There are no specific symptoms, it’s too complex. There are things that often occur, but for some people the opposite might be true and they are still autistic.
The best to learn more is to read as much as you can and make sure what you read is good quality, as there’s a lot of bullshit out there when it comes ro autism.
Try stimulant meds + caffeine and you’ll find out :)
Caffeine without stimulants will do something similar to only stimulants, but combined those have an effect much like what a neurotypical person would experience using only caffeine.
Also, please don’t say “have autism”, that’s painful to read. People might be autistic, but they don’t “have” it.
Another thing to avoid: “person with autism” (It is: autistic person)
I definitely am like that and definitely am autistic.
Did you know autistics not only often struggle to talk to new people, but can also have friends… unlike what many people claim?
To me this sounds like AuDHD, but this is obviously far from a diagnosis and I’m not a professional, I merely have read so much that I sometimes know better (lol)
Jokes aside, try this: https://rdos.net/eng/Aspie-quiz.php
It’s so far the only online test that gets somewhat close to what a diagnosis would probably say and I’ve asked diagnosticians and they said it’s useful to get a first idea whether to seek a diagnosis, as this mostly looks the same as their questionnaires. Don’t forget to save the PDF with the full results at the end or you will have to do it again.
Yes, it works well. I just wish I could see what talks aren’t recorded, as I’m primarily interested in those. :/
What’s it doing that’s so helpful?
Linux community, post about an OpenBSD review… On DistroWatch, not DerivativeWatch (lol)
No, it’s fun, I’m just amused. :D
If Google decides to, it can remove anything from AOSP, as it has done countless of times. Android is deeply controlled by Google.
Does that use pipewire-pulse while you are using pipewire? That occasionally has weird issues.
Try launching Pavucontrol and see if it has similar issues.
XMPP server would be another idea, those will happily run on anything and barely require resources.
A tiling windows manager with workspaces IS a switcher.
Sway. Windows manager, switcher… all that. Fully keyboard controlled. You can change any key combination you don’t like. :)
Just because the linked site does mention it does not mean it is not worth pointing out.
Yes, but just because SMART does not complain does not mean the drive has issues. If it does, it means there are issues. That should be kept in mind.
I really like GNOME, but I’m so used to my Sway/i3 keybindings I’ve been using for nine years without any change… I just cannot switch. I’d also miss tiling.
Meanwhile, the two things I dislike with Sway:
But I use a lot of GNOME software, especially on my phone. :D
Several different operating systems, such as FreeBSD, NetBSD, DragonflyBSD (the latter one having a live system and being the easiest to try out). Those have their history based in BSD. But thatʼs all bit too much to fit in s reply here.
Unlike Linux distributions, those projects develop a kernel and the other parts together and make an OS.
Most software will be available on BSDs and on Linux distributions.
Just that. Also, most research I’ve seen claim no difference to be found, but surely that also depends and neurotype and several other things, so it might still be helpful for some groups.
Testing does not have dedicated security work and issues could be unsolved for a couple more days. You can use testing, of course, but read Debian security advisories. Upgrade packages from Unstable if there’s something critical and do not wait days for a fix.
Depending on your country it can sometimes take years to get an appointment, so you might have to ask several places and be patient. That’s why many people educate themselves and self-diagnose before they finally get an official diagnosis. Which makes sense, as it is mostly about understanding yourself better and not much else, so there’s little risk something could go wrong there, lol.
