My name is Illiadia. I have lvl 1 autism, cptsd, ocd, and variants of dyslexia. I'm mainly here because I've been walking the path of self-healing recently, and I'd like to reach out for some kinds of external connection. Currently, I'm living a fairly reclused life, near hikikomori levels. One of the things that I believe makes me unique is I have a deep capability to achieve auto meta-cognition, which allows me to self reflect and change myself consciously/actively. This was buried because of the cptsd, but I've only recently regained it, and now I'm using it to heal myself as much as possible.

Rewritten, I'm here to make friends! Maybe make new connections. Regardless of what happens going forward, it makes me happy knowing my experience isn't just my own. I'm happy this community exists. Thank you!

Welcome Lunarfox to Wrong Planet. Hope you find lots of Forums and Threads to read here. And you are not the only one whom is glad this Planet exists. Socializing can be hard for many many Aspies.

I don't know how likely you are to make a friend here that you physically see in real life, but overall it is a very nice crowd.

I'm glad I'm here.

Hi there.

Good to have you. Hope you'll like it here.

Well, howdy!

Ahoy-hoy.

Welcome

LunarFox, Welcome to Wrong Planet.

I wasn't familiar with the term auto meta-cognition, so I looked it up.



O.K. I think I understand. I used it successfully years ago but without a computer running the process. We tend to attack a problem one step at a time. You start at the beginning and then go to the next step and then the next step until you reach the final conclusion. But in this type of approach, you break the task down into many, many pieces and begin to takle the problem all at the same time.

For example, if you have a task where one step will require several months to complete once you begin this subtask, this subtask must be moved to the front of the line.

Sometimes there is a task that you have no control over. You will depend on someone else to perform this task. They can cause you to come to a fatal stop. You have to find these elements and go to battle to overcome them.

Welcome.
Mine is a level 2.
Plus other comorbidities, some unsolvable.
I had very intense OCD until I was 16.
Then I deconstructed it.
But I don't think anything goes away, and something still remains.
Today I checked three times to see if I'd locked the door, knowing full well I had.
Sometimes I check my work twice. Once he helped me; I checked my work, then that of the person who hired me.
Mine was correct, my boss's was wrong. We were working on two electronic systems in a barracks. I thought he'd get angry with me.
Instead, he thanked me.
For me, it was a passion, for him, just a job: that was the main difference.

Regarding dyslexia, it's not my opinion: there are facilitation programs that help dyslexic people. Sorry, I read this a long time ago, but I can't give you a precise reference right now.
Dysgraphia, yes: it got worse over the years.
Hikikomori: I was one.
Not for a short time.
I know what it means.
Be very careful, seek help.
Communicate with people you consider worthy and trustworthy.
Even online.
Try to get over it, do small things to succeed, and without rushing, methodically.

You'll succeed.
Self-metacognition
I think Jimmy M. already provided a valid answer. I have to see the video, I'm still struggling a little.
PSTD ditto.
One of your sentences suggests that your mind has used a self-protective method to distance itself from the trauma it has suffered.

Dysorthography and dyscalculia.
Some have not always been present in us.
Some arise from trauma.
Some traumas are obvious because we know their origin.
Others are unclear.
Dysorthography is very common in learning disabilities.

Welcome to Wrong Planet!

Thank you for your responses everyone <3 Extra thank you to those offering support and advice!

I think even a simple hello is helpful.
Advice: um!
Generally, many of us give them to help.
You know, it goes beyond what we should do: just a welcoming greeting.

The rest is like a huge puzzle.
Everyone has some little piece that (maybe) can be helpful.

Generally, we're information collectors.

Thank you: welcome
