I get that so much - "give me all the information I need to make a decision possible."
@ScottSoCal @theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic @actuallyautistics
Ah, gotcha. I was not familiar with the term in this context. Once again I am learning of a known, labelled trait that is me all over. It is something I have been gently (usually) mocked for my entire life.
I infodump and on things of concern I insist on it. When Dad was in hospital & had a sundowners episode I went to nurse station & said "Get me someone who can tell me everything there is to know about sundowners."
Sex discussion
@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic
Orgasms, yes, very important. Sex (with someone else involved) is more tricky, because I have that whole "don't touch me unless I know you and trust you" thing happening. Since 2010 there's been no one I know and trust well enough for that.
What role does sex play in the lives of my #ActuallyAutistic comrades?
Some of us absolutely need it for regulation, others not. Others see it thru it a different prism. Itโs taboo to talk about it, letโs change that.

I can't find where this thread started but I think I get the gist of the topic. I have (politely) grilled my various specialists, & dad's when he was alive, for detail & context; they have always been responsive & appear to enjoy it. I "justify" my inquiry with "I'm an engineer; I find the human body fascinating." That generally shifts them into professorial mode & I get what I seek - detailed understanding of their diag, Rx.

It started with Matthew inviting us to infodump. Ortho was on my mind because a brace is on my knee - it's what's happening now.
@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic @actuallyautistics
I did that yesterday, with the orthopedic surgeon, when I was asking about treatment. I don't know what he thought about it, but he kept his professionalism and answered all my questions.
I know it drives doctors nuts, but how can I trust the answers they give me if I don't give them the complete context of the question?
Info dump on me folks
The Custard-filled Binbag takes his leave of the political stage with the predictably blimpish gracelessness of the golf club drunk being told to put his trousers back on.
his first response (made 5 minutes ago) already has 100 downvotes, so we're off to a great start โ
Fact checking is hard. And expensive. And doesn't generate clicks.

That's where I'm at. I've yet to see anything resembling even remotely promising evidence yet though.
That comes from the Latin phrase: De mortuis nil nisi bonum dicendum est,
โOf the dead nothing but good is to be said.โ
Pat Robertson is dead.
Good.
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
