  • Stay vigilant

    Jump

  • By nature noticing these things repeatedly either comes from hypervigilance or having sensory differences that make you hear footsteps when others would not.

    Obviously there are exceptions like if you live on a floor lower than someone or something.

  • What does not get easier to handle in life?

    Jump

  • Life itself doesn't get easier until you learn how to make boundaries and life the way you really are. Ask anyone that has "come out" as gay, trans, or autistic. It sucks at first but life gets better once you learn who you are and stop being sorry for it.

  • Whats on your USB stick? Looking for recommendations for handy tools

    Jump

  • I work in a PC repair shop and I run my tool stick on this way. By the way, you can just put a folder in your Ventoy and store non-iso files so you can have portable apps and so on.

    • Acronis (can clone to reduced size drives unlike clonezilla which can only clone to equal or bigger)
    • MemTest86 & MemTest86+ (+ is the FOSS one. Recommend both because sometimes one won't work)
    • Don't forget that you can put other stuff in a Ventoy, not just .isos. I have shitlods of utilities in a folder beside all the .isos.
    • Tons more but I just woke up for work. I will make this list much longer when I get there of I can remember to

    Edit: ADHD did ADHD things. Here's some more stuff. A lot of it is Windows-centric because that's what we specialize in. ISOs:

    • PC Unlocker (Windows password remover, paid)
    • Gandalf's Windows Preboot (similar to Hirans, but modern. Paid.)

    Utilities:

    • CrystalDiskInfo (SMART checks and more on SSDs)
    • CrystalDiskMark (SSD benchmark)
    • FastCopy (Windows copy utility. Free)
    • HDTunePro (v5.00 specifically. After this, license binds to a single machine. HDD SMART checks, benchmark, secure erase, sector scans, and more.)
    • OCCT (CPU, GPU, Memory, PSU, and other checks and stress tests. Top-tier tool.)
    • F6 Drivers (drivers for NVMe detection on some laptops)
    • Spacesniffer (visual representation of disk utilization. Similar to WinDirStat, but looks nicer/runs quicker imo. Free.)

  • Yes this is the correct answer. The words in the meme are written to a hypothetical end user. They would not reference technology like the other person said.

  • What second hand laptop should I buy?

    Jump

  • I love old machines but 7 years old is a lifetime in computing and especially laptops. Most normal laptops last like 3-5 before they fall apart. One thing that is cool about Thinkpads is that they are often obsolete before the fall apart.

  • i'm 40 years old and just had ALL my teeth extracted in one go. The pain is excruciating. Any tips for pain relief?

    Jump

  • Our teeth do much better when we eat a diet that's more in line with our evolution. Check out pictures of primal tribes. They very often have beautiful smiles.

  • Yeah definitely a stupidity problem and not an education problem. /s

  • What would you recommend: T480; Carbon X1 Gen 6; Or Dell 7480?

    Jump

  • If you go with the T480 (not sure about the S model) you can run dual batteries and it's runds FOREVER

  • So I'm not a doctor but as I understand it, CAT-Q effectively is a booster for the RAADS-R. A lot of the RAADS-R is either understanding or recognizing the symptoms of autism, but people who are high masking (aka "camouflaged") have often learned to hide/not notice their autistic traits. Reminder of course, the "A" in CAT-Q means "autistic".

    That said, I think 100+ on RAADS-R before a fairly high CAT-Q is something worth considering alone.

    I have a special interest in psychology and if this was something related to a mental health condition I would be the first to tell you that the best way to learn is peer-reviewed studies, published references like the DSM-5 (imperfect as it may be) and so on. However, autism is not a psychological issue, it's a neurological difference. This means that the best way to learn is to talk to autistic people (which you currently are!) and see if the little things that make you/them "weird" resonate with each other. If you're feeling more introverted than that, you could maybe find an autistic YouTuber that "clicks" with you and see how their experience compares to yours.

  • Hey there I replied to the person that replied to you but I think that comment may be of value to you. https://reddthat.com/comment/12415216

    And FWIW, there is only one kind of autism. ;)

  • FWIW if you're 18+ there is less reason to get formally diagnosed. University of Washington did a study some time ago which found self diagnosis is rarely wrong. Link to that PDF here: https://depts.washington.edu/uwautism/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Self-Diagnosed-Adult-Autism-Resources-handout-9-22-22.pdf

    A good way to find out is a combination of a couple tests. The RAADS-R is the most accurate known autism test, is is over 80% accurate. Here is a free one that doesn't require registration: https://embrace-autism.com/raads-r/

    And if you doubt you're autistic in any way (guessing based on wanting to be diagnosed), the CAT-Q is a good test to identify camouflaged autistic traits that you've learned to hide. This one is also free from the same place: https://embrace-autism.com/cat-q/

    Feel free to ask if you have questions. I'm late diagnosed myself (was over 30) and it's a big world to navigate blindly!

  • Not autistic but I feel this rule

  • Interesting, thanks for sharing. I have heard of xxy, but not how it can look neurodivergent, so that will be my light reading for the evening!

  • Not autistic but I feel this rule

  • OP what makes you think you're not? This post is autistic AF, as someone autistic.

    I'm very high masking when I choose to be (sometimes when I'm not.. it's sort of automatic by nature at times) and in a lot of cases people never know. I was in my 30s before I figured it out, and I used to use the saying "I'm not autistic but" a lot.

    There are free tests available. AMA (not a pro but I have over 30yrs experience!)

  • Laptop recommendations

    Jump

  • This simply isn't true. They are still cheap even for decent stuff. I got a T15 Gen 2 when it was 2.5yrs old for about $400 on eBay. You're not going to get an even remotely decent laptop in most cases for that kind of money. And to be clear, I love old Thinkpads. I have them going back to the IBM days.

    Modern Thinkpads: -easy to work on -plenty fast for most things -still made of the carbon composite and magnesium chassis we like -hinges are beefy -upgradeable ram -available with GPU -lighter and easier to daily than any of the old chonks -replaceable keyboard, track pad and track point, and fingerprint -dual thunderbolt connection (and docks are stupid cheap.. I find them for $30 sometimes)

    Downsides exist but they're not the end of the world: -one drive slot (drives are huge now, who cares) -8gb of RAM is soldered but the rest is not (max 40gb) -internal battery but laptop is faster and has better battery life than my maxed out T580
