Counter argument, every year is the year of the linux desktop because its a good meme to share our enthusiasm for the platform.

Also any year that someone switches their main desktop to linux is the year of the linux desktop for them personally.

It doesn’t have to mean anything beyond it, there is no failure condition or something to chase.

It is so undervalued for how amazing streaming your own music collection is.

Both this and the opposite example where the CMO declares the captain unfit but the rest of the crew are still loyal and follow the captain as i I believe actually happened to Janeway.

I also think that any bridge officier ranks above CMO to become captain in an emergency situation. So they would need to discharge all bridge officers and trust that they will all comply in order to become captain themselves.

Nothing from within is traveling from B to A. Time stays linear regardless what slice you observe.

In my experience the suppressing of the impulsive parts of my brain also suppressed my natural curiosity.

I can agree on being more alert but i feel the stay interested is assumption.

To answer the question directly:

Yes, so common its a textbook level stereotype.

But i am willing to argue what it really is, because as i have come to realise a definite line between child and adult hood does not actually exist.

As people grow older social life becomes more complex and how hou are perceived plays a big role. People are thought that acting grown up is good and are belittled for acting childish.

Teens eventually distance themselves from their childhood as an attempt to seem more mature to their peers. Even if they secretly really stil love that thing.

Autists often lack the luxury to do this, your same aged peers have seen through your young mask time and time before, they know your different you are already an outsider.

Because you don't have a high social standing that you can lose on a whim it matters less if people continue to see you “being weird” and you found you really like those things… in a world where there are many things you don’t.

But its not that autism directly makes you like things we deem childish, its that we are more honest about what we like, and society is following us here. Just have a look at all the Pokémon and Hogwarts stuff for adults. Spongebobmemes.

Adults who play is decreasingly no longer a taboo and the stereotype will fall.

But there is also the related stereotype of having friends outside your age group. Basically for those people it’s easier to mask.

Younger kids see a cool older kid that isn’t belittling them for being kids and even plays with them. You’re the coolest person in the world for them if you do that.

Older people just see a young inexperienced someone all the way while being experienced enough to be less judgmental and more practical socially. They have no need or desire to be rude at you because you are not competing for a social standing like teens are in school.

I once read about an idea of putting rice grain sized measuring devices all over an agricultural field with a mesh network to collect all kinds of the data for farming

Then a coworker asked how we would remove such e-waste eventually.

The problem with this is actually not AI its the lack of respect on the human part.

If you don't want to have a conversation there are much friendlier ways to express this.

I am an introvert but have often employed the trick of asking about something you already know just to break the ice. (And stay within a comfortable topic)

ADD and autism are one stone trow removed from each other most people that have one have a little of both.

From a neurodivergent perspective they are all the same bigger spectrum that includes dyslexia, cdc, ocd..

I think its very likely your mom is overworked partly because she is also juggling her own challenges between it all.

You didn’t mention a lot of details about your dad but same kinds stick togetger so i am highly suspecting there is no one in your family that isn’t or wasn’t a “special kid”

NTA

You said you feel like this is your fault, but really how would it be. You are just a kid trying to make sense of your life and survive.

And so is your sister.

Your mother sounds overworked and ridden with self doubt. But what i am missing here is some general knowledge about autism.

It seems your treated as different, “the special one” but autistic reality is that were all just different combinations of individual brain modules.

Do those modules mostly work like most other people, you’re neurotypical. Do they work differently you’re neurodivergent.

But you don’t develop autistic brain-functions out of nowhere. Parts are almost certainly inherited. You might have a mix that enhances some aspects but i can guarantee you’re are in a family of neurodivergent. Unofficially but helpful you may privately consider your family members to be “different kind of autistic” rather then “normal” incl your mom.

Your mom panicking about your sister is a big tell, she seemed spooked. It is possible your sister is going trough depression, which may be a side effect of underlying neurodivergence which she might need help for.

Your parents would need to break the stigma and treat both you and your sister as equals who can grow themselves with each their own proficiencies and challenges and needs.

This probably means trusting you with some more independence, and allowing your sister to express that she needs extra care. A possible angle to suggest something is a dokter once told Me “What works for autistic people often works for everyone” you don't have to discuss wether or not they are autistic (people get really upset if you do that) but you can affirm that she needs some of the care that they give you, while you want the space to grow to not need it anymore.

Good luck!

Our upbringing leaves huge impressions on us that help us shape who we become, but a prison implies a freedom you are kept away from.

If we had no upbringing whatsoever (how would that look like?) would we have more potential?

Even if we could engineer the perfect adult body to be born as, would we retain our reality of unique individual lives or would we all become the same flavour of person?, limiting the range of what humans combined can experience (highs and lows).

I’d argue the restrictive prison is individual life itself, you can never become someone else that exists or experience things as different species. You can only really experience your own perspective of lived experiences.

The people around you are modifiers they may enable you, hinder you but others are never and never have been in charge of your person, regardless of how much they/parents may pretend to be.

Wrong community but i want to give this a fair assessment because of how many don't want to unity against the rich thinking they are it and would have to live with less.

This scenario is not ruling class.

Summarised its wealthy business owner that owns plural properties.

This can be considered high end middle class. And is a good example of how little most people really have. The Middle class that most people believe they belong to is basically just business owners nowadays, almost everyone who is “employee” and not owner is lower class.

The actual rich, 1% upper class which will look at this family and person as dirt.

The 1% upper class does not just stay in a 5 star hotel as if it was note worthy expense. Their accommodations are simply arranged and provided.

They'd laugh at “owns a resort” because thats just a single asset to put on their portfolio of ownerships.

They don’t consider whether or not something is egypt because they are free to fly wherever they want.

The rich will swallow this wealthy person and family whole if their greed finds them.

Somewhere down the line.

The product became a lure.

The customer became the product.

The economy became its own customer.

Disabilities being contextual does not invalidate their existence.

We do not live in an autistic world, hence we face daily challenges of all sizes. Your benefits are a compensation for these challenges.

Almost everything in the bible underlines this.

I read multiple bibles as a young kid not for religious reasons but because i was bored.

I did not fully comprehend that jaweh was the god from our church or that i was supposed to read them as facts. In some parts i was sure he was just the main villain.

Sadly enough the pills rarely help with that, its usually made so you can “peform” like everyone else. (In my experience)

I definitely understand your sentiment, I struggle with many of the same thing.

The thing with perspective is, Imagine a world where:

Humans evolved to be more active during evening, night and morning because midday is too bright for everyone.

Where all clothes where made from no itch materials because everyone hates the itchy ones and therefor wont produce clothes with it.

The meal recipe tell you to add x because otherwise it tastes “too loud” and language evolved for people to have a mutual known understanding of what is meant with that.

Etc

In this world we would not be disabled, you would not need a ramp.

But this world is not any different from the one we live in now. The only difference is people like us being the norm therefore human culture adapts to those norms.

My favoriete example is things like a keyboard, it’s so obviously made for 2 hands. Not having 2 hands is a disability in context of a keyboard but we can just build a different keyboard. The keyboard is not the world. That we can build any kind of keyboard is the world.

This is what i mean with “neurotypical world” normal people don’t understand there are others that need things to be different so they never are. Even when they can be.

Anyway if you are an adult and medication helps you i am not going to object, you are your own expert a you know what is best for you.

It’s a pedantic difference sir, but it checks out.

I understand that drugs do wonders for many neurodivergent people.

But it didn’t for me and stories like this is why i am really worried about the sentiment in general.

You’re born neurodivergent, in a neurotypical world. Destined to feel different, to be perceived an outcast. To have the supposed norms of how humans are and behave not fit how you function.

But as a child and teen. What do you known about who you are? How humans are supposed to behave. You still have to learn it all.

So during this time of trying to understand yourself, the world, exploring your own personality. They recommend drugs that inhibit parts of your growing mental system.

And so you may mature and grow up, never knowing who you really are to begin with.

lies to themselves

Drug addiction will do that, and alcohol is a hard one.
