2017-07-19 at 5:59 AM UTC in The Retarded Thread: Click Here for AIDSI uncovered the benefit of the amygdala abnormality in ASD, which I initially overlooked. At first the thought came to me after observing the lightning fast reflexes I repeatedly demonstrated when checking Ash's fur, when she seemed irritated and would turn to give me a warning nibble. I knew this was due to perpetually being in a mild form of the fight-or-flight state, particularly during events perceived as having potential danger, even something as relatively insignificant as this (Perception is key, of course.)
The reason I didn't note this is because it seemed to have no practical use. It does align with some evolutionary theories of the origins of autism, though. In our modern society this simply doesn't have much use or benefit, unless you live in a particularly dangerous area (Just leave, if possible. Don't enter into a lifestyle where you aren't able to. Unless you're doing a report or writing a book, something of that nature.), are a police officer, or in the military, related occupations. In those it could be highly beneficial for certain roles, but I would very strongly advise against them due to the strong predisposition for PTSD, which I forgot to mention and is related to what I wrote here: https://niggasin.space/post/221304
They're simply terrible roles for aspies, for a variety of reasons. Among the worse.
Now, MMA is a very interesting possibility, although if you have the concomitant low muscle tone concomittant with this subtype of aspergers you likely won't do well past a certain point. I wouldn't count on it becoming a profession, ever making it to the professional level. That and it doesn't have much lasting value for society.
I also had the thought that a simple variation of reaction time tests should be studied. Instead of the standard test where there's a response to stimuli requiring extension it should be contraction. For example, a loud noise requires you to release your grip and the time it takes is recorded accurately. If this hasn't already been done, a remarkable median difference would likely be found.
Now, as to the benefit, it's simply that being in a constantly primed state, a mild state of hyperarousal (Another term for fight-or-flight, also called the acute stress response), has cognitive benefits. Your mind is constantly active, awake, in "go" mode. There are well extablished benefits to performance of being mildly anxious.
Now, of course there are powerful detrimental aspects, other than the various life impacts stemming from anxiety, fear, and apprehension. The social impact, even impact on life decisions (risk aversion). Primarily I refer to the fact that this persistent state is unnatural, the human body was not designed, did not evolve, to endure it. Long term chronic stress has well established negative effects, on the body, mind/mental state/well being, and brain. Very likely a principle reason for the disparity in life expectancy, along with negative health events and conditions, particularly in late age, relative to the median life expectancy. I would recommend that regular breaks be taken. Currently Nardil is my standard recommended baseline medication for aspies, at least the ones that suffer from depression and anxiety. Other than that, due to them being the foremost treatment available, despite the disadvantages, I would simply recommend utilizing benzodiazepines for regular breaks. Once every month for 5 consecutive days, a week, or so, would likely be fine. T-PAIN as well due to preventing many of the key neurological alterations induced by long term chronic stress.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2017-07-18 at 11:23 PM UTC in The Retarded Thread: Click Here for AIDSOh, little guy seems to be notably more at ease near me, is willing to be closer. I thought I may have reached the limit of how comfortable she would feel around me due to being born feral and unsocialized with humans during the critical period. Her eyes are distinctly friendlier.
She even went inside after I called her closer, left the door open, and went out of view to fill the food bowl. She hasn't done that since months ago when she was small and went about 12 feet in past the corner of the bathroom and we were both startled when we spotted each other simultaneously.
Another thought on the glasses. With far less sensory information being processed these should also greatly increase cognitive endurance, reduce the amount of metabolic byproducts created that need to be removed during sleep.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Of course! But information, what you build in your mind, can have far richer complexity! It's beauty, something unique in the world. It enthralls and evokes the imagination, the desire to reach ever further. Of course I don't deny that interpersonal relationships can have these qualities in a different form.
Although, with regard to complexity, even that isn't necessarily true. Of course there are simple pleasures in life. Just look at some Buddhists. Well, I certainly wouldn't say they're simple, far from it, what was required to attain that state is incredibly complex and requires immense effort, but the "resting" state can have a simple but profound beauty and peace to it.

2017-07-18 at 10:07 PM UTC in The Retarded Thread: Click Here for AIDSI've noticed that the sunglasses I bought to modify in order to limit my peripheral vision for reading make me much calmer. It's probably due to visual hypersensitivity, how intense the world is, the amount of data I take in, and being in a permanent state of high awareness (flight or fight), which causes my abnormal peripheral vision to have a higher level of fixation, as if something dangerous may come into view.
It is the other key hypersensitivity I have which causes a high level of discomfort and anxiety, along with auditory. Makes sense.
Heh, the combo of these glasses and earmuffs produces a pretty distinct look, somewhat reminiscent of a mad scientist. I swear I'm going to keep printouts of what the muffs and glasses are for in case anyone ever asks in school; a concise overview at top followed by a more extensive explanation on the bottom. Now I just need a white lab coat.
Looking in a mirror, it seems pretty ridiculous that this is what it takes to replicate a neurotypical experience. *shrugs* Doesn't really bother me, and there is the childish egotistical aspect of making me feel cool and unique. At least when properly honed neurologically abnormal aspie brain can have immense advantages.

2017-07-18 at 9:54 PM UTC in The Retarded Thread: Click Here for AIDSFun autism facts:
Due to the asymmetrical hypertrophy (I would very much like to know whether there are differences in cellular density, but there likely isn't information available) and hyperactivity of the right hemisphere of the amygdala, primarily involved in processing negative emotions, along with related factors, primarily the hyper-glutamatergia, which increases general neurological activity, and GABAergic deficit, causing insufficient inhibition and anxiety,
Negative emotions can actually be (There's always variance, particularly with aspergers.) greatly amplified. I genuinely did not realize until within the last few years, due to an increase in empathy, emotional fixation, and reflection/introspection on my past.
The differences in long-term memory, retention, fidelity, and detail, along with the OCD thought patterns, the fixation on thoughts, which can occur at a considerably faster rate and frequency, longer total extent, than normal, simply cements this, it positively modulates the storage of these events, and increases the effect, which is almost always detrimental, even traumatic.
This is of key importance for people with ASD, particularly highly anxious subtypes, to understand. PoC most strongly displays this behavior. After this realization and understanding something I worked toward ingraining, changing about myself, and still do to this day, was to consistently remind myself that my negative emotions were greatly amplified, my response to any negative social event in particular, and that I had to stop ruminating on it. When changing my view from a personal to an impersonal one, viewed from a higher vantage point, it became clear how petty these events truly were, that the other person did not ascribe nearly as much significance, and that afterward they would simply and rapidly move on with their day, not even devoting much thought to what had occurred.
Understanding and accepting how incredibly damaging your natural behavior, this process, is.
- A greater affinity for animals is commonly reported among aspies. There are various reasons why this could be, such as the social aspects that alter your response toward human beings, or feeling some similarities with animals, the lack of verbal communication required, how the relationships are simpler and more forthright.
It's also possible that we may have innate advantages. The bottom up hyper-systemizing cognitive style with far less regard for conventions leading to creating your own natural internal system for animals and their behavior, an understanding of them. There's also the sensory hyper-sensitivity and level of awareness and how it can help read them.
I've experienced the exact same thing throughout my life.
When people meet/see someone they feel positively towards, who is in proximity, a natural reaction is for their eyebrows to rise (body language). Yesterday or the day before I noticed that I automatically and involuntarily did this when I saw Ash and Bella for the first time that day. I can't recall ever having done this with a human. Kind of funny that the first time I displayed this standard human body language, naturally reserved only for our own species, was with cats. They are the animal I feel the highest affinity towards and enjoy the company of most. Nearly, other than perhaps natural scenery, the only thing that brings me closest to a positive response, even a slight smile (I am definitely not very expressive, at all.), when I'm outside. They always catch my attention and I try to make friends with them if they seem calm enough, socialized, or at least call out to them. Smiling, exchanging pleasantries, conversation, attempts at friendship.
Cats are my people.

Originally posted by hydromorphone I have something like this… I can go back and recall a moment in time with crystal clarity… sometimes that's not a god thing. I'll break down in tears randomly, either from missing person/animal/moment, even if it would be considered to me a happy memory… I've lost a lot that I love in my 28 years of life.
Psilocybin has helped me reach out, and during a particularly high dose, before my father died, but after my horse, whom in every way I would consider my "first child", and well… I got to be with him on the moon for a few hours. Not so much "be" with him, it's hard to explain… but I felt him and touched his soul through the cosmos once again… We're destined for now to have our paths split, but one day… sometime… down the river of life, of being, living and dying- I will find him again. Our souls are magnets, attracted to one another, ever pulling, despite the vastness of the universe dividing us apart. Death isn't the end, it's just a break point to something else, to revolve back around in this ever spinning wheel we know as life and death.
I have this one memory that I remember with absolute clarity, which I often recall… and it takes me back, takes me back to being on my boy's back, and him thundering across a wide open field covered with every beautiful shade of pink, red, yellow, and blue in wild flowers, I could feel the strength of him shaking the earth under us, his power, and our bodies feeling as though they just became one being. I'd closed my eyes, and savored everything, every smell, every sound, the touch of my hands clutching his mane, his strong, soft neck arched… the wind blowing through my hair, the smell of both of our bodies pouring sweat, the salt taste in my mouth from our sweat.
Getting to spend a few hours on the moon with a loved one who passed sounds like an incredible trip.
Lol, I didn't know who you were talking about in the third paragraph. At first I thought you may have worded it improperly and it was a childhood memory of you riding on someone's back, likely your father. Then I thought it was an incredibly cliche moment you'd had with a boyfriend or your ex-husband, something straight out of a women's romance novel.
Finally I realized it was a horse and that you calling him "my boy" threw me off just like the time you recently referred to your dogs as your family.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2017-07-18 at 3:11 PM UTC in The Retarded Thread: Click Here for AIDSThe optimal level of happiness. Diminishing returns to attempts to increase net well-being in life based on research related to the hedonic treadmill and the costs.
Ultimately you can reduce happiness, as with many other things, as being similar to a multivitamin. Something necessary for proper biological function. Certainly it can be excessive, merely ponder mania, or thought experiments involving wire heads.
Then an argument against seeking happiness primarily based on my interpretation of original Buddhist ideology as well as the heavy detrimental effects and costs involved as well as the inverse, the benefits gained. Abandon your desire for happiness, abandon happiness itself. An explanation for why my goal in life is not to be happy, to be as happy as possible, and why I consider this to be an exceedingly crude goal.
"Why don't you care about happiness (as others do)?"
"Evoking emotional states is not my goal in life."The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

No, really, look up some non-mystical Buddhist techniques. Shit works if you truly understand it, make a serious effort that isn't hampered by doubt, and stick with it.
I used to be persistently ornery and angry as fuck, mainly at the irredeemable and eternal relentless stupidity of the world, of mankind and individuals in particular. Now it's nearly all gone, I managed to work through it, even though it took a large amount of time and effort.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

No, it’s the truth. Someone has to have the traits required to defy social conventions and voice it.
Kinkou is bound to be afflicted by multiple powerful cognitive biases, particularly as a woman, although being an aspie can strongly negate this.
She should be basing her perception and behavior/choices on what is best supported by the evidence.

Lanny, let me put it this way: Being white has benefits. Do you honestly believe that, non-aesthetic factors aside, your life would have turned out satisfying equivalent of you had been born Hispanic?
(Oh, you’re going to love this as a leftist.)
There’s such a large amount of evidence for how physical attractiveness effects life outcomes. The perception, treatment, general positive behavior, from others.
On that note, I did notice some oddly positive reactions from people when I was high, earlier after I first began. It’s because my standard extremely negative countenance/demeanor was alleviated, I seemed approachable and far friendlier. Even the milf aged Russian lady at the front desk of the gym (Bound to regularly get hit on by many testosterone filled men of a higher median quality) took an interest in me as soon as she saw me, which had never occurred before (Normally one of the least approachable people you could ever meet. (Undisguised and not on drugs.))
And how is anything I said on this topic racist?
Now that my depression alleviated and Nardil produced other beneficial effects, which began the process of unlocking the full extent of my aspie powers, I’ve been noticing how young and dense you can be.
Chowdehead.
