it gets exciting.

I've also done meditation in bed when falling asleep that tends to work.

Consistent routine is good. Shower, brush teeth, lights off, episode, sleep.

I'm curious to see what other autistic people are working with here.

 
 

I'm born in 1992 so this game is a bit before my time. I started playing it and got completely hooked. It's an absolutely fantastic game that would still hold up as a quality indie game today.

Music is amazing. Characters and character development is amazing. Story is very good. Combat is genuinely fun instead of feeling like a chore that cuts you off from the game. Art style is amazing.

I was surprised how much quality they could fit onto the SNES back it the day, it's a really good game and everyone with a potato can ploy it.

Pro tip: Remasters have some UI unpleasantness so it's best to stick to SNES emu version. I tried the Android and they used some native android font that ruined the immersion a bit. There's also a tight running section that's particularly unsuited for the mobile version. SNES is best, as originally intended.

 

So I of course screamed BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD and SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE like any reasonable human being. Then maimed some people with a knife, drank their blood etc.

She won't talk to me now and I don't understand why. Do you guys think the knife was to small?

Any help very much appreciated.

Does anybody else experience that Android activities get destroyed and rebuilt all the time when switching between apps?

Browser page gets reloaded and form values disappear.

Authorising a payment in different app can make the payment fail.

General bad experience when multitasking 3 apps and swapping between.

(I'm on Redmi Note 12 with HyperOS)
