I am taking a class to learn a second language. The things I am having trouble with are the things I have trouble with in my native language (English) as well. Such as:
speaking in front of others
thinking of things to say
taking too long to say something because I need to prepare the wording in my head to make sure I am precise and will not be misunderstood (and get misunderstood anyway)
not rambling once I do start saying something
understanding what other people are saying when there is a lot of background noise
making eye contact
Thankfully as soon as the lesson is over I can go directly home and be alone for several hours.
+1. I know many other F1 sponsors are far worse companies doing far more damage (e.g. Google, Petronas, Aramco, Oracle), but I cannot conjure for them the visceral hate that I have for Atlassian.
I guess years of being forced to use Jira and Confluence will do that.
BTW, buying the official dock may not solve your problem. I have the official dock. When the Deck battery gets low, it does not provide enough power for both the dock and one of my keyboards.
The number of times I wanted to go get a burrito for lunch (Moe's was next door to my office building) but went hungry instead solely because I did not want to hear "WELCOME TO MOE'S!" is very non-zero.
Letting the majority of voters who have to deal with the consequences of our collective decisions impose their will on the minority of self-centered rich people is a great way to run a government.
You just described me better than I could, down to what my wife says. (Except I never got therapy.)
I never got treatment, and do not see what advantage treatment could give at this stage of my life. The important thing for me is having a few friends who are also autistic, having a spouse who understands my issues, and having a job that accepts my strengths and weaknesses.
I think the lack of friends who are also autistic was the big difficulty for me early in my life. I did not know I was autistic, and did not have any interactions with anybody else who was. I always felt like an outsider, even at home with my family. Having a few (but no more than a few) friends I could really relate and connect to, and the independence to be me and not have to conform all the time make life good.
