@StrassenKatze @actuallyautistic Has anyone else ever been accused of being self absorbed when you try to relate a persons situation with one you have experienced? I have lost friends for this because they say I always try to make the situation about myself. I'm only trying to connect our experiences! Needless to say, I'm always conscious of whether I am doing it.

@autism101 @actuallyautistic don't forget Dyscalculia! Everyone seems to forget about it.

@CynAq @autism101 @actuallyautistic Yeah, it's pretty awful having it. It's impacted my career greatly as I am always having to avoid anything at all connected to accounting or budgeting (as a Project Manager, this can be challenging). Even with most basic math, I need a calculator.

@robinsyl @CynAq @autism101 @actuallyautistic LOL, yeah, that couldn't be further from the truth in my case :)

@Autistrain @autism101 @actuallyautistic Yeah, I must have things in my calendar or on my Kanban (or both). The funny thing is, that until I started working in corporate IT Environments, I didn't have many coping strategies. This is the only compliment of the corporate world you will ever hear from me, but it did make more more organized

@ILikeYarnALot @autism101 @actuallyautistic glad you find it useful. For anyone interested, the font is "glacial indifference" It's very legible for me so I use it all of the time.

@RavenLuni @autism101 @actuallyautistic lol. Yeah I have quite a few on the neurodevelopmental disorders slice + raging anxiety :)

@Susan60 @CynAq @autism101 @actuallyautistic I think the worst part is that when I was growing up, people automatically thought I was dumb because I was so bad at math. In my career, I just learned to avoid the need to use it. Without a doubt though, I'm far behind my peers in terms of opportunities and advancement.

@brainpilgrim @ILikeYarnALot @autism101 @actuallyautistic these are just other issues that people with ASD often have in addition to the ASD. It's doesn't mean that everyone with ASD has all of these. My comorbities are mostly the neurodevelopmental issues with Anxiety (likely as a result of the others issues).

@brainpilgrim @ILikeYarnALot @autism101 @actuallyautistic oh sorry, I'm getting confused by the mastodon threads. I keep getting the topics mixed up.

@homelessjun @autism101 @actuallyautistic I'm not sure. I just used the list from the original mindmap. I'm not too familiar with immune disorders.
