A desperate and enraged man will not be reasonable.

FUCK YOU KIMBERLEY-CLARK. You're a shitty employer.

This hurt the share price, for a day anyway....

Need to get back to the epstien files to distract from the giant bed shitting clusterfuck in the strait of hormuz.

Epstein is a much more manageable PR disaster

Once that gets too hot, it will be back to executing transgender ANTIFA homeless veteran illegals

it's so true. other people don't need to conform to your standard or wishes or priorities. Expect people to act the way they act, even if that means they act shitty.

Accept the fact that most people will use you to compare themselves against to boost their own ego. They may look down on you for something out of your control, and it isn't your responsibility to give a shit or fix that. Just do the job.

I can't say I have many firends at work, I don't. But my indifference makes me a boring target for bullies too. Throw shade at me, IDGAF, I know how (not) to value the opinions of others.

One of the most common ways for people to assuage their own insecurites is to put someone else down.

It's an immediate weird kind of ego boost for the majority of people, especially if they can also have someone agree with them.

It's pretty unreasonable. I'm guessing there might be a common theme to find with other apes, but yeah its really something you can write off as thoughtless.

I accidentally found myself outside my ad blocking bubble the other day and looking at youtube. It immediately pissed me off to have to put up with.

How do you still believe that the term limit is a likely time for this insanity to end at?

[–] TerdFerguson@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

I agree, it isn't worth the seizure. Even after the the prescription ends, its still to risky to try again IMO.

Man, those guys look like assholes.

I mean it wasn't meant seriously, but I can understand why you might take it that way.

(we decided as a group that we didn’t like having our mental status named after the Nazi scumbag that tortured us to come up with our diagnosis)

I'll digress from the post a bit here... I can appreciate what you're saying, but this is a wild distortion of what occurred to reclassify Asperger's Syndrome as ASDL1. This is not what happened or why it was done, and there is no credible evidence that Hans Asperger himself was a Nazi or that he tortured anyone.

Again, I appreciate where you are coming from. This story, although many people believe it, is not at all correct. But yes, his work to understand and determine the nuances of autism was used by Nazis to determine who would be killed and who wouldn't. He did cooperate with them, but whether he doomed a group of people or saved another one in that situation is a matter of perspective.

And I personally don't think we should change the names of the things that might be rooted in darker history, regardless of the actual events, well-understood or not. Not simply for the sake of it (again, that's not why it was done in this case). That begs us to forget things that need to not be forgotten. Maybe part of why we find ourselvse repeationg our mistakes as humans.

Speaking, of course, as an autistic person myself.

We need to give the Aperger's type of autistic people the power to rule.

Maybe as some kind of council, because you can still end up with an Elon if you're not careful.

I'm planning on trying out some FL-41 coated glasses for my next pair. They are meant to help migraine sufferers manage their light sensitivity, but I wonder if they might be effective for managing my own light-related sensory issues.

Anyone here try them?

So, I'm a job-having asperger-type autistic man. L1ASD, I guess is the way to refer to it currently.

Shout out to all the non-job havers and everything in between, I get that I'm fortunate enough to have been able to manage to navigate through life and somehow sustain a career (in tech ofc).

OK - here's my thing. My boss was fired last week due to corpo doing what corpo does, not because he did anything wrong, and he was a good dude that was supportive and wasn't bothered by the fact that I am autistic and that I have certain communication-related differences than the rest of the team. He was kind of stablizing presence too for others on my team that are less understanding.

I have to tolerate teammates that lowkey openly mock me for my communiction challenges. Some of them know I'm autistic and are just ableist dicks that are mad they can't throw around the r-word like they used to, others in the extended team don't know but follow the lead of someonw who does. Whatever, not the point its just life.

Now I will have a new boss in about a week, I expect I will disclose to them to at least make an attempt for them to try to not judge my autistic persona in the arenas where it is most debilitated. You know I want them to suspend that surface-level jusdment and hold off for a character judgement instead, where I'm pretty solid and would prefer to have my value judged. Of course this isn't how people work and sadly we see today the cultural tides pushing back against diversity, and that includes the neuro kind.

I know I can't control this but I hate having to figure out somoene new, especially a boss. I know that things change, and like many of you I like consistency. I at least like to be in the driver's seat when change is required.

I am just feeling so drained. Thanks for reading.

 

I know that’s a problem a lot of us share. I need some guidance from someone who has it figured out.

Someone here has gotta be a self-study in gastroenterology. Well I hope so anyway.
