Wym i have autism which decreases my magic missile spell's cost by 2 points, letting me spam it with reckless abadon :3

[–] tmyakal@infosec.pub 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Magic Missile normally burns a level one spellslot. If its cost is decreased by 2 points, does that mean your Magic Missile recovers level one spellslots?

If so, your DM is way too nice and also likely to deeply regret giving you such an ability.

Nah they just have that ring from Baldurs gate 1 that doubles your level 1 spellslots

[–] orenj@leminal.space 2 points 1 day ago

My autism also lets me use non-vancian magic systems :3

My autism balances out my ADHD.

Both are utterly destroyed by my BPD and general anxiety.

[–] Phil_in_here@lemmy.ca 81 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Oh shit, they're on Autism :3 now? What happened with Autism :2? I completely missed it.

[–] timestatic@feddit.org 3 points 1 day ago

I head everyone is speculating when and if Valve will ever release Autism :3 with Autism :2 being the current version

[–] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 29 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

It's ok, the Autism :3 release is now stable so you should be good to install it; I'm currently running the Autism :3.1 test release in a sandbox.

[–] AgentOrangesicle@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I reinstalled 2.7 because it's a better UI (objectively speaking).

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Fuck we are at 3 now???

I haven't updated since beta and honestly that explains a lot

[–] squirrel@cake.kobel.fyi 10 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Good old Autism :0.9 times

[–] meekah@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Personally I'm more of an Autism :1.6 guy

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

It was never the same after they rebranded from Kanner's Syndrome v0.1.

[–] QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 days ago

I have the source code for the original autism. It involves a lot of updates to the attention coordination that led to the fall of man in the agricultural revolution, where we exploded in number in permanent settlements and no longer could function in Joint Synchronized Attention, which is what a flock of birds or a school of fish is in. But, the more the world changes to revolve around screen-dependent dopamine processing, autism is going to keep growing as we as a global society go througg another axial shift in consciousness.

[–] stepan@lemmy.cafe 65 points 2 days ago (1 children)

i'm diagnosed and i hear people say they are autistic every day. i also used to say it jokingly but turns out it was true so i'm pardoned in retrospect

[–] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (2 children)

My boss at work is diagnosed and has said multiple times that I'm definitely on the spectrum. Also my coworkers have said that. Idk, I don't feel autistic. But I do have very specific opinions on most matters, or absolutely no opinion at all.

not diagnosed, but peer reviewed

[–] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You are likely high functioning autistic.

One of the key aspects to most mental issues are you feel entirely normal. Because you have zero fucking frame of reference for ANY other state of existence.

It's why it's basically impossible to self diagnose with any level of reliability.

[–] Denvil@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

This, I'm the same. The only sign that I can look at myself and think "thats kinda weird huh?" is me stimming when I'm excited. And even then, didn't have a clue that was related with autism until I was told. I thought it was weird, but I just tried to rationalize it as being hyped up on sugar or smth even when I hadn't had any recently.

As far as I'm concerned I'm just like a guy? Idk

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 19 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Jokes on you I'm stiff diagnosed from watching a self diagnosed influencer

Hey let me have my jokes so I don’t freak out thinking about my serious social/spatial impairments and sensory oversensitivities. Or how the smallest break in my flow/routine throws off my whole week and I’m a dysregulated mess.

I’m allowed some fun.

[–] SharkWeek@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 days ago

Yeah, having some in-jokes certainly helps me feel less weird when there's some behaviour I can't mask, etc (eg. being in physical pain due to the noise at a crowded bar, for example)

[–] gigastasio@sh.itjust.works 38 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (9 children)

I’m hesitant to call it a disability, but it certainly is a somethingability.

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

it's a neurodivergence, literally being weird differently

sometimes it's mostly good, sometimes it's mostly bad, sometimes it's balanced

[–] QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works 67 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

when my disability makes me unable to do something other people can do easily

[–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 52 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

When i see people easily do the things which i cannot because of my disability.

When i see other people struggle with something that comes easily to me because of the same disability

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I used to go weeks without saying a word to anyone, have constant meltdowns and got repeatedly hospitalised because I wouldn't go to the bathroom because I couldn't stand the sensation of passing a bowl movement. And I'm still considered "high functioning"

[–] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Likes other says it's a spectrum.

Think about how a leg issue can be different;

  • some people might walk perfectly normal but it starts to hurt after 5 min and they can't lift too much.
  • some might have a limp.
  • some might need a cane.
  • some might need a wheelchair but can still walk a few feet.
  • some might wheelchair and not be able to walk.
  • some might not a leg
  • some might not have either legs

No matter what it is, it's still a disability, just are some are more of a struggle than others.

Autism has a spectrum too, the problem is somewhere in the brain so we can't see it like we can see a cane or missing leg. Things like asthma or color blindness are disabilities too, but we can't see those either.

Spend time with my 5yo non verbal son and you’ll quickly realize it can fully be a disability. His teachers just told us he’s the smartest in his class yet he can’t speak, write, do math, use the bathroom on his own, and will elope into dangerous situations he can’t get out of without help.

[–] sunbrrnslapper@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago (1 children)

For my kiddos it is a disability. 😕 They have amazing talents, but he world just isn't built for them.

[–] musubibreakfast@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (2 children)

If they're up for it, put them in an improv class for kids with autism, this helps immensely. You could reach out to Giant Steps or Second City. I might be slightly biased because I teach improv but it's a good way for kids on the spectrum to practice social situations and to learn how to deal with sudden changes.

[–] sunbrrnslapper@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

That sounds pretty awesome. My kids are a bit on the young side and don't have a great grasp of English so that might be a little bit challenging for them. Maybe when they're older...

I am high functioning. I'm one of those that people like to point to and say it's a superpower. I have a successful career as a network engineer because of my technical mind. I'm generally funny and can make people laugh. I've been happily married for 25 years. I'm not even bad looking.

I cannot drive without sunglasses. Light sensitivity means my eyes will tear up and force themselves closed in bright sun light. I wear flanged earbuds because I have auditory issues so loud sounds are painful and I can't filter out background noise so in even slightly crowded spaces I become virtually deaf. I have an extremely sensitive gag reflex and have thrown up while brushing my teeth enough to a point where I will usually just power through and finish brushing my teeth. I have severe IBS-D and have spent more time in the bathroom than anyone should (smartphones became a life saver when they came along.). I have a kidney transplant and spent three years on dialysis because I have an autoimmune disorder called IGA nephropathy. I am left handed.

It's not always what people view as the "main" issue, so much as all of the co-morbidities that go along with the issue.

[–] ApertureUA@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I am left handed

Is this the least or the most of your concerns given how you threw that fact in? /genq

[–] Lexam@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 2 points 1 day ago

I guess you're left footed too!

Autism spectrum disorder can present in a really wide variety of ways. Sometimes it's severely disabling, sometimes it's a mixed bag of strengths, weaknesses and quirks.

[–] Broadfern@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago

Unironically yes

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Read that as full body tractors the first 2 times and was truly baffled that I had missed this huge development in tractor technology.

It really just told me that I wasn't just a shitty person. I was autistic and shitty.
