Our teeth do much better when we eat a diet that's more in line with our evolution. Check out pictures of primal tribes. They very often have beautiful smiles.

Awesome. How do you like having a Whippet? I have always liked them an Greyhounds from afar.

Destiny 2 should be in that list. It's all meta builds.

I'll also mention the opposite. I got back into Rocket League. I originally had about 300hrs in it and stopped playing for a couple years. I have put maybe another 30hrs in since coming back and it's exactly as I left it. Maybe a couple menus have changed but it was very simple to get back into.

Thanks for the cool pic! Is this your pup (guessing from username)?

Yeah definitely a stupidity problem and not an education problem. /s

Yeah basically a kneecaped PC with horrible data policy. Example, if you have a game with a 3rd party save/account like a lot of games do, Sony owns it and you can not migrate it to other platforms. I bought my nephew a gaming PC and he lost about 2000hrs of progress in Apex because Sony owns his account.

I'm not even a snob against consoles, just Sony sucks balls these days. I'd go with an Xbox but by then you're basically buying a PC... Although you can prob get a cheaper price on an Xbox especially if you're not building your own machine.

If you go with the T480 (not sure about the S model) you can run dual batteries and it's runds FOREVER

So I'm not a doctor but as I understand it, CAT-Q effectively is a booster for the RAADS-R. A lot of the RAADS-R is either understanding or recognizing the symptoms of autism, but people who are high masking (aka "camouflaged") have often learned to hide/not notice their autistic traits. Reminder of course, the "A" in CAT-Q means "autistic".

That said, I think 100+ on RAADS-R before a fairly high CAT-Q is something worth considering alone.

I have a special interest in psychology and if this was something related to a mental health condition I would be the first to tell you that the best way to learn is peer-reviewed studies, published references like the DSM-5 (imperfect as it may be) and so on. However, autism is not a psychological issue, it's a neurological difference. This means that the best way to learn is to talk to autistic people (which you currently are!) and see if the little things that make you/them "weird" resonate with each other. If you're feeling more introverted than that, you could maybe find an autistic YouTuber that "clicks" with you and see how their experience compares to yours.

Hey there I replied to the person that replied to you but I think that comment may be of value to you. https://reddthat.com/comment/12415216

And FWIW, there is only one kind of autism. ;)

FWIW if you're 18+ there is less reason to get formally diagnosed. University of Washington did a study some time ago which found self diagnosis is rarely wrong. Link to that PDF here: https://depts.washington.edu/uwautism/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Self-Diagnosed-Adult-Autism-Resources-handout-9-22-22.pdf

A good way to find out is a combination of a couple tests. The RAADS-R is the most accurate known autism test, is is over 80% accurate. Here is a free one that doesn't require registration: https://embrace-autism.com/raads-r/

And if you doubt you're autistic in any way (guessing based on wanting to be diagnosed), the CAT-Q is a good test to identify camouflaged autistic traits that you've learned to hide. This one is also free from the same place: https://embrace-autism.com/cat-q/

Feel free to ask if you have questions. I'm late diagnosed myself (was over 30) and it's a big world to navigate blindly!

Interesting, thanks for sharing. I have heard of xxy, but not how it can look neurodivergent, so that will be my light reading for the evening!
