Now I understand why I work the way I do (well, I’m starting to) so now I need to figure out how to do the things I need to do working with my condition and not against it.

That's something that's worthwhile for anyone and everyone. It may be uncomfortable at times, in my instance I found this; https://www.idrlabs.com/infj.php

Well it worked for me you cunt

:D

That seems a saying worth trying to crowbar in to any conversation.

I haven't managed to yet, but after my predilection for profanity was pounced upon in group I was asked when it started and what people what thought of it;


I remember the school contacting my mother about me saying a c word.

What did she say about it?

She said "It's not clever is it?"

and what did you say?

"No. No, it's cunt."

After reading Matthew Walkers book, making a few little changes like changing my phone screen colour, tablet or phone off 2 hours before bed my sleep improved a lot, I was up to around 6 hours in-interrupted sleep.
Now I’ve spent the last 3 weeks taking 300mg of Magnesium a day, I’m sleeping 8 hours a night and haven’t felt better. The last time I slept this well consistently was when my balls were dropping and I had a centre parting :lol:

Phone and tablet use were a game changer for me and everything is easier with a bit more sleep.

Watched Alistair Cambell program the other night. Was quite interesting. Anyone see it?

My initial thoughts was he needs to avoid drinking.

There is a serious point behind it; part of the reason I've been referred is my use of language, but more the assumption that I speak like that in any and every situation and am therefore socially inappropriate, something that can be an aspect of being on the spectrum and has been interpreted thus. Cunt is considered by many to be the harshest of the four letter words and the one that shouldn't be used in front of women, yet I was the only male in the room and all the women laughed (some guiltily. I wonder if their sense of guilt made them find it more or less funny? Something else to look into.). Anyhow, enough of that, my typing skills are poor and this too much like hard work.


This evening I have mostly been watching;

Ironically of course the one and only thing that you can do when you feel you're on the wrong path is accept that it doesn't matter and give up.

An interesting confusion of words. For anything more atm I could do with a thought-to-text converter.

This could have gone here or in the home haircuts thread; because I'm foocked in the head (technical term) I end up twiddling, fiddling, playing with and pulling hair, with the unsurprising result some comes out. Somehow I manage to stay away from my scalp but I'm now at the point I'm going to have to pretty much debeard (Mrs.) to sort it out. Wet weather seems to trigger it, why I don't know, and I never seem to notice when I start doing it. That's it for the full-on Castaway look - which was going well, especially after last time - with me pished at me, generally disappointed, and feeling like an idiot. I'm mostly annoyed it's got me thinking again. Aaanyway; meh. :roll:

It could be worse. Beards grow back. Some people have stimming activities that cause permanent scars.

I take what you're saying in the way it's intended; seeing people cut themselves in new places because they don't feel it when they cut scarred tissue isn't nice, both from the selfish pov of feeling powerless and failure because you couldn't stop, and because of the pain and anguish they must be suffering that self harming is preferable. I'm not sure my actions come from the same place but I want to be able to stop in case they do (are?) and will lead onto other things. I hope everyone's doing ok.
