#ActuallyAutistics

A good read: cnbc.com/2023/02/07/neuroscien

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?

CNBC · A neuroscientist shares the 4 ‘highly coveted’ skills that set introverts apart: ‘Their brains work differently’By Friederike Fabritius

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?

@autistics @actuallyautistic @actuallyadhd @autism

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.)

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. (*cough*Digger*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.
