If a "cure" to autism was created, would you take it?
  • Absolutely not. I wouldn't be me anymore, and I'm too attached to the perks. I don't really think that it would be possible to only get rid of the stuff that negatively impacts us.

    There are times when I love what my sensitivity brings to the table, for example, when listening to music or looking at a painting, but I hate it when there's a subwoofer on somewhere on the block. I don't want to give up the first to not have to suffer the second. I'd love to be able to be more spontaneous, but I wouldn't give up my pattern recognition abilities.

    It's an interesting question, though. Would we know what the expected changes would be before taking the pill?

  • What distro(s) do you use?
  • I've been distro hopping (mostly Debian-based) for a while, and for some reason, I just kind of settled on Zorin. Mostly because I didn't feel like setting things up again, but it's also a decent distro that just works for me.

  • What are some communities that aren't here yet that you hope to see in the future?
  • I'd love to see communities about:

    • crafting (fibre crafts like knitting and spinning in particular)
    • classical music
    • photography
    • Latin
    • history (r/askhistorians?)
    • cats
    • art
    • cooking
    • writing
    • Star Trek
    • menopause
    • AuDHD
    • birdwatching
    • gardening
    • reading
