dammit. my various disorders give me all kinds of spellcasting bonii, except for the one where my magic gland fell out.

Magic Missile normally burns a level one spellslot. If its cost is decreased by 2 points, does that mean your Magic Missile recovers level one spellslots?

If so, your DM is way too nice and also likely to deeply regret giving you such an ability.

I also get stiff thinking about the chthaoctardriam of my schizophrenia.

I head everyone is speculating when and if Valve will ever release Autism :3 with Autism :2 being the current version

I have the source code for the original autism. It involves a lot of updates to the attention coordination that led to the fall of man in the agricultural revolution, where we exploded in number in permanent settlements and no longer could function in Joint Synchronized Attention, which is what a flock of birds or a school of fish is in. But, the more the world changes to revolve around screen-dependent dopamine processing, autism is going to keep growing as we as a global society go througg another axial shift in consciousness.

It’s ok, the Autism :3 release is now stable so you should be good to install it; I’m currently running the Autism :3.1 test release in a sandbox.

autism <3

My boss at work is diagnosed and has said multiple times that I’m definitely on the spectrum. Also my coworkers have said that. Idk, I don’t feel autistic. But I do have very specific opinions on most matters, or absolutely no opinion at all.

I don’t want to defend my past self because while I wasn’t evil, I was garbage, and while it objectively wasn’t my fault that I entered college broken n shitty, I let it get worse until I realized I was going over a cliff with the help of a friend and I started working on myself, then acid happened, and juggling, and more acid, and MKULTRA, and a cult, and homelessness. Oh! I was a woman for a few years. Can’t forget that. I stayed at the women’s homeless shelter in Portland; I wasn’t the only one with a beard there! And that’s all going to factor in to how much the hate-fueled peoples are going to fuck themselves for it was my one handler that told me that it was my recovery and transformation that would inspire people.

Yeah, having some in-jokes certainly helps me feel less weird when there’s some behaviour I can’t mask, etc (eg. being in physical pain due to the noise at a crowded bar, for example)

I used to go weeks without saying a word to anyone, have constant meltdowns and got repeatedly hospitalised because I wouldn’t go to the bathroom because I couldn’t stand the sensation of passing a bowl movement. And I’m still considered “high functioning”

it’s a neurodivergence, literally being weird differently

sometimes it’s mostly good, sometimes it’s mostly bad, sometimes it’s balanced

Spend time with my 5yo non verbal son and you’ll quickly realize it can fully be a disability. His teachers just told us he’s the smartest in his class yet he can’t speak, write, do math, use the bathroom on his own, and will elope into dangerous situations he can’t get out of without help.

I am high functioning. I’m one of those that people like to point to and say it’s a superpower. I have a successful career as a network engineer because of my technical mind. I’m generally funny and can make people laugh. I’ve been happily married for 25 years. I’m not even bad looking.

I cannot drive without sunglasses. Light sensitivity means my eyes will tear up and force themselves closed in bright sun light. I wear flanged earbuds because I have auditory issues so loud sounds are painful and I can’t filter out background noise so in even slightly crowded spaces I become virtually deaf. I have an extremely sensitive gag reflex and have thrown up while brushing my teeth enough to a point where I will usually just power through and finish brushing my teeth. I have severe IBS-D and have spent more time in the bathroom than anyone should (smartphones became a life saver when they came along.). I have a kidney transplant and spent three years on dialysis because I have an autoimmune disorder called IGA nephropathy. I am left handed.

It’s not always what people view as the “main” issue, so much as all of the co-morbidities that go along with the issue.

Likes other says it’s a spectrum.

Think about how a leg issue can be different;

• some people might walk perfectly normal but it starts to hurt after 5 min and they can’t lift too much.
• some might have a limp.
• some might need a cane.
• some might need a wheelchair but can still walk a few feet.
• some might wheelchair and not be able to walk.
• some might not a leg
• some might not have either legs

No matter what it is, it’s still a disability, just are some are more of a struggle than others.

Autism has a spectrum too, the problem is somewhere in the brain so we can’t see it like we can see a cane or missing leg. Things like asthma or color blindness are disabilities too, but we can’t see those either.

when my disability makes me unable to do something other people can do easily

Autism spectrum disorder can present in a really wide variety of ways. Sometimes it’s severely disabling, sometimes it’s a mixed bag of strengths, weaknesses and quirks.

For my kiddos it is a disability. 😕 They have amazing talents, but he world just isn’t built for them.

With social behaviour under control, it’s a superpower in my line of work.

Read that as full body tractors the first 2 times and was truly baffled that I had missed this huge development in tractor technology.

Unironically yes

You think FluxPose is going to live up to the hype and finally solve the full body tracking problem?
