My spouse is NT, which has been great as we complement each other.

Most of my friends are on the spectrum though, because we have a similar range of interests and tolerance for social interaction.

Huh. I can’t find a single book on here of the last 100 i have read. Is this all just self-help books or something?

New characters are resources too. The word doesn’t have to be limited to spendable currencies like “lumber and gems”.

I wear my normal earbuds but just don’t turn them on. Blocks out enough of the high pitches but I can still hear what’s going on.

I get along with Autistics better, but mainly because we cope with social situations in a similar way.

In my case, we play a lot of board games and video games. We can socialize without requiring smalltalk or eye contact. If there is no such activity planned, we don’t get together, and nobody is offended.

This is really cool! My teach is usually a very similar order to what you list, but its nice to have something like this written down. I will probably steal this.

For the Woodland Alliance, I usually deacribe them as “playing Pandemic, as the disease”. You are spreading around everywhere, and can pop up suddenly to devastate someone’s clearing if they aren’t keeping you in check.

Yup… This is why I went into engineering.

This art stuff is too far beyond my simple brain.

For sci-fi, one I haven’t seen mentioned here yet is Red Rising.

Kind of an Enders Game meets Hunger Games in the first book, but quickly expands into a solar-system wide war with lots of intrigue, star-wars-like tech, and amazing characters.

Tetris doesn’t really have an end. It just keeps going. So this is a very specific crash where if you get far enough into the game, it can’t keep up with the player any more. You “beat” Tetris by playing so well you make the game break.

This is similar to getting pacman to crash by beating level 255 at which point incrementing the level goes past what can be stored and the data gets corrupted.
