  • I can relate to some of what you're describing. A lot of things that I know or solve just happen. I make absolutely no effort and it happens almost instantaneously. It's extremely fast. However, if I can't get it that way, I typically have to externalize the whole process, either by writing it down, talking to someone or myself, or acting it out. But, once I practice the information to the point that "feel it", it turns into that super fast automatic process. People will often say that I'm smart. Even just this week, someone called me a genius. Really, I think I'm pretty dumb. I just have this ability to practice/engage in something long enough that it becomes automatic knowledge that I feel.

  • I dream every single night. When I am going through stressful periods, I journal my dreams down immediately as best as I can remember them. There is usually a symbolic meaning in them that helps me connect with myself. It's as if my unconscious intuition is communicating with me indirectly because it doesn't have a language center, but it still exists and can communicate with fantasy stories. I kind of think that part of me is smarter than my conscious mind in some ways too. It's pretty observant and wise.

  • Thanks for sharing! I find this quite interesting as I continue to have this nagging need to establish what is the fundamental difference between autistic and NT neurotypes that result in the practical differences we experience. Do you know where I can read more about the latest science that focuses on this?

    20mg sounds like quite an excessive amount. Are you sure about that? Do you have a source to support that claim?

  • Sorry for another β€œIs this autism or normal human behavior?” Post.

    I don't think you have to apologize for this. Seeking support with these situations is one of the reasons this community exists. It's even explicitly stated in the sidebar under encouraged:

    1. Questions regarding autism.
    1. Seeking and sharing support.

    Ask away!

  • I love the physical feeling. If you see me rubbing my eyes, I'm having a great time.

  • They're just throwing trash, telling you what your intentions are causing you to defend yourself, which is baiting you into an antagonistic argument. I would downvote and ignore. Also, remember that you can easily block anyone. I'm gonna do that rn πŸ™‚πŸ‘

  • Do they both feel it at the same time??

  • 🎺🎺🎺

  • Nope. It also happened when I was logging into google. When the password section came up, it went completely dark. Luckily, I can move the mouse to the top of the screen, click-hold, and pull down, which will un-maximize the browser, and the screen will come back on.

    The video card is an GTX 1060 6GB. I don't know when I got it exactly, but I did get it brand new sometime around 2017, so it's about 7 years old.

  • wtf, right?? πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

  • if Biden withdraws all aid to Israel and then Israel is hit with another terrorist attack, manufactured or not, that’s the end of Biden.

    Crazy that it's somehow Biden's fault if they get attacked again. Imagine if Netanyahu lost his power because someone else his the US with a terror attack.

  • At the end of the day, the only thing that's of any relevance that could result from the discussion is whether or not you should feel guilty when enjoying the music of someone who may have been a child molester. My opinion is, no, you shouldn't. If that's what happened, the only people who could legitimately feel bad about supporting him, are those that bought his records during the time when those things were taking place, unknowingly and indirectly supporting his actions; and in the same breath: given that it was an unknown consequence of buying his music, I cannot logically hold any of his fans from that era, responsible for anything he may have done with the money he earned from those sales.

    This was the motivation for my question.

  • Ooh, I think I'm the same way. How can someone figure out how their thinking works, be it conceptual, language, visual, etc?

  • I had a similar experience. I'm not a computer programmer, but I took a computer programming class in high school. We had an assignment that I completed like normal. This was a long time ago, but if I remember correctly, it was something about making 3 separate programs, then making another program that all it did was run the 3 other programs in sequence. Apparently, I was the only one in the class that did it right and everyone else bombed it. All I did was follow instructions. I have no idea how anyone else didn't complete the assignment correctly. Did they just add their own desires to it? Did they disagree with the instructions? How did they mess it up??

  • But if I hear a song with coherant lyrics 1 or 2 times then I can repeat it from memory acapella, instrumental solos and all, with perfect accuracy on lyrics and like 95% accuracy on the notes due to my iffy singing voice

    Woww! That is some Mozart level stuff

  • that was me in my motorcycle years. it was fun, intense, and exciting, but risky af. i knew 3 people that died.

  • that's super interesting! thanks for sharing. now, I'm think about reading that book. maybe my library will have it.
