Do you periodically burn out?
I've just learned something while researching that could benefit you...
I was reading the work of autistic researcher Dora Raymaker.
She explained that the functioning of an autistic person running up to burnout can look like a "seneca cliff".
A seneca cliff is a model of a system which shows that growth or functioning is pretty good (even seeming to increase) and then, when decline comes, functioning falls off the cliff...at a rate much faster than growth.
It occurred to me that lots of people say to me "I was fine until I wasn't" or "I felt like I was actually ramping up or doing much more until I burnt out".
With this in mind, if it's hard for you to know when a burnout is coming (we can't always tell when we're in it), then you could reflect on whether or not you've been ramping up or putting in extra effort...this might indicate that a crash could be coming.
If this is helpful, pass the information on to your #autistic, #ADHD or #AuDHD friends and family.

re: conlang (Wụúgụ), positive (mention of physical health)
(obviously because I'm sick I didn't actually get that much done, but it's nice to have a few things written out)
conlang (Wụúgụ), positive (mention of physical health)
A couple of months ago I lost a bunch of my work on my conlang, and I haven't really felt motivated to work on it properly.
But today, I woke up feeling awful and had to take the day off work, and I managed to get back into it!
I still lost the historical sound changes that I put a lot of work into originally, but a fair amount of the language thoughts that were just in my brain for a long time are now in a document!

TAS, an idea
I had an idea: a Peggle TASwhich is intentionally designed to be as unsatisfying as possible - the ball just *barely* misses things, or is really close to getting a cool trick shot but then just gets stuck or something

@rnd do they even provide a service with the app, or is it literally just solitaire with ads?
@Tattooed_mummy unfortunately it does not seem to have sufficient settings to do what I want - I want a sound to play at specifically these times:
09:50
13:50
18:00
With blip blip's options, you can set something like "chime on the hour between 10am and 7pm", but I can't find anything that would let me have it only happen 3 times a day at specific times I set.
(It is possible that these features are only in the next update - I have opted in to the beta, so once I receive that I can check)
@Tattooed_mummy that can play every hour, but I want to be able to schedule things at (say) 3 specific times of day.
are there any android apps that allow you to play a chime or some kind of sound at a specific time?
I want the sound to just play once and then stop.
re: programming
@efi really??
re: programming
I then extended the idea further to like... a programmable data soup.
So instead of it being functions embedded in a spreadsheet, it's a programming environment where spreadsheets are embedded inside it
programming
I have had this idea for a program for ages, but I don't think I'm ever going to be able to make it.
The idea started out as a spreadsheet app, but where the formulas are based on haskell/lambda calculus - crucially:
* the syntax is much nicer than excel's standard.
* first class functions abound - you can pass functions to other functions. You can put a function in a cell without applying it, and then later use that function against values elsewhere.
are there any good singleplayer trivia games?

little-known fact, but PHP is actually short for "please headpat". because the programmers who have to deal with the language need it
