It's Monday 10/19/2026. Hey, What's Going On!

I've found it harder and harder to continue with a day if something doesn't go right.

I just get really sad and shutdown effectively.

Can't play games or watch content (attentively, I can "watch" something but it's not being processed by brain).

Depression certainly doesn't help but it's not totally that.

:(

Have you found this?

I feel the opposite, Getting late diagnosed made me feel less broken as things started to click why I am how I am.

Rather than trying to blend in and "fix" who I am, I've started to just not bother trying.

How do you feel about learning?

Pretty early on, I got told to stop asking 'why/how?'.

I'm not sure why they thought I was questioning them specifically and not out of curiosity.

Stopped me from Questioning things during school which I think just made me mask heavily unfortunately.

I was and had been undiagnosed my whole life until recently.

I love learning, Tinkering and Data.

how to use javascript safely?

I just use JShelter, It adjusts certain features by adding lies or faking the info they give out.

I've always thought having javascript totally disabled / on a whitelist basis makes you identifiable more.

I guess it all depends on your threat model.

I've been watching my DVD collection more from disc (Rather than digitalising them, then watching).

I use a Raspberry Pi 4 and It's always had a gap where the GPIO pins are exposed. It's bothered me for so long so I finally got round to designing and printing a little cover for it.

The angle isn't exactly the same but it does the job and makes it look much nicer/complete. A little cover makes it look more like a device than just a Raspberry Pi weirdly enough.

Does anyone else sometimes feel alien when you learn that the general public cares about all sorts and I just don't even think about or understand why I should care about it.

I've got next to no stress about the average stuff everyone else (that aren't on the spectrum) does, Yet the little details of generally living my life etc make me really stressed/upset if it isn't correct or going how I think it should.

How good is your memory?

I've got great memory, Everything gets sorted away in virtual filing cabinets however finding that info again sometimes gets difficult due to retaining so much. I can't regurgitate/share the info, I just know a lot of things.

Things like Names sometimes takes a minute to recall, Especially if I've not spoken to them in a little while.

Yeah very complicated.

It can be the same with add-on configuration like uBlock much in the same way.

If you stick to the default config you're more likely to be the same as most users however it's also not extremely uncommon for people to have the same adjustments made be that lists or other settings.

The Mullvad browser is setup with this methodology, you can look the same as others if you stick to their default setup.

Like you say, Different factors can mess everything along with the users specific thread model.

I've had to spend money on a new pair of wired earbuds as my current pair puts pressure on ears when I wear ear defenders over them.

I just don't like spending money on things unless absolutely necessary however I feel I do need these new ones (if they don't have the same issue..).

Just seems wasteful when my current pair are fine otherwise.

I'm not going to stop using my current pair as they're fantastic, I just can't use them when I have defenders on.

Fingers crossed these additional ones don't cause the pressure due to the shape.
