I spent years being sleep-deprived due to a sleep apnea chronic snorer on the other half of the bed. I feel for you and hope you get some good sleep soon!

Baseball >> American football. Baseball is much more American and more entertaining than football. If I had to pick a sport to watch that wasn't a motorsport, it would absolutely be baseball. I'll always miss the stupid Metrodome "We like it here"

I don't know how people enjoy football. You sit through commercials of hair loss treatments, dick pills, and gambling ads, and then you get maybe a minute of action. Somehow it's even worse to see in person.

Baseball is fun to play, but I've never watched it on TV. The pro games can get crazy long, I know there was a game once that was like 30+ innings or something.

>palmistshouse: Yes! That was one of my favorite things, the possibility of a long game. THEY hate you and America and they introduced the manfred man (zombie runner) to prevent this: in extra innings, there's automatically a runner on second. Disgusting! I watched the Astros-Mariners 18 inning game. At inning 12 I drove to see a movie, when I came out it was still going!

@ Oscarspage, similar thing happened to my dad and uncle when they were younger. Went to see a local game, it lasted until dark and they ended up just going home because it wasn't worth it to be there anymore.

I only follow baseball as a whole closely enough to know the most famous players and most of the controversies, but I do keep up with my local team (the Twins). Love baseball season. I think it's the only sport where you can eat during the game, so it's my kinda thing. Will never not be impressed by how fluidly those guys let sunflower seeds fall out of their mouths.

God I felt that. I felt similarly frustrated and conflicted a couple years ago because autistic friends and accquaintances would basically often tell me "damn dude you sound kinda autistic". Then yeah same thing doing test and whatnot and thinking maybe I'd have an answer to "what the fuck is wrong with me". But ultimately I'm kinda in the same boat, there doesn't seem to be a reason to agonize over it or pursue a--

I have kind of the opposite problem, I was diagnosed with autism as a small child and I’ve had people tell me I’m not autistic (including some of my own family members) because I don’t fit their very antiquated and narrow view of the condition..

i'm autistic. first i was self-diagnosed, then i got a "real" diagnosis because...i dunno, my parents constantly insulted me, calling me "Aspy," but also called me "too smart/charismatic/funny" for autism; i wanted to prove i was right for once. i'm normally never that specific about it because i think i could/do have other stuff going on, too, but i'm also fully anti-psych, i hate the DSM-5, etc. but i will share my

I’m in the EXACT place especially after I got medicated for my anxiety. I don’t plan on seeking a diagnosis either because of the American political climate. I worry that people would treat me differently if I was diagnosed also :/

Thank you, everybody. It's a relief to hear that others feel this and to hear it from another side. @benny1548132 I share your rejection of diagnoses and I apologize for the association with "deficiency". I think I resisted the possibility for so long because my family would use it as an insult. I guess me not wanting to admit they might be ""right""

Thanks for sharing this. It's something I've been exploring myself for the past year or so. All of the self-assessments say yes. I haven't asked many people what they think because I find it kind of embarrassing to ask. I don't think I need to know for sure, but the thought has helped me advocate for myself. I've been prioritizing my downtime to recharge outside of work lately and it's helped immensely.

And I guess in some sense, the possibility of being autistic also helped me let myself off the hook on some things. Like, I was beating myself up about not getting promoted at work this past year. And it’s not that I think autistic people shouldn’t be in leadership roles, but I’m recognizing that I just don’t have the personality they’re looking for and never will. It’s simultaneously freeing and disappointing.
