When I read about #autismnotesfollow in reputable #booksnotesfollow, I relate to almost everything that is described (keeping in mind that no two autistic people are alike). However, I always read the sections on #eyeContactnotesfollow with bewilderment. I don't identify either with the obsessive need to make eye contact, which UK and US books often mention as #neurotypicalnotesfollow behavior, or with the difficulties in making it. #Neurodiversitynotesfollow #Psychologynotesfollow #Autismnotesfollow
@pqs๐Ÿคชprofilefollowcontinued:
I suspectโ€”and this is the interesting partโ€”that there are significant cultural differences in this regard. In fact, the reputable Spanish books on autism that I have read don't address this topic (if I remember correctly).
@pqs๐Ÿคชprofilefollowcontinued:
I assume that in the Anglo-Saxon world people look into each other's eyes (or believe they do), whereas here, in Spain, we tend to shift our gaze more, from the listener's face to the surroundings, etc. I don't know; it's possible. I find it difficult to find good references online. Most of the ones I come across compare East Asia with the Anglo-Saxon world.
@pqs๐Ÿคชprofilefollowcontinued:
When you speak with people, where do you direct your gaze? I think I look at the face in general, but I also look at my surroundings, etc. No one has ever commented that I don't maintain eye contact properly during a conversation.
@pqs๐Ÿคชprofilefollowcontinued:
The whole thread ends with two questions: 1. How large are the cultural differences surounding eye contact in conversations, between the US-UK and Spain, Italy, France, or Portugal? 2. Are English textbooks on autism obsessed on this because this is really an autism problem or because of their own cultural context?

I never used the online version, but the last time I used the offline version it already was a horrible experience. This was about 5 years ago, before I had moved entirely to Linux. It was so bad I downloaded a pirated version of some old MS Office 2007 Blue Edition to have something acceptable. I unironically prefer Libre Office.

@brunoborges๐Ÿ˜Žprofilefollowreplied to@lemonthymeshortbreadprofilefollowI carved wooden spoons and my favourite herb is lemon thyme.:
TOML is a better format for configuration files IMO, if not for many reasons, primarily because TOML accepts comments. However, one annoying thing for TOML was the lack of schema, and the reliance on JSON Schema for that. Which I decided to tackle years ago when I started the TOML Schema project. In the past few months I leveraged code agents to take to the finish line and got something compelling: tomlschema.org
@lemonthymeshortbreadprofilefollowI carved wooden spoons and my favourite herb is lemon thyme.replied to@brunoborges๐Ÿ˜Žprofilefollow:
Thatโ€™s really cool. I suppose it would allow people to verify their config file is valid without having to pass it to in the intended program, which might be running in production or infeasible to run locally โ€” very interesting
@brunoborges๐Ÿ˜Žprofilefollowreplied to@lemonthymeshortbreadprofilefollowI carved wooden spoons and my favourite herb is lemon thyme.:
Exactly! The schema also enables tools to have rich editors to config files without having to know about the config file format upfront. There is an editor for TOML Schema as an example, on the website.

Would you say it changes in any way how you see yourself or how you act? I've been constantly told I should get an evaluation due to certain... behaviours I exhibit apparently, but I've been wondering how relevant a positive diagnosis would really be.

No, doesnโ€™t make a difference. Mostly helpful for communicating the situation but didnโ€™t change how I act or how I see myself. Ymmv however, especially if you think it will then it might, but I doubt it.

In my case it was very useful. Since Covid-19, and fatherhood in general (I'm 45), I went thorough a series of burnouts, which were getting worse. The diagnosis gave me an answer to the question, "why can't I handle the pressure"? Being autistic, I tend to need good theoretical frameworks to make sense of my life. Thinks that I don't control or understand, are a source of anxiety. As a consequence, the diagnosis gave me the framework and helped me accept that my career path had do change.
@pqs๐Ÿคชprofilefollowcontinued:
Now, I still have the same problems as before, but now they don't blow out of proportion. When I don't feel well I tell myself, this is my autism, I need time alone, I need to recover, and thus I don't get the extra anxiety. Also, now I don't try to fight my limitations. So, nothing changes, but everything changes a little bit.
@pqs๐Ÿคชprofilefollowcontinued:
I also think this helped my family (wife, sisters, parents, ...) as they also understodd some of my behaviour.
