A question for autistic writers
A question for autistic writers
To quote two:
“If your workplace is dominated by extroverts who criticize those who prefer to work alone — or skip after-work cocktails — as “not team players,” it may inadvertently alienate gifted people.”
“there is no difference in conforming responses given to high- and low-pressure levels by introverts.”
It feels like they described #autistic me. Then again, I'm an #INFP ( / #Introvert) type of autistic, so it fits.
In addition, I experienced that “not team players” from some managers from a certain company years ago. I don't join after-work cocktails, or any party, and was branded as “not a team player” by some of those in position. I was actually very glad I did not because I later found out they force people to drink, and I can't because I have #gout (other than the fact, you can't make me drink if I don't want to).
Anyway. What about you, my fellow #ActuallyAutistics? Or, are you an extrovert autistic yet still find similarities from the article and studies mentioned in it?

To my fellow #ActuallyAutistics who are also into programming. Can you handle #RegEx / #RegExp?
Up to how much complexity?
When I was younger, it was easy. Today, I have to use a test tool! ^_^;;

One stereotype about us #Autistics is we like #PrimeNumbers and #EvenNumbers. I'm a “yes” and a “no”.
I do like Prime numbers and Odd numbers:
* 17
* 13
* 7
17 is very special.
* 17 is the 7th Prime
* 1 is an odd number
* 7 is an odd number
* 17 is an odd number
* 1 + 7 = 8, although an even number, it symbolises infinity and eternity, and us #ActuallyAutistics
13 is also special.
* A Prime
* An Odd
* A Fibonacci number
And depending on whom you ask:
* The 8th Fibonacci number
* The 7th Fibonacci number
Ironically:
* The anniversary of my first romantic relationship was on: 1997-07-17. It was my first love who picked that, and she had no idea what my favourite numbers are.
* My height is 175 cm or 5'75" to 5'85" (depending on whom you ask).
* Favourite time of the day: 07:00 and 19:00 (7pm). 19 is the 8th Prime. (There's 8 again.)
And I'm #OpenlyAutistic. ^_^

How about you? What two #Autism stereotypes is you and not you?
Are all Autistics autodidacts? Is that just a thing we do?
My dog is awesome.
I was going to leave it at that but then I wondered if #ActuallyAutistics have a particular love for pets, living beings and so on.
If you have a pet or special feeling towards non human beings, feel free to share how wonderful they are in your #autistic or #NeuroDiverse life.
Something to which I've never admitted, and here I am posting it publicly...
How many of we #ActuallyAutistics have quietly, secretly nursed the dream that we could reach people with some talent? Singing? Playing an instrument? Writing? Use some innate talent or skill to connect in ways we can't seem to manage otherwise?
Ça fait quelques jours que je suis arrivée ici, et il est temps que je fasse mon #Introduction en bonne et due forme.
Je suis une nana dans la trentaine et j'ai commencé à comprendre il y a 4 ou 5 ans que je suis #Autiste, j'en apprends un peu toujours les jours, notamment grâce à #ActuallyAutistics, et ça me fait un bien fou d'enfin me comprendre, de pouvoir mettre des mots sur ma vie.
Mes centres d'intérêts sont larges et incluent l' #Histoire, la #Lecture, les #Langues, le #Dessin et l' #Aquarelle, les #JeuxVidéos, mon #Potager, mes #Chat
#Féministe depuis toute petite, et #Antifasciste
To my fellow #ActuallyAutistics, I am curious, do you drive?
I don't know how to drive, but it's something I am considering. Though, knowing myself, I just can't trust myself enough to be good at it.
How about you? Do you drive? What's your experience? Did it eventually get easier even with your specific #autistic traits and quirks?
Please vote in the poll and share your experience.
(Poll will end after 14 days.)

ᜋᜊᜓᜑᜌ᜔᜶ (Mabuhay!) I'm 스노 (雪亮 Yuki), a #Filipino #ASEAN.
I'm an #OpenlyAutistic #INFP person. #ExtraordinaryAttorneyWoo (#이상한변호사우영우) and #InnocentWitness (#증인) gave me the courage to say enough with the discrimination, prejudice, about #Autism and #ActuallyAutistics.
I believe in #FreeCulture, #Privacy and #Security.
My first #Fediverse was in 2008. I used to run a #Friendica instance for the #Philippines, and had a solo #Hubzilla instance.

ᜋᜊᜓᜑᜌ᜔᜶ (Mabuhay!) I'm 스노 (雪亮 Yuki), an #ASEAN from the #Philippines, the “Pearl of the Orient Seas”.
I am an #OpenlyAutistic #Xennial #INFP person. It was #ExtraordinaryAttorneyWoo (#이상한변호사우영우) and #InnocentWitness (#증인) which gave me the courage to say, “enough is enough” with all the discrimination, prejudice, and stigma about #Autism and #ActuallyAutistics.
Furthermore, I strongly believe in #FreeCulture (under which are #CreativeCommons, #OpenKnowledge, #FLOSS, and related). You will also occasionally see me sharing and talking about #Privacy and #Security.
My first #Fediverse identity was in 2008, when it was still called #identiverse (the former was coined sometime 2010–2012). I used to run a public #Friendica instance for the Philippines, and had my own solo #Hubzilla instance. (#DidYouKnow The Philippines is the #SNS capital of the world since 2008. [1] [2])

I love to read #books. My first was Book 5 of the original #CYOA entitled, “The Mystery of Chimney Rock” when I was around four (I still have the book somewhere with a missing cover). By fourteen, I enjoyed reading a non-fiction book entitled simply as “Brain”, and dreamed of becoming a neuroscientist, which sadly remained a dream.
My longest read were #PeterFHamilton's “Pandora's Star” and “Judas Unchained” (more or less 1,000 pages each). My number one favourite is #LynnKurland's “Dreams of Stardust” (I even bought every copy I saw and gave it away).
When it comes to genre, I read anything. In the classics, I love #JaneEyre by Charlotte Brontë. I also read #NeilGaiman's “American Gods”. But I do have genres I favour more than others: #ScienceFiction and #Fantasy. To be more specific, science fiction and fantasy with #TimeTravel and #ParallelWorld elements, if the author can combine it together, even better (like Lynn Kurland's novels: #scifi + fantasy + #romance and sometimes with #paranormal too).
That said, my taste in live-action shows is somewhat similar. And the more complex and/or engaging the story is, the more I love it. Some examples are:
(in no particular order)
* #Grid (#그리드) – https://im.youronly.one/snoworld/%EA%B7%B8%EB%A6%AC%EB%93%9C-grid-explained-2022116/
* #SisyphusTheMyth (#시지프스TheMyth) – https://im.youronly.one/snoworld/%EC%8B%9C%EC%A7%80%ED%94%84%EC%8A%A4-sisyphus-the-myth-2021-explained-logically-2021100/
* #AlphaGateway (#TheGateway) – https://im.youronly.one/snoworld/alpha-gateway-2018-parallel-worlds-explained-201956/
#Sports. I am a #runner. Well, not a professional runner. I run for #health and #fitness. I am also planning on doing #cycling again (my last was during my High School years). My first love was #football, or what Americans call #soccer. I also love #swimming, but what is close and dear to me is #Archery, in particular classic Asian archery, and Japanese archery called #Kyudo (#弓道 #きゅうどう #Kyujutsu). A must.
#Games? This one is a long history. Who doesn't love games, right? To sum it up, I started with Nintendo's “Game & Watch”, then “Family Computer”. I also was able to experience playing in Atari and MSX; as well as table-top #arcade machines. My favourite games are: “Super Mario Bros.”, “#Bomberman”. As well as, “Curse of the Azure Bonds” (#ForgottenRealms) and the Krynn series (#DragonLance) by TSR, “Sim Farm”, “Sim City”, “#PrinceOfPersia”, “#ManiacMansion”, “Neverwinter Nights”, “Eye of the Beholder”, “#Ultima” series, and the Carmen Sandiego franchise, for the PC. (coughDigger*cough*)
In modern #gaming, I highly recommend #GuildWars2, #StarTrekOnline, #Neverwinter, and the open-source #rhythm game, #Quaver.
For extended reality, or XR, games, I play #Ingress, #PikminBloom, #Orna, and #Qonqr; sometimes #PokemonGo.
Last, but definitely not the least, I am a #Natsari as defined in Acts 24. It means that I believe in the #Torah and the #Messiah.
