I am now on call for a week. I call it going under or the upside down because the entire week becomes a weird time warp.

This is a daily post for “casual” conversation. If you want to post or talk about something non autism related this is where to do it. For example if you want to info dump about your special interest but it doesn’t fall into “autism related” then you can post it here in the comments. All other rules are still active, be respectful to each other.

Hey! I'm new to this community and just wanted to say hi! :)

I have pretty much no clue what to expect here. I just find it cool to see other weirdos like myself, but with other interests, struggles and brains.

How often do those threads get posted? Weekly?

Just to start a conversation, a random thought I had today: How do you think would have neurodivergence shaped human society in the ages of hunters and gatherers?

What unique thing, that annoys you, like sensory overloads or pain tolerance, would have been an absolute gamechanger and huge advantage, when we didn't have shopping malls and Tinder, but wild berries and a camp fire?

Hey welcome! This is a daily thread. I like to think most shamans and wise people were probably ND.
