@dgoldsmith removing autism genes from the population is a great way to slow down technological and scientific progress (the tech heartland of the Netherlands has 3 to 4 times as many child autism diagnosis’ compared to the rest of the country), as well as removing the sort of people who point out problems with the status quo (and the tenacity to never stop). https://www.ad.nl/binnenland/meer-autisme-in-slimste-regio-eindhoven~a15ed877/

I expect you are right & I hope you get a chance to recharge fully.
I don't know for sure but I strongly suspect that an NT person would be confused that you can
1) be exhausted to the point of dysfunction but simultaneously
2) be carefully engaging in meta-cognitive observation and analysis to understand and catalogue your state of mind.
[But I don't find this odd at all.]
@ahrimans_erbe@magador@RosethornRangerTTV@actuallyautistic i am finding out that modern LED lighting also blinks or flickers as it ages.
also that even new modern LEDs on AC power have a flicker problem. it seems to be due to use of the cheapest possible power supplies.
i am switching to straight up dc powered lighting as soon as i can.
mobile/rv lighting is moving from incandescent to LED fairly quickly lately. unfortunately it is still mostly garbage.
@cm Der Deutschlandfunk hat heute Morgen klar gesagt, dass kein Angriff bestätigt sei und überhaupt ziemlich unklar, was da nun passiert ist. Das schien mir ganz in Ordnung.
Aber das ist eben auch der Deutschlandfunk.

@jyrgenn tagesschau hat gestern recht früh diese non-story berichtet, und der ORF auch. ORF hat auch gerade eine "aus dem krankenhaus draussen"-geschichte.
was hängen bleibt, sind die überschriften... kotzt mich an, grad bei einer partei, aus der schon mehrfach erfundene angriffe gemeldet wurden.

Hmm, maybe it was a bit confusing comparisson?

My autistic interpretation/head canon for lyrics: Somewhat related to autistic trauma and unexpected link to addiction, specifically substance abuse.
nazi: muss ins krankenhaus, erzählt was von angriff.
polizei: bestätigt keinen angriff.
medien: berichten unablässig über die geschichte aus der perspektive des nazis. auch im ausland.

The good thing with high pitched sounds is that nature solves this while getting older.
For lights there was this early period of LED lights that were slightly stroboscopic. You could notice as soon something was moving.
And early cheap projectors with a rotary wheel. When you moved your head you could notice the white light falling appart in the rgb.
Concentration simply gone.

A reminder that the problems at this year's Grace Hopper Conference were caused by cis men, not trans women.
De plus j'ai pu rassurer, il y a quelques jours, la victime, qui croyait que le chien serait euthanasié parce qu'il l'avait mordu, et que c'était la procédure.
Il avait certainement un important sentiment de culpabilité, se sentant aussi responsable de la morsure, pour avoir mal "géré" le chien.
L'évaluation comportementale a pour objectif de décortiquer l'agression pour donner un niveau de risque et des préconisations pour contrôler ce risque.
Et non ce n'etait pas "sa faute".
@boulesdefourrure Et voila ! Plus un poulet ne se fera soigner chez toi !
@actuallyautistic so is this what a shutdown feels like? I'm exhausted after work, always previously said I was "tired". But importantly, I am feeling disconnected with myself, my inner monologue has all but stopped and I need to do the language equivalent of changing down two gears to make words. I can do the task in front of me but can't prioritise, engage higher brain function, or compare two tasks.
It occurs to me that this may not be how NTs experience "tired after a long day/week".

@ buddhabound @ RosethornRangerTTV To be clear for others: it's not all lights, but certain types of lights and equipment.
Flourescents are notorious for this because they don't operate on a constant current, they flicker and hum at very very high rates. But they very often have just enough inconsistency to put it into the edge of human perception... if you're brain is good at filtering sensory input, you'll brush it off and have to concentrate hard to notice it... if your brain is bad at it, then it'll be a constant torment.
Incandescent bulbs don't have this problem because they're constant.
LEDs only have these problems in especially cheap or faulty models, and it's a separate problem between hum and flicker. They run on DC power, so the light itself isn't particularly bad, but a cheap DC converter can cause a hum (many of us will notice this from cheap phone chargers as well). As far as flickering, this only happens in cheap dimmables when not operating on full brightness, and this is because the cheap dimmables dim by using Pulse Width Modulation (they dim by literally flickering and changing the rate of the flicker to make it brighter or darker).
A proper, in depth, documented dive into articifial intelligence as seen by those who shape it. Proper story by @TheAtlantic, and #LongRead really worth your attention.

Fijn dat ze deze keer Chantal Rovers hebben gesproken bij de Gelderlander.
Geen paniek, maar houdt er wel rekening mee dat Corona veel besmettelijker is dan griep en vaker tot ziekenhuisopname en langdurige klachten kan leiden.
Ventileren is belangrijk (en als we eens die mondkapjes konden accepteren, dan zou dat helemaal mooi zijn).
Ook wordt genoemd dat bij klachten het een paar dagen kan duren voordat de test reageert.
@RosethornRangerTTV
Thank you for reminding me of the sound of fluorescent lighting overhead (and now I've done the same to you).
Thanks. I hate it.
For those of you that can shop, work in an office, go to pretty much any institutional building in the US without feeling like your skin is being flayed off... trust me when I say, "Yes. The lights do make sounds."
We do understand the #globalwarming caused by fossil fuels - for four decades it’s been going as predicted.
But we don’t understand the surprise upward leap that is happening now.
And that worries me.
@RosethornRangerTTV One thing that makes it impossible for me to stay in a room is when the fluorescent light is near the end of its life and begins slightly flickering
It hurts my brain 😭
