[OC] Rob & Nul - Living Dead Phenomenon - Autism Place

This is one of many drawings I made long ago; I used to post them on WordPress but I heard word about drama from the CEO of the company behind the platform so I left. Basically, my character Rob has a family when he brings home a friendly zombie from a local graveyard in the area that stays with them. The zombie’s name is Maria Antonio, named after the French queen Marion Antoinette.

What are some books about marrying a zombie? - Autism Place

Apart from the Warm Bodies series by Isaac Marion because I tried reading that and the zombie named R started getting drunk.

Which is better: F-Zero or Super Mario Kart (SNES)? - Autism Place

Favorite video game company? - Autism Place

Example: I differ from company to company. I would say either Atari or Sega, but I’ve been playing a lot of Nintendo lately even if I barely use my NES or my Switch. I think the SNES is cool and now believe the Genesis was overhyped and marketed poorly like their other consoles though I made a living playing the Saturn and Dreamcast. I am a PSO hunter, but I seldom play it anymore. Atari is now a niche company with a deeper legacy than Nintendo, being the first popular video game company still alive and releasing new software and hardware to boot. Nintendo, however, is the more popular video game brand while Atari is now a much smaller company than before but still active with arcade cabinets, home consoles, and games. I’m not sure what I really like anymore but currently I think Nintendo so far is nice with their Super Nintendo console. I’ve been playing Super Mario World and F-Zero lately.

Do movies give you sensory overload? - Autism Place

Also, am I the only autistic here who hates watching movies and television? They always abuse my senses, yet everyone loves them and doesn’t care how I feel about it and they seem not to care about my autism either because they play painful movies all the time and without acknowledging my needs. I suspect they think watching movies all day every day is supposed to be therapy for me but I try to watch movies on my own and they all abuse my senses and then they play those exact same movies I watch because therapy. Rarely do I watch movies anymore because of my senses being assaulted and my needs as an autistic person are constantly neglected by either people who like entertainment or people who think entertainment is also therapy. At the very least, my dad is a moviegoer and he understands better than any human authority figure I know that I cannot handle movies no matter what I or someone put on. And then people attack my autism as well. Or they coax me into recognizing my actions against my will when my autism makes me different than anyone anywhere in the world. Because it’s not about living with a neurological difference, it’s about being forced to behave normally when there’s no such thing as normal for people everywhere I go. Sorry, I went on a tangent, but you understand.

What browser is better: DuckDuckGo or Vivaldi? - Autism Place

My current browser is DuckDuckGo because I like to use it to protect my privacy on the Web. I heard word about Vivaldi being a popular browser for Fediverse users but I never tried it. I’m not sure which one is necessarily better.

How do you deal with autism stigma? - Autism Place

I’ve been stigmatized by many people throughout my life because I involuntarily do things they often criticize me for because they think I’m doing it all on purpose but I’m not. People stigmatize me because they aren’t very accepting of me or they blame me for my actions claiming I should be responsible for them or they treat me like a regular person who they think tolerates what they call discipline even though they don’t understand. What do I think? At the end of the day, it’s all about what you believe in: nobody’s wrong about anything, everyone could’ve handled it better even if they’re doing the best they can, and personally I think other people don’t define who you are whether they know you or not because it’s hard to tell anymore what is right or wrong…at least that’s what I’m told. Even arguing with my parents produces stigmatic responses because I did something unusual in front of them: everyone I run into does that, and I didn’t even do it on purpose. But they do tell me some good advice though, and while they’re not perfect they’re not bad. I bring this up because I argued with my father at home before we calmed down and apologized to each other and made up for it. No other person has that deep a relationship besides some friends and families I know from another place, and while religion is unpopular on Lemmy I follow Christianity which gives my life a purpose and a better meaning than just personal success like everyone else. No one’s perfect, but everyone’s fine that way. Who else faces autism stigma daily like me?

Anyone watch public television globally? - Autism Place
