    What games are you looking out for next year?

    I’m waiting for Dragon Quest XI to get released in the US sometime next year.

    Toxic relationships at work

    Yeah, I just try to go about my business and not visibly react to things. But of course, there are good and bad days. Monday and Tuesday seem to be the worst, but by later in the week I tend to have a little more self-confidence. Having a bigger project to focus on instead of the usual...

    Toxic relationships at work

    There are some people I work with where the relationship has just become completely toxic. Being an Aspie I naturally gravitate towards “nice” people, and tend to shut out people who’ve “wronged” me in my mind - usually I give people the silent treatment - it’s just how I’ve learned to deal with...

    What subtype of autistic are you?

    I got 50% Passive, 40% Stilted and 10% Active but Odd. Kinda surprised me, as I thought I’d have higher active but odd and lower stilted percentages, though the passive description really does describe me well. Probably because once I was labeled “gifted and talented” as a child I wore it like...

    Complete lack of emotional response

    That could be it, but he passed on Tuesday. Maybe I’ve just been in the industry too long and I’m desensitized, I don’t know.

    Complete lack of emotional response

    The guy who lived across the street from my parents house just died earlier this week. He was a decent guy, always pretty nice. My mom mentioned his state of severe deterioration the night before it happened, and the day of she texted me about it, and my dad asked me if I had heard. From the...

    Darkness

    I prefer darkness to light, but it’s more that I’d rather be in a basement. Me and my siblings would play together downstairs, and after we got a Nintendo that’s where I spent most of my time. As an adult, I basically have a “basement apartment” in my home. My wife has fibromyalgia, and I snore...

    Does any one have tools for getting to sleep?

    I’ve been self-medicating with THC since I was 18 mostly just to get to sleep. Sometimes I can sleep without it, but my brain usually just won’t shut up.

    Do you play video games?

    I’ve been a gamer since we got a NES back at Xmas ‘87. It was my first ‘obsession’ in life and continues to this day. I play mostly Final Fantasy games nowadays but dove head first into Rock Band when it was new and spent a good 4 years (and thousands of dollars) on it.

    Maps

    I’ve always loved maps. In fact, one of my first memories is of me falling down the stairs after successfully completing a US map puzzle at age 3. I especially liked US History because of seeing the way territories changed over time into their eventual states. I could look at maps all day and be...

    Hey

    Hi, I’m Eric. My son was just diagnosed with “educational autism” at a screening for 4K. After looking at some AS traits, I realized that I’m a high functioning Aspie. Now my life makes sense.
