  • My autistic ass

  • I got around this by developing smart playlists which rotate in stuff I like based on tags and then filtered by how recently the songs were heard or skipped.

    However, this requires a truly autistic dedication to not only maintaining a local music collection, but tagging the shit out of it, and developing complex queries (in Quod Libet) to make smart playlists for all manner of different moods & hankerings.

    If you are a computer-touchy autist with a local music collection though, Quod Libet might just be the tool for you. I do abuse playlists as tags because the UX is better in a lot of ways.

  • I'm mostly able to disconnect which is scary, even tho I make a point to share info about the situation. People have to know what is happening.

  • every month, I need to fill the same prescriptions I've had for between 10 and 20 years.

    every month, one or more persons whose job it is to get those pills into my hands without interruption, fucks it up.

    as a result, the stash of critical medication which I jealously hoard as a hedge against this exact problem (as well as natural disasters, etc) grows smaller. I now have about 7 days remaining. I will rapidly become sick and then completely nonfunctional if I miss my meds for even a day.

    it's now crystal clear that the American health care system is not designed to help me with this problem, and that it has no intention of ever doing so.

  • Melatonin is a clock-setting hormone, not a sleep aid, and most of the supplements on the (US) market have waaaaay too high a dose. I get excellent results from 150ug (0.15mg) taken 4 hours before bedtime at the same time every night, and I suffered from delayed sleep phase syndrome for decades before figuring this out.

    Dumping an entire bathtub full of melatonin (relatively speaking) into one's brain leads to more problems than it solves, and it's not even a very good sleep aid on top of that. Because its actual function is as a clock-setting molecule.

  • Air pollution emerges as critical environmental risk factor for autism, emerging topic review finds

  • Industry also causes air pollution and plenty of it. It's more visually segregated in developed countries. But as an example, have you ever explored the Pakistani factory video genre on Youtube?

    • you place an overdue library book on the floor in front of the front door. the library book merges seamlessly with the environment. six weeks later, you trip over it on your way out the house to go to the library.
