I added a new article to the UFO - Life Advice to Younger Autistics, Part 1, the first in a two part series of things that I wish someone had told me at a younger age. The second part will be done hopefully by the end of this weekend. I also added a new category in the Autism section as I have tentative plans to make more autism-related advice articles directed at various situations and groups in the future.

all of your autistic writings are so awesome, i feel you're taking tomes of information and condensing it for the rest of us so we can understand ourselves better. thank you!

Thank you so much, @FragmentandReflect! You give me too much credit. It's just reading of personal anecdotes and formal research, coupled with excessive rumination. I lived for a quarter century without any words for any of the phenomena that ruled my life, and would've still been in the same proverbial cave, if it wasn't for encountering the wisdom of the autistic community, which started this journey.

Another thought-provoking piece Koshka. Ideally there would be no stigma and no sense of "us and them" but rather a mindful and considerate awareness of differences in all.

The upcoming article that I was working on was getting a tad too long even by my standards, and I was worried about people avoiding it like the Personality Disorders due to the sheer length. As such, I wound up cutting out the part about autistic inertia, and turning that into its own article, which is now up on the Autism section. I also added a new Affiliate to the Portal/Dock. Enjoy!

It's very important for me to have the opportunity and freedom to immerse myself in a project - I came away from college feeling frustrated that there were things I wanted to pursue further but the curriculum insisted we move on to the next topic. “We can come back to that later” hardly ever works, especially with something creative; I can schedule it in on paper, I’ll turn up for class, but my brain probably wont!

The part about the mental effort and the handgrip device was surprising but relatable and I like that you use this unseen effort to discount laziness. I too have found that building routines works to get/keep me on track; it is also important to recognise and address unhelpful ones (like sitting at the computer first thing). I try to avoid thinking about if I feel motivated.

P.S. On https://koshka.love/autism/index.html you have 2021 instead of 2022 for this page ;-)

Thank you very much, @holeinmyheart! I'm glad you liked the examples! The alliteration was a happy accident, and I honestly didn't even notice it until I read your comment. Ɑ:

@bmh Thank you for catching that error! I relate to your struggles a lot. Western education systems are awful for a lot of people (autistic/introverted especially), and I wish I had the words for all of these things back when I was in college/grade school, instead of spending years struggling despite being told that I was intelligent.

Sitting down at the computer first thing in the morning is definitely a recipe for disaster. It's just unfortunate how much of what we do is now utterly reliant on the computer in this day and age. There are ways to address this (physical books for reading, MP3 players for music, and so on) but they can only do so much...

Did a minor update to the "'Odd' Autistic Behaviours and Why We Do Them" article, explaining why autistic people tend to inexplicably change the subject to ourselves during conversations so often. I am working on a MAJOR autism-related article that I hope to be done with soon, and it occurred to me that with all of the personal anecdotes littering it, I should make a note clarifying this tendency beforehand.

Thank you so much, @vencake! I seriously appreciate that you are open-minded enough to want to hear from actually autistic adults such as myself! There is so much misinformation out there because of how the mainstream narrative around autism is dominated by non-autistic people, so hearing you say that, especially considering your profession, makes my heart sing. (:
