  • Is self diagnosing an ok thing to do?

    Jump

  • Yes in my experience, more people with self diagnoses seem to use it as an excuse for behaviour they dont seem willing to work on. I suspect the people I have in mind may even be a little more bibolar than autistic, and unpopular opinion: but those are also the people who are vehement that cannabis helps them cope even though a lot of those behaviours are common with cannabis dependecy.

  • How are you pro-bike and anti-bike lane???

    Jump

  • I dont like badly planned bike lanes. We have some on a main road near me where the bike lane is replaced with parking bays every 50 yards with no thought to how a bicycle is supposed to merge with traffic each time. You reach the end of each section, need to slow almost to a stop to turn out from the end of the lane because the barricade is about a metre from the first parked car in the bays

  • How do you hold a pen?

    Jump

  • I see loads of people holding pens weird ways I dont think it is a sign of autism.

  • Do you have barren walls and utilitarian design autism or horde of trinkets autism

    Jump

  • Barren walls, neat small hordes of interesting things on bookshelves and in drawers, all my furniture is either beech wood or its grey or black. I was a bit more of an interest hoarder when I was younger, but then I lived with a trinket collector and I developed an aversion to too much stuff so now I get rid of stuff I dont use.

  • I assume this is here because maybe you feel he is displaying autistic traits? Firstly: im not a psychologist. From reading 50s and 60s sci fi, authors tend to not seem neurotypical, at least to me anyway - likely a helpful trait in the genre. It seems as though a common idea of the times that seems to be reflected in a lot of their writing, is an overdiagnosis of schizophrenia, and how it was generally used as a blanket term for anyone that just didnt think right.
