I also like that Catan stresses working memory less than social games, where you must remember complex social state in addition to observing it. In Catan, the whole state is visible on the board

The thousands of hours isn't so relevant because I know that other things that are usually learned in that amount of time can be learned way faster.

I'd probably ask the therapist and the prescribor for their basis in believing that they're competent to do that, and then consider how reasonable it seems, as a starting point.

Is it not completely normal car maintenance to swap the batteries in gas cars???? That seems like a basic skill of car ownership that most people would just do, except in cases of things like disabilities that make it harder or impossible

It depends on what I think of the person and their expertise. I find professional licensing as it's generally implemented to be poor (too much emphasis on experience hours and not enough on checking skill directly), so if the only issue is a missing or different license, I would not object to that.

I'm quite social, but I only tend to get anything out of socialization with neurodivergent people. This leads to a mismatched needs problem.

Experiencing the double empathy problem melt away when interacting with autistic people (this was, for me, the final proof)

This reminds me of someone whom I used to know who enjoyed videos of cops abusing people, but he thought that he was a good person since he only thought that it was fun when the victim "deserved" it (spoiler: they never did)

I'd take all the stars away for that.
Also, I just stayed in an airbnb with a loose connection in an outlet box that caused audible sparking when any substantial electricity was used anywhere in it. (This means that it was all on one circuit which is also a violation in this case)

Do you have any recommendations for Illinois? I think that I found someone, but it'd always be good to have more information

- bright af LEDs, dimmable to zero, no flicker
- humidifier and dehumidifier (with optimal satisfying steam/boiling/piezoelectric thing)
- heat pump and ac for ideal temperature
- omega noise blocking
- speakers inside to play any noise with high maximum volume, and good fidelity at low volume

I absolutely agree. This doesn't justify what they're doing, at all. It's just a different idea that this reminds me of

The criticisms are valid, to be completely clear, but when I see this it makes me think of a sensory break box. I hid in closets and bathrooms as a child at school (which, of course, adults deemed to be a discipline problem) I might have enjoyed an opaque box that I could crawl into when I wanted

Reading just the abstract and then citing it was a major thing before llms. So, this discussion is more broad than llms

This would probably be a genuinely good policy of democratic control. It removes the moral hazard of minimizing your own taxes while at the same time requiring broad approval for broad spending.

They shouldn't have drug dogs either. Just having drugs on you isn't anyone else's business and shouldn't be illegal

I once met an autistic person who knew this, and who equated masking with not being anti social in the kind of way that, according to them, made jail an appropriate consequence. They literally said that people who didn't mask deserved jail.

This level of caring about being normal feels absurd to me. I'm fine with doing my own thing.

Try doing the test with a therapist to see if you're understanding the questions differently from the intent. These questions aren't written for an ND audience, so non literal meanings are a thing.

It's so inefficient to deal with phone systems. There are hold times where they waste the user's time. There are slow repetitions of any precise information. It's in many cases much more efficient to communicate by asynchronous written messages

I like many autistic traits in and of themselves too, so it seems reasonable to include them under this concept.
