So tired of being called AI for the stuff I put the most effort into

I'm recovering from being blown off for "making AI generated posts" when in actuality I spent 3-12 hours researching, compiling, formatting, and spell checking the post, in order to make it as high-quality and legible as possible. Often this is needed in highly technical discussions like software pull requests and bug reports, and I have to work extra hard as an autistic person to make my words sensible to neurotypicals. It feels so offensive, invalidating, painful, triggering, and miserable to have all that effort and the core idea itself blown off and then have people try and convince me that I'm lying when I say I wrote it myself without machine learning tools. Like it's heartbreaking. I'm so mad.

This is just the most recent example. I was just trying to help improve my favorite digital stim toy (I use ScummVM to play old Humongous Entertainment games from my childhood on my phone to divert meltdown energy.) Seriously, why did they even think it was made by an LLM? like what is it about how I write that makes people think it's LLM output?

Here's my longest special friend, Bunnilda Fluffles!

I'd love to see your stuffed friends or comfort objects as well! I'm having a rough morning and it would make me happy to see more special friends!

3x5 Microfont: A Highly Legible 3x5 Pixel Font With Full ASCII Support (CC0)

So I know there are many, many of these. I also know that many of the characters are the same as other 3x5 fonts (sort of by necessity). But anyway...

I spent a stupid amount of time trying to make the best possible 3x5 pixel font for general use, and I wanted to share it with you all! Hopefully you like it enough to use it!

Features

  • It's a true 3x5 font.
    • There are no descenders or ascenders that go outside the 3x5 footprint.
    • This makes it suitable for use in sprite sheets that have each sprite take up only 3x5 pixels total.
    • It also means lines of text can be drawn closer together!
  • The baselines and midlines of all characters (mostly) match, which drastically improves legibility.
    • This took a LOT of trial and error. I'm still open to feedback.
  • An effort was made to unify the style of all characters, whenever possible.
    • A lot of 3x5 fonts, while often legible, sadly look like a jumbled box of letters from different typefaces. I wanted to make this look like a cohesive font, which actually improved legibility a surprising amount.
  • It supports all 94 printable ASCII characters!
  • It comes in 4 different sprite sheet formats, in addition to proportional and monospaced font files in 3 different formats each!

This is my first time making a font, so please give me feedback! I am still learning what makes typography "look good" and "appear legible", so I may not have considered something.

A-Z Acrostic Sentence w/ All Uppercase & Lowercase Letters

I wanted something fancy to show off my new 3x5 pixel font, and I decided to go with an alphabetic acrostic sentence. However, I wanted to add the extra challenge of including all uppercase AND lowercase characters. The easiest way to do that, I figured, was to capitalize each word, meaning I wanted to write it like a headline.

I made a 3x5 pixel font with full ASCII support!

I have been writing with3x5 characters ever since I learned how to take pixel art notes on my TI-83+ graphing calculator back in school. However, some uppercase characters like Q, many symbols like &, and almost all lowercase letters confounded me at the time. Now, as an adult, one of my projects calls for a highly legible 3x5 font with full ASCII support. I put this one together using my existing glyph drawing methods while looking at many different images online to get ideas for areas that stumped me. I'm pretty happy with the final result!

You can get the sprite sheet here if you want it! The leftmost X coordinate of a character's glyph can be calculated as X = get_ascii_code(character) * 3.

I finally caught an entire PNES clonic-tonic on camera, apparently for me they are literally triggered by dissociative episodes.

After my last clonic-tonic where I was found on the floor with a dislocated shoulder and a head injury (again), my roommates and I decided to invest in a cheap night-vision wifi security camera pointed straight at my bed and floor.

For a month and A half I got nothing (that's normal, I usually have 1-2 a year and that's why it's so hard to catch on a vEEG). Well I had one yesterday. The camera shows the whole process:

- Was working on something on the computer

- Began to dissociate

- Recognized it, got my comfort objects, and got my friend to help comfort and ground me

- Got her back to my bed, and faded into dissociation

- The dissociation cleanly and quickly transitioned into me doing "slow motion fighting", shaking, foaming at the mouth, moving my arm in huge circular motions, etc etc.

- I came to after 3 minutes and 43 seconds of convulsing violently. My shoulder was badly dislocated (again) and the combination of post-ictal fog and my autism made explaining that impossible. I kept passing out from pain and then waking up begging for help.

- 56 minutes later I come too enough to ask for the camera to be unplugged (to make sure the seizure wasn't recorded over)

- About half an hour to an hour later I finally was on the way to the hospital to get my shoulder snapped back into place under sedation.

Watching the video was rough. I've never seen myself like that before. I feel like I pulled every muscle in my body. It took 12 hours to be able to keep water/meds down, and only today did I manage to eat a few spoonfuls of tomato soup.

I am definitely going through intense internal stresses. ASD with severe sensory issues, PTSD that is flaring up again because for reasons I won't go into I now have to confront that period in my life before I can reconnect with another survivor, my half-brother.

Somehow deep down I just didn't believe that my PTSD could literally cause full-blown clonic-tonic seizures. Like I knew it was part of the diagnosis and I guess I believed it was true for everyone but me because, well, that sounds crazy. But the video really doesn't lie.

Has anyone else here seen a recording of themselves having a seizure? How did it make you feel? How did you cope with those feelings, if relevant?

I have no memory of writing this but I think I was onto something.

Found in my Google Drive when searching for something entirely different.

Just so frustrated, it seems impossible to catch a seizure on EEG.

I have a PNES diagnosis, but my neurologist and I have only ever captured focal aware seizures on a video EEG. Based on that, I was given the PNES diagnosis. I agree that my drop seizures and other similar focal aware seizures are non-epileptic in nature and triggered by nervous system overload. (I'm autistic as well so that happens a lot even without trauma stuff.)

However, 1-2 times a year, I will have severe nocturnal clonic-tonic seizures, often involving falling out of bed and hurting my head. 1 week ago I had another one of these and I actually tore my rotator cuff on my left shoulder. There is no rhyme or reason I can tell behind them other than they occur every 5-8 months fairly regularly. I noticed no difference on or off Keppra.

My neurologist and I have done 2 5-day sleep studies trying to catch a clonic-tonic in order to either rule out epilepsy or, if the clonic-tonic ones are epileptic, then to characterize them on EEG. As I said these only captured nonepileptic focal aware seizures, and no loss of consciousness occurred. Insurance only covers 1 5-day test a year.

So now I'm just left uncertain if I need epilepsy treatment or more intensive psychotherapy in order to stop myself from suffering injuries 1-2 times a year in my sleep.

I plan on setting up a security camera to record 24/7 to try and get video data, but sadly my neuro said he didn't have the tech to let me record EEG data every night until I have a seizure.

Would love to hear your thoughts.
