I had a sort of epiphany today.

The life review is supposedly us seeing how all our actions affected other people, through their eyes. Usually, from how it’s reported, people see only their negative actions or bad karma.

If you think about it, there are a billion ways we can unintentionally hurt people’s feelings everyday. If we are subjected to the some total of this instantly, it would be overwhelming and at that point, good night Irene. We’re toast. We are coming right back here.

I wonder if it’s built into the system that we aren’t shown our good deeds in the life review, only the things we did to hurt others.

How do you stay regulated? It’s been hard as (fill-in-blank) for me.

For me, it’s the “blind leading the blind” and I mean no ableism with that phrase. By the time I give the energy I do to help my parent, my executive functioning goes down, I lose all sense of perspective, and become burnt out. It’s essentially two disabled people.

This is just a role reversal I am not used to. This parent has been the strong one for me. And now, they don’t want to do the things they need to do, like following the doctor’s orders on getting a brain MRI and cognitive testing.

Any advice would be appreciated. I feel like this is a subject that doesn’t get talked about a lot: The overlap between an adult autistic and their relationship with a parent who has dementia.

This may have been covered previously. If so, I apologize.

She has basically said recently that there is no “spectrum” even though she is the one who popularized the concept. That only the profoundly autistic are autistic and the rest of us just have depression, anxiety, whatever. She’s put forth a paper and given interviews.

Given her influence, how much damage could her statements have for all of us?

I am sure this question has been asked before. So I apologize in advance

Are domestic pets tricked into coming here?

Going further down the ladder, what about cattle? Or insects? Of course, animals all suffer and thus would presumably give off a lot of loosh, but what indoctrination process would they face by the archons if their decision making ability or intellect is compromised in the first place?

The idea of a Prison Planet feels true to me on every level, but I am trying to see how it would apply to animals.

I was a contestant in 1997. When I was in contestants' row, I glanced stage left and saw the list of games that were being played that day. So I knew which game I was going to play before I got on stage.

Because I haven't been to a taping since then, I'm curious if they are still doing that. I think they did this so Bob could keep track of where he had to be on stage, but I wonder if Drew uses a different system in the new studio.

As so many people are experiencing being ditched by their doctor for their opportunity to go the concierge route, so is the situation I find myself.

Do any of you recommend a UH primary care physician who would do well with an autistic adult? Also, many do not take new patients, so please only recommend if you know they are taking new patients. Any doctors on the east side would be optimal.

Many thanks!

This week I got my days mixed up and accidentally put my garbage out the day before. It sat out for a few hours before I realized it and immediately took it right back in.

A few days later, today, I got my first warning. I guess it had to happen. I can’t believe people do not have better things to do with their time. Who would purposefully put their garbage out on the wrong day just to be annoying?

When entering the hotel, it appeared that several groups of men tried to hand me some pamphlets. I told them not to bother other residents with the same thing they were doing to me, and they got very angry.

Has this ever happened to anyone?

I realize no one can provide a professional diagnosis based on a brief description. But I think my dad may be suffering from the early stages of dementia, though I don't know if it is that or MCI. He went to a neurologist and scored a 21 out of 30 on the SLUMS test, which is not great (he scored that exact same on the test twice on two different occasions). His memory for names is gone; he has trouble staying awake and has some issues with his balance, although Parkinson's was ruled out. He still drives and seems to be at his best in social settings and when he feels he has to be at his best (not around my mother or me), but he really does have a lousy memory. He has delegated bill paying to my mother, although he still manages daily affairs. It's the fact that he manages daily affairs that makes me think it hasn't yet progressed to dementia, but I really don't know.

I have been trying to urge him to get evaluated to see if he could get something prescribed that could slow down the progression, but he insists he's fine. Can a person have dementia and still manage to take care of themselves even if they score pretty badly on cognitive tests and have terrible short-term memories? Or does this sound more like MCI?

Is this just my imagination, or does anyone else have this experience?

I feel like 480 can feel like driving on the autobahn (if you are going 60, you will be ridden off the road by other drivers), but drivers on 271 (especially between 480 and I-90) seem much more mild-mannered. If other people perceive this, I wonder why that's the case.

Would you all recommend K’s notebook as the crutch of his teachings? All of his speeches (which are in the form of books) are Socratic and throw the questions back at the reader. K’s notebook is more direct because he was journaling when he wrote it. Is this text the best way to understand what K wanted us to know?

Do the archons only manufacture loosh at the global level through war, famine, politics, economic hardship, etc… and this is their sustenance? Or do they also keep tabs on all 6 billion of us to get loosh out of us all? I mean, when those negative synchronicities occur (as they do for all of us), is that the archons messing with all of us to generate loosh (Ala The Truman Show) or do the archons not have the processing power, so to speak, to do this to every person on planet earth?

I am not questioning their diagnosis. If they say they are autistic, I fully believe them. So let’s start right there.

That said, many of the autistic content creators on TikTok and YouTube seem neurotypical to me. I realize many of them have scripts they use and have had time to hone their craft, but even sometimes when they go live, they seem very comfortable “socializing”, for lack of a better term, with their viewers. There’s a disconnect between the autistic people I know and autistic content creators.

Certain autistic content creators have been really helpful to me. I have learned a lot from them, and they have given me a better understanding of my own autism. But I am curious why, at least to me, they can all pass as NT. Do they just mask better than most of us?

Can anyone be kind enough to tell me how long this lasts? Heat and food don’t bother it, just cold. Cold zaps for like 5-10 seconds after exposure to cold substances. It’s been 3 days since I had the permanent replace the temporary crown and this is still happening. I don’t want to bug my dentist if this is normal.

Thank you! Appreciate you all!

Does anyone do this because home delivery is so bad that you are willing to pay more for a 30 day supply rather than get a 90 day? There’s something to be said about the convenience of having your prescription in your hand that day, and not talking with endless express scripts agents who can never help you.

On the other hand, it does eat a hole in the budget.

So curious what choices people make.

What is the way to do it? Wait till next enrollment cycle and hope there is another plan that offers retail fills

So many people have said:..”I just gave up and left them”. Like, how? Especially if the insurance company forces you to stay. Do some of you pay out of pocket with things like GoodRx after your 3rd fill?

Is there any workaround? Sincere questions from a struggling guy.
