Re: The ASD thread (Autism Spectrum Disorder)

Re: The ASD thread (Autism Spectrum Disorder)

^^^ That was a good listen, I like Fern. I listened to the podcast version of it. My wife's got her book, that sounds like an enlightening read.

Re: The ASD thread (Autism Spectrum Disorder)

Does anyone have any helpful book recommendations that offer any useful insight into autism? I've got The Autistic Brain by Temple Grandin which seems authoritative but more of an academic minded...

Delighted to find the Glasgow Willy Wonka experience website is still up, it's a riot of AI generated art and blurbhttps://i.ibb.co/NtrYNFJ/enchanting-entertainment-1.png"...

Re: Enjoying a bit of culture as a layperson

I meant to mention I went to one of the big galleries in Glasgow years ago. I enjoyed it, but my main memory is falling down the steps upon leaving and doing my ankle in. I have a memory of seeing...

Re: Enjoying a bit of culture as a layperson

I like Udemy, they have a sale on every so often, I don't think I've ever paid more than £12 or so for a course on there. There was a fine art module on my college course, not really related to what...

Re: What do you consistently re-watch ?

"stupid boy" "we're doomed!" "don't tell him Pike!" I think Dad's Army was one of the first telly shows with proper catchphrases, can't think of anything earlier. Don't tell him pike was a one off,...

Re: What do you consistently re-watch ?

I'm imagining them doing this whilst in character. Ian Lavender passed away today, I think he might have been the last of the original cast.

Re: What do you consistently re-watch ?

I would watch a full series of this Samuel Beckett's One Foot in the Grave, Father Ted hybrid.

I used to rewatch dvds of things in the pre on-demand streaming times. Seinfeld, Firefly, Absolutely,...

Re: Do you have a fear of being seen as boring?

I'd never considered that before you mentioned it. But no, he's a wrong 'un in lots of ways, haven't seen him for years. The group sounds like a good experience. I'm reading about intersectionality...

Re: Do you have a fear of being seen as boring?

^^Growing up, being called boring was the insult that cut the deepest. I think boring gets used as shorthand for quiet most of the time, which is not the same; in that context the person calling...

Re: The difference between mental illness and character flaws

I found group therapy quite hard to get anything out of for exactly that reason, people presenting as 'normal'; in long term relationships with careers, kids. Couldn't think how sharing my...

Re: The difference between mental illness and character flaws

Re: The difference between mental illness and character flaws

Yes, I think that's it. I don't trust myself at all to self diagnose, it feels too significant a decision to make myself. At the same time, I'm acutely aware that I process the world in a different...

Re: The difference between mental illness and character flaws

I tie myself in knots thinking about this stuff. Definitions are important. It feels like there's a hierarchy of mental illness. Some things, like depression and anxiety, have their bit in the DSM...

Re: Socially anxious and living alone - what reading material is a good cope for you?

I really enjoyed Convenience Store Woman, finished it a few weeks ago. I was going to suggest this book in the book group thread, Under the Skin by Michel Faber. On the face of it a book (and film)...

Re: Rate the last film you watched (4)..

^ I really liked Men, I enjoyed the combo of funny and weird grotesquery. I get the Nic Cage thing, but you might be missing out. Ken Barlow's son does an amazingly batsh1t turn in it if that helps.
