  • Honestly, I find it amusing. They take weird as an insult because they’d use it as one meanwhile there’s a notable number of people who self-identify as weird.

    I suppose logically I would though I don’t usually use the exact term. More often I’ll state ‘Normalcy is overrated.’ Whomever I’m talking to can think whichever term about me. If they vocalize it and it’s distasteful to me I might redirect to ‘weird’ but I generally don’t feel the need to give them a term… which I guess is weird in it’s own right considering most people would give their preferred term xD



  • I was diagnosed originally at 3yo with Asperger’s. As mentioned by folkrav this diagnosis is outdated, ‘Asperger’s Syndrome’ isn’t a thing anymore. To the best of my knowledge it’s currently all Autism Spectrum Disorder with numbered levels associated with each diagnosis ranging from 1 to 3.

    The old Asperger’s diagnosis is, AFAIK, translatable to Autism Spectrum Disorder Level 1.




  • The actual experience of them? About the same. How much that impacts my life? Less than before.

    Because I have greater vocabulary for describing what’s wrong and have greater agency in my life to decide not to experience it I can avoid it better. I’ve also found that drowning some textures with others works;

    Ex: melted cheese outside of the context of pizza or as a sauce is not good to me. However adding several other textures helps a lot. So getting a cheese burger when I ordered hambuger is only really a dealbreaker if it was meant to be bun, catchup, & burger. But if I get other ingredients light cheese isn’t unacceptable.















  • Yeah, I feel that. Plenty of weapons I’ve sold the moment they hit 30 'cause I didn’t want to so much as look at them anymore. Most daggers give me that feeling… at least in substantial part because I really don’t like to do stealth in Warframe.

    I’m still collecting things but I think I’ve got every melee weapon except for the other Heavy Scythe and a large number of primed melee weapons. There’s probably a program somewhere that’d help me track what I should be collecting to fill in those last few MR to 30+.
