One of my twitter threads is just a long list of difficult autism symptoms where removing them would improve myself.I checked off prosopagnosia and heightened fear response in February.Still working on the Avolition and Negative Affect on my schizo list. https://t.co/lm9SzIKopN

If I had a desire to smear feces like many autistic children, that would be on my list of traits of "I really wish I'd rather not".Currently its on a list of "I really hope I don't start one day"https://t.co/yKcNBWlZ19

Alzheimer's => scatolia ("fecal smearing")"The patients with scatolia tended to get lower scores in tests of cognitive function and displayed more negative affect/actions with respect to [quality of life]"https://t.co/cs0SGmEFEs

These are just sub items under that schizo list right now."quantitative meta-analysis suggested that subjects with schizophrenia were associated with a significantly greater risk of dementia incidence (RR 2.29; 95% CI 1.35–3.88) than those without." https://t.co/xzBYWbJ1aA

I think one of the under-rated things about having a big list of things to improve is that you can start to arrange things by their underlying causes and keep track of regressions to check that your problem solving techniques are working.Feels really good when something fixes.

TL;DR: I am way weaker than I should be for my body size, and it is a common issue among many autistic types. I have not been exercising, but have increased my grip strength quite a bit (I'm using it as a metric). https://t.co/YzRG1WLKt1

My grips strength reversing during 2020 was a sign that my methods weren't working well. Re-evaluating my approach there let me double it.

I'm getting better at jokes. I'm still amphibolic in how I present, but at least I recognize when I'm saying things like that.E.g. "Negative Affect" is a sort of pun about how the list of bad things implies poor self-concept.I feel more mentally nimble https://t.co/NUqq7TmTlI

A lot of my langauge is obstuse, and amphibolic, and I often suffer from mindblindness and empathy defects, and yet.https://t.co/pDsn2urEk7

I also see how my memory is semi-event driven. The last time I spoke to my friend beiser was on that topic as well.https://t.co/mBckUk5CaW

@ctbeiser @disconcision @sliminality I was. I learned how to be amphibolic on purpose.You might like his 2003 GDC presentation "Dynamics for Designers". https://t.co/VCi42zzG9ohttps://t.co/Lia1ae68pTHe's quite the person to have as a role model.

I don't think I've met them in real life though, so I don't say "good friend". https://t.co/zv8RaTdhmD

I have met @nsreed. He's a good friend. He's seen my problems with sarcasm and humor first hand. I enjoy being able to see his jokes better now :)https://t.co/8aFK0lFUuF
