Away From Konversation

You read all these bricks?!

It maybe work less on you but it probably still work well on you. Advertisement isn’t as much about product anymore, it’s about brand. A logo seems innofensive but shown enough it become more familiar to you increasing the chance you choose this brand when you buy a product.

Another type of ad is the “cool people do this” kind with the objective to create a need and make you buy a product of this type. Even if you don’t choose the brand that advertised it you still enter the market. If you care less about the judgement of other this kind of ad probably work less, if you’re desperate for bonds maybe it work better so I don’t really know how different it can be among autistics.

In any case my advice would be to not let your guard down, that’s exactly what the seller want. Use an adblocker, mute the tv during adds, don’t look at the advertising poster when you walk or drive outside. You could even talk about this to your mayor.

Store a backup on a USB stick you keep in your house (in another room than your computer)

A sentence is easier to remember than random letters and it’s length and punctuation make it stronger than most pw. Use a sentence you like from a book, a video game, a show or a music. It’s easier to memorize and bring a bit joy when you type it.

Good but hide at least the Walmart logo please

If I can’t have several hours a day I will take them on my sleep time. If I have only 2-3 hours a day it will have a cost.

Being good at geoguesser is way more useful than it may seem

I always have this problem on yt. At least I can complain in comments

Once I ordered food online. After I choosed everything and was ready to pay the web page said that I not only need to create an account but also download the app. I don’t know what they wanted from my phone, probably notifications or geolocalisation. I ate elsewhere.

The most frustrating experience I had was with brico dépot. To buy a shelve I needed to create an account but it blocked me because my behavior was “abnormal”. After an hour trying to reach customer service they told me to call the shop for them to create me an account, they did but when I tried to connect the password were wrong and guess what? When I tried to reset it they blocked me because my behavior was “abnormal”. The next day I called my mom who created an account for me, I entered the gmail address and the correct password, no “wrong password” error but “abnormal behavior”. I wasted 2 days on this shit.

I use Fast Notepad, since I tried it I never tried any other ones.

I’ve seen a meme like: “There’s too many insect species for him not being autistic”

I can’t tell if it’s more evil than genious or genious than evil.

My random variation in sleep schedule is hitting again. I’m now going to bed at 6 am. Even if it’s far from the first time I’ve still no clue if sleeping during day is better or worse than during night. Both have pro and cons

I don’t understand why she didn’t put her headphones on immediately when going outside, even without music

Keeping a done list everytime I make a to do list. It happen often to me to feel exhausted and guilty because I’m exhausted and gonna rest without having anything of what I’ve planned done. The done list really helps me, I also put things on it that weren’t even in my td list in the first place, like eating in a bad day.

Leitner box work well and because it need you to space your sessions it should help not getting overwhelmed by them. And since you need to chose precisely what you want to learn it make you part the subject.

If you don’t want to try leitner box, defining what you want to learn should help you not trying to learn too much at once.

I love 11 bits and a lot of games from firaxis

The main benefits can simply being sure you are (or aren’t) autistic. You can also have accommodations. Whether you want to get into a diagnosis process or not it can be interesting to talk to a therapist

Cooking time is very variable, focus more on the look, smell and taste than a precise timing. Taste regularly. Cooking is all about experience so the only way to really get better at it is to try and retry, taking notes may help.

I take breaks until I’m ready to start. Risky but work for me
