I did the Online Monotropism Questionnaire survey and my results are:
Monotropism Score: 222 / 235
Average: 4.72
This score means that you are more Monotropic than about 95% of autistic people and about 100% of allistic people.

@ScottSoCal @actuallyautistic Hoping the Ativan provides you some relief this time or that they have another great drug that helps you. I had an MRI years ago and I have absolutely no idea how I managed it.
I'm front-loading my stress meltdown for my upcoming MRI. I have 3mg of Ativan to take for it, but there's a voice in my head that keeps telling me I don't react like other people to tranquilizers. I never have. And I'm flashing back to my first one (without medication) and the feeling of that restraint pressing on my chest, and the tube wall 4" in front of my face, and the noise...
I wish this was over. I wish I could stop thinking about it.
Also, I can scale the intonation of the "ok" to fit how truthful I feel comfortable being.
"ok."
"ok..."
"ok!"
@justyourluck Really sorry to hear this. Sounds like folks there haven't experienced very high temperatures before.
Tips from an Australian:
- stay indoors
- if you must go outside, carry a spray bottle of tap water and spritz yourself frequently
- apply 30+ UV cream to all exposed skin
- walk on the shaded side of the street
- shade yourself with an umbrella
- wear a broad-brimmed hat
- do not get into a car that's been parked in the sun
- drink a LOT of water, around 2- 3 pints in 8 hours
- if you stop sweating, it's a medical emergency.
- if there's no aircon, drape wet towels over yourself
- to get more from your aircon, limit the amount of space it has to cool by turning off some rooms/ shutting doors
- if the aircon is not enough, turn on a fan as well
Stay safe, people.π
Shortly after midnight I woke up because a bright light shined directly into my eyes. I got up, totally confused and realised that all the lights containing the dimmable Phillips Hue lamps were shining at maximum power. This happened because of the settings in the hue app on how to react to power failures. If you are using these kind of lamps, maybe you should check the settings too.
American Evangelicalism: For when you're a shitty judgy wrong prick but you don't think other Christian sects are racist or Nazi enough.
Fuck Jason Aldean,
and if youβre a fan of his,
Fuck YOU, too.
Be a better person.
Listen to Tim McGraw; heβs a decent person whose art, music, and values are more in line with Americaβs best qualities and greatest promises.

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.
