Has anyone seen my posts in the snooping thread? If you're around when the future gets here, let me know if anything happens.

 I hope to be around when the future gets here, and will stay alert to any new developments!  :viking:

It's interesting how people are so quick to judge their own psychology as a mistake and rather isolate and personify it as a external entity to somehow destroy. Personally, I think it's better to simply redefine it as a inconvenience to be adapted to and utilize to your advantage. I mean realistically, you cannot hide from such things forever and cannot wish for miracles like cures for them. I guess I'm thinking about this because I see some Autistics think so destructively about their Autism. It's a defeatist attitude that perpetuates their own suffering, so why do it? I used to be more like that when I was a child, but then I saw that I had advantages that ordinary people didn't have while the obvious disadvantages existed too, but it seems things balance out somewhat. But my issues were always anxiety, paranoia and lack of motivation, I cannot honestly see being Autistic as a core excuse to any real problems in my life (except from external sources of people judging me so harshly by knowing I was Autistic); but it never seems it was anything on my end, except maybe a few instances of humiliating myself by misunderstanding something, that's it really.
Existence actually has two broad meanings despite its apparent meaningless. The constant reconciliation of all its parts, and the conservation of any closed system as a whole.

Morality can be extrapolated from these meanings to make these two commandments of godless morality: 1). Be in harmony with one another and 2). Care for the environment.

I don't think very much of my autism in the positive sense because it makes my life difficult especially when it comes to things like talking to people at uni. I am all too aware of it then. Just ten minutes ago I went to get something to eat and this person stopped me and asked me how I was and how my course is going. I said fine and stuff. The thing is I don't even know who it was, I didn't recognise them at all. :autism:

I was admiring Prince Albert again today.  He's pretty much of a recluse, but he can make conversation with just about anyone.  If I don't know the person I just sit there like a bump on a log.  I wish I knew how he does it, and I've had Dale Carnegie.  I just feel I'm being nosy if I ask people questions about themselves.

 The thing is, most people love to talk about themselves.  As long as the questions are not too personal, you'll be fine.  :thumbup:

Tell that to my tongue.  Also the brain freeze.  Not having this ability was a major hindrance to being an auditor and was one of the reasons I retired early.

I often struggle to recognise people when I meet them on the street without the usual contextual clues to tell me who they are, like meeting my optician outside the context of her office.  One of my sisters lives nearby, and I even have trouble recognising her.  I also find it difficult to switch my focus to deal with random encounters and I tend to brush people off without meaning to, just because my brain is locked into the task of walking the dog or getting home or whatever.

Peter - that happens to me all the time. I don't recognise people outside their normal settings. They probably think I'm being rude. :-\

I have a friend who has his in spades. I often like walking up to and beside her and doing everything but breathing down her neck. I don't announce myself because there is no fun in this. She just gets "off-put" by this guy who seems to be standing next to her for no particular reason with a funny smile and not moving away. Eventually she will turn and glare at me and then it will dawn on her. "Oh its you? How long have you been there? Why didn't you say it was you"  :asthing:
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.
