I always kept one or two stuck in the strings on the headstock. There's also little pouches that attach to your guitar strap. But good job keeping it going sans pick ( or spectrum if you must.)

The way he tries to rationally analyse every social interaction and learn from each new input seems to be the very definition of autism as it's been explained to me. He has no social instincts, and can only operate in a social context by observing how people around him operate and trying to imitate them. He's in the mess he's in because the people around him, whose standards of behaviour he's trying to conform to, are SJWs, for whom the appropriateness of any act depends only on whether it's done by a member of the ingroup or the outgroup: it's ok when we do it. Good luck to anyone without social instincts trying to divine any kind of guiding principle from them.
I think I agree. Maybe not autistic, but someone with a low native social intelligence. I'm actually not saying that as an attack. I'd raise my hand as someone who shares that. I'm everything you say there, well, except for the social "teachings" I have are generally entirely different.

Kinda feel bad for him really. I could see myself in the same boat, to be honest, given exposure to a different culture.

Anybody else keeping up with the Loopy Kooky Kali Bookey case? The 14yo self-proclaimed psychopath, who to me, seems like she has been infleunced by SJWs and Skepchicks.

Anyway, this caught my eye: Near the end of the attack, Bookey asked the girl if she wanted to ‘die right now’ or ‘bleed out’. The victim chose bleed out and Bookey stopped cutting her."

Well he hasn't stated that he has fired off any legal letters. Odds are if he had a lawyer, he would have advised Richard against making this post. And does this post show signs of Richard having talked with a lawyer beyond his free one hour consultation? It kind of looks like he has been looking up the laws for defamation, and has been trying to interpret it all himself, and sound scary.

https://psychology-tools.com/autism-spe ... /score.php

"Your score was 39 out of a possible 50. Scores in the 33-50 range indicate significant autistic traits (autism)."

Thinking of following up on this. It sure would explain a lot & might make a handy weapon when neurotypicals forget their privilege. Anyone know of any cheap but respectable ways to test for this?
I'm in the UK and even getting a referral for assessment as an adult is bloody difficult. Basically, unless the condition is impacting on your health you won't get a referral. It was only when my social interaction problems lead to depression that I got a referral and even that took months.

The actual assessment took 18 weeks. That involves tests to rule out other conditions, IQ tests, assessment by a speech therapist, autism specialists, and a complete medical and social history. They may even interview friends and family. There's also this test called an 'awkward moments' test about hypothetical social interactions which is very like the Voight-Kampf test in Blade Runner.

I'd pretty much figured out I was on the spectrum years earlier but since there's no 'treatment' there was did-all reason to be tested. It was only when I was transferred from a back-of-house data input job to a client-facing role that resulted in a number of predictably violent incidents and some time off work that I got an assessment and a transfer back to a more suitable job. As a general rule, if your client-base consists largely of drug-addicts and ex-offenders, don't expect someone with the social skills of a bonobo to deal with them.

That sounds rather uninviting. I'm mostly just excited to unwrap a shiny new disorder & see how much of my quirks are me & how much are autism or whatever. I function & provide for myself just fine. I'm just eager to have my social retardation explained in a fascinating manner. It would also be a promotion from weirdo to semi-special snowflake.

In elementary school I figured out that everyone else seemed to be on the same page about a lot of things I didn't seem to get. I spent a lot of time consciously analyzing how people socialised, like Carrier seems to do. It was never intuitive. A huge amount of my in-person social abilities are deliberately honed affectations. I also have to consciously try to do the eye contact thing & it always gets noticed. I suspected that some well understood condition was behind this but it never seemed worth the money to have it looked into.

How have they survived for an odd hundred thousand years without tools and basic agricultural knowledge?

I mean if they are having hardships for other reasons or people want to help them advance out of the iron age cool, but if it's lack of shoves and well building knowledge? No we have to let those people go.

I want this Carrier court action to go all the way. Costing a lot of money. I derive a lot of satisfaction from watching SJWs get themselves into financial trouble. One of the central tactics is to attack other people's employment (essentially their financial means), so it will really hurt if they start to lose lots of $$$$ in endless court action.

I now have this image of Carrier, or whoever he's up against, in a Hollywood-type court scene, with the gavel coming down on a 30 year sentence. I fucking dream of SJWs going to prison for long stretches. Pity this one won't be THAT good, but we could see Carrier and some of the other SJWs suffer.

This is a win-win for us.

#42617

Carrier would have to self represent. The charade ends when one of the entities threatens to counter sue.

Of note, he has threatened to sue Lauren Lane, Stephanie Van, pz Myers, Free Thought Blogs, The-Orbit. But not the woman who made the initial complaint.

Could it be that he doesn't want his accusations compared to her accusations in a court of law?

#42618

I speak from experience when I tell you that being sued by an amateur, or rather an amateur who has found a low ranking member of the bar who is willing to pass through filings for them into the for a few c notes, can be more expensive to fight than a real lawyer, because the judge will often indulge the mistakes and let them try again.

Eye-contact is something I have to force myself to do.

When I'm concentrating on something it takes up all my focus and I drop eye-contact, my voice becomes monotone, I look distracted, etc. It makes me look like I'm not paying attention when it's often precisely the opposite.

I think religion gives people a structure to be uniquely horrible in a structured way. "Belief in a cruel God makes a cruel man," as Thomas Paine said. Religion has the potential to turn he innately cruel kind, if a person's subservient rule-following overruled their lack empathy, but unfortunately the monotheisms aren't equipped to do it. People who turn to religion because they sense some lack in moral fortitude are usually jumping from the frying pan into the fire.

Sounds exactly like my general experience. I can't think or follow what someone is saying if I look them in the eye. My attention gets completely taken up with trying to do it right. Not too long or intense, not looking away too quickly, proper facial expressions that say I'm listening, ect. I have to look down or away & sorta turn my eyes off to listen properly. I still smile, nod, & laugh naturally while conversing but my eye contact thingey is broken.

I see your point. It is people who rigidly follow dogma that are the problem. SJWs remind me of fundamentalist Christians and Islamists. Moderate Christians can share a lot in common with progressive liberal secular humanists. SJWs are simply toxic. There really is no common bond among atheists apart from a lack of faith in God. Atheist's politics can be all over the spectrum, despite was Peezus thinks.

I think people often use an accusation of "you're on the spectrum" as a punishment for when you don't respond to them in the manner they want/expect, or if you deliberately ignore them because they're being annoying and unreasonable. That's my experience, anyway.

Kirbmarc wrote:The new SJW meme about terrorism is that every spree killer is a terrorist, and so Muslims are only a small minority of terrorists.

The pressure from SJWs to extend/redefine the meaning of "terrorism" can be directly correlated to the increase of Islamic terrorism.

Another one of their tricks is to deflect. For example, "terrorism" in the US has to be calculated from 2002 onwards. I wonder why that is? Also, they don't like when you ask them about the proportion/ratios of people involved in terrorist acts. Facts always complicate their narrative.

"Is this a test to find out if I'm autistic or a lesbian, Mr Deckart?"

I always thought Sean Young looked autistic in that movie. Daryl Hannah, who plays Pris, has admitted that she was tested for autism as a child.

There are autistic themes recurring throughout Philip K Dick's work.

Dick used to babysit a friend's autistic kid. That experience inspired Martian Time-Slip, about an autistic kid on Mars, written only a year or so before he wrote Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. In that a schizophrenic is hired to communicate with the kid, Manfred Steiner, who is also precognitive. Autism in that novel is explained as the brain's way of coping with a different perception of time.

Dick used the terms 'autistic' and 'schizoid' as synonyms, and he saw autism and schizophrenia as part of the same spectrum. That's largely how psychiatry saw them initially: the term 'autism' was coined by Eugen Bleuler to denote a symptom of schizophrenia. The concept of a seperate autistic spectrum didn't really come along until after Dick's death when Hans Asperger's work was translated into English.

In Do Androids..., when Rachel fails the Voight-Kampf test, her uncle (called Rosen in the book, not Tyrell) tries to convince Deckard she is human but schizoid. Deckard is aware that the VK fails when used on schizoids, which is why he is afraid of 'retiring' a human by mistake. The novel is more concerned with the possibility of humans failing the test than with androids passing it.

Pris and Rachel are the same model in Androids, which is why Deckard has a hard time killing Pris.

Pris first appeared in Dick's We Can Build You, written just before Androids but published afterwards. In that she was human but schizoid and had recently been released from an institution.

In K W Jeter's sequel to Blade Runner Pris turns out to be a human who thought she was an robot. One of the first studies of an autistic was a study of a boy with the same delusion.

The character of JT Isidore from Androids (the basis of JF Sebastian in the movie) originally appeared in Dick's Confessions of a Crap Artist which, like We Can Build You, was written before Androids but published afterwards. Isidore is autistic in Crap Artist.

Deckard is married in the book; his wife suffers from what she, herself, describes as 'an absence of appropriate affect' - a symptom of autism.

In Androids the androids are unable to commune with the messianic Mercer because they cannot use the 'empathy boxes' that humans use to become part of a group mind. The androids are atheists and one, a TV celebrity called Buster Friendly, attempts to debunk Mercerism. Dicks' Deus Irae, co-written with Roger Zelazny, attributes the lack of religious belief in autistics to that same lack of empathy.

However, the other three, are Jupiter, Mars and Saturn former paramours who wrote in Dicky's defence? I do recall Jaime as having the surname Juniper when mentioned here first. If it's Juniper then it's nothing but if it's Jupiter, well, it may still be nothing but it would be a fine coincidence.

I'm either very autistic, or not autistic, depending whether

"Definitely" means 'all the time' + "Slightly" means 'occassionally'

Some suggested questions for a test for the Dick Carrier Spectrum:

* If a woman looks at me, it means she wants sex with me: strongly agree/slightly agree/slightly disagree/strongly disagree

* I can usually master a new field of study in a few minutes:

* If people disagree with me, they must be insane:

* The historicity of religious figures can be mathematically disproven with a confidence of several decimal places:

* People generally like to hear about my sexual fetishes:

* If I take a sex worker on a date, and pay for everything on the date, then lend her some money, but don't pay directly for the sex, it's not paying for sex:

* Calling someone an "idiot" automatically negates their argument:

* When I'm having sex with my girlfriend, and my girlfriend's husband's sperm gets on my face, I could catch Teh Gay:

* Terms like "peer-reviewed" can mean whatever you want them to mean:

* Size matters:

* I am a very good dancer:
