That’s the weird part - they have some stuff based on experiences, like dropping my kid off at school, and being in a baseball stadium. The missile landing looked similar to an artillery napalm round in Helldivers, but the wedding, the glitter bomb, the baseball stadium my parents in NYC, in a bunker? Yeah not exactly stuff I’m familiar with.

I remember another dream where I was being driven to school as a kid, and giant flying saucers descend from the sky and start firing green lasers into the ground. Or a time in hypnosis where I talked to an Eldritch entity consisting of an eyeball and tentacles that’s connected to all of us that is the reason we get stress headaches because we try to pull them off (yeah).

My mind is weird

Totally feel that. Constant stress and anxiety manifesting in mine

If you have used Matlab, Or R, there is a huge range of data science that only really requires an undergrad in math. Hospitals that run their own Clinical Trials usually have a consistent need.

Really you’re eligible for anything statistics related, and there is a lot out there. Some job titles to look for:

1. Data Scientist
2. Statistical Analyst
3. Statistical Programmer
4. Signal Analyst (this is usually government related)
5. Data curator

I guess that’s my point. I agree with you. ASD make up a large portion of ND. I don’t personally like the ND identity even with an ADHD diagnosis (and have quite obvious symptoms when off my meds).

The reason I don’t like it is because if you use it as an identity, suddenly my experience needs to be accepted by everyone. I need the medicine to function in this society. To appear as a functioning adult. If I just said to people “Im neurodivergent” and expect them to handle my lengthy train of thought and wild imagination I would probably not have a job.

It isn’t race, ethnicity, a sexuality or gender - that is an identity that affects no one regardless of occupation or status except the individual. Neurodivergent disorders affect you, your family, your friends, your employer, your customers, your classmates, etc.

Black and white thinking is pretty common in ASD though isn’t it?

Yes - but more importantly, I am so happy reading the rest of the comments here: I’ve truly found my people.

Medicare for all is so easy too.

Like literally just adding “for all” to the existing system.

And nixing health insurance companies. It’s a win win!
