  • I think I am socially ostrasized, what should I do?
  • InvisibleShoe InvisibleShoe Now 100%

    Thats why I said to speak to a GP or psych. In Australia, the GP is first line for diagnosis who then refers you on to psychologist or psychiatrist.

    I'm just suggesting that based on what OP said, RSD could be a possibility and they should see a doctor for help if they are serious about improving their mental health etc.

    I don't know about illusory hearing as related to RSD but I do know that I had similar issues most of my life.

    I used to think people were looking at me, talking about me and sometimes thought that they could hear/guess my thoughts. Started when I was a kid. Found out it was ASD-1 and a brain tumor causing alot of the issues.

    And the only way I found out about that was by going to the doctor. I really do recommend speaking to a doctor about these issues and you might be surprised with what they find and how much better you feel once you can get the right therapy.

    If you are neurodivergent, it might be worth looking into Rejection sensitive dysphoria and Social phobia.

    It may feel like others are judging/bad talking you but that may not be the case.

    Speak to a GP or psychologist, they can help with these types of issues.

  • What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from?
  • InvisibleShoe InvisibleShoe Now 100%

    Black and White. I miss good god games. Most these days seem like they are just casual, mobile style games.

    Splinter Cell. Or a similar tactical stealth shooter. Except made by anyone other than Ubishit

  • How do people that have to wear black nitrile gloves all day keep from having sweaty hands?
  • InvisibleShoe InvisibleShoe Now 100%

    Hyperhidrosis causes sweaty hands and isn't always thyroid related. I have it and had my thyroid checked out for other reasons and doctors say its fine

    I liked using KanBoard. Its simple and runs well inside a docker container.

  • Flood water use
  • InvisibleShoe InvisibleShoe Now 100%

    Not just bodies. When working around flood waters its recommended to wear hazmat gear because the water is contaminated by human waste from septic tanks, dead animals, petrol, oil, various poisons and fertilizers, chemicals from stuff like paint, etc.

    Probably could be cleaned but even for agri use it would be crazy expensive.

    Rio Tinto is moving to solar (and some wind) here in Australia for its aluminum refining and smelting operations. Would be good if the same could be done for steel too.

  • ASD management and assistive tools

    I've taken up gardening and go out to water the plants each morning. I try to make that my mindfulness/relaxation time. Definitely helpful.

    This is interesting. Thinking on it I do like the feel of a new singlet, before it's worn in and is still tight. Makes me feel more balanced and in control.

    Just ordered a compression singlet and I'll give it a go. Thanks for the recommendation 🙂

    What makes you think that the weighted blanket will be helpful? I’ve heard that people like them, but haven’t really looked into them.

    In my reading I came across some info about sleeping problems and one in particular talked about how some ASD people can feel like they are floating on their bed and I remembered feeling that way as a kid. I've also never been able to sleep with just a light bed sheet over me. I like the blankets at hospital that are cool but have a bit of weight to them. And just a bunch of other dots I'm starting connect.

    What is the smiling mind app and why do you like it?

    Its a free mindfulness/guided meditation app from an Aussie non-profit mental health organization. My psych recommended it, saying that practicing it each day can help reduce stress and anxiety. I like it because each exercise is only 2-6 minutes long and I've had difficulty maintaining focus with longer guided meditation exercises.

  • I got some good quality noise cancelling headphones 12 months ago and thought they were great. Since doing more reading about ASD and ADHD, I've come to understand I have some sensory issues. I bought some Loop earplugs a few weeks ago after reading about them in other ASD threads and I love wearing them when driving, shopping or in doctor's waiting rooms. I feel much less anxious and tense. After doing some more reading and reflection, I think that a weighted blanket might be helpful and so I ordered one. I've been using softer, less jarring alarms and ringtones for years and started using the Smiling Mind phone app recently which has been helpful. I was wondering if there are any assistive tools/devices/tips that any other ASD people have found that have had a major impact on their lives that they might like that share?

    Hi all, I got my diagnosis of Asperger’s a couple of years ago after a trip to the mental health ward at age 31. I looked around at the time but a lot of the resources are either technical academic books aimed at psychologists or materials for children or parents. So I put it on the back burner and have just found time to start really diving into studying Autism and how I can better manage life and relationships. I found this community and the “[Field guide to Earthlings](https://pdfcoffee.com/ian-ford-a-field-guide-to-earthlings-an-autistic-asperger-view-of-neurotypical-behavior-pdf-free.html)” book, which I have found really helpful and makes sense of a lot. But I am still looking for more resources for adults with late in life diagnosis’ and coming up dry. Does anyone know of anything that could be helpful/relevant? Looking mostly for coping skills, conflict resolution, emotional regulation stuff. I’m also terrible at social interactions because I’m constantly questioning and analyzing everything. Small talk or just relating to NTs has always been hard because a lot of that they do and are interested in just doesn’t make sense or I have absolutely no interest in. I’m in a rural area and there’s no local resources at all. I’m also not too keen on a lot of Youtube videos because I find the over-the-top noise and crappy characters/personalities/acting that hosts/influencers put on incredibly off putting. But I do like Youtube videos that are done in an informative manner and not for entertainment value. Thanks in advance 🙂

    Who else is excited for the new season? This will be my first new season since starting DRG and I'm pretty keen for some new content. I haven't seen if there will be new assignment missions but I'm hopeful.
