I used to at least be able to talk over the mic online. Was always running my mouth in TF2 and shit.
Now, I go into VRChat, enter a room full of people and it feels the same as if I walked into a crowded store giving me hella anxiety. I hate it.
If you're on PC, stick with PC only worlds. They tend to only have adults/sane people. Much less chaotic.
They've also added proximity options to limit voices to just the people around you
.. I just realized this isn't the autism community but the above should still help some!
You are just.... Everywhere.
Not complaining, I'm just impressed. I feel like I'm in Lemmy home when you're around.
Things like this is what made Lemmy feels more like a community.
I'm currently trying to get assessed for ASD - I've had days where I involuntarily go non-verbal and feel pain whenever I try to speak.
There's a large comorbidity (overlap, basically) between ADHD and ASD - and I think this is more of an ASD thing than an ADHD sort of thing.
Once, many moons ago, I read a term that someone used to describe themselves for having ADHD and ASD, but wasn't the term "neurodivergent" since they didn't like its companion term "neurotypical". I wish that I could remember what term they used, because saying AuDHD is still terribly wordy especially spoken out loud, and I don't have the H part.
I have taken to saying that I have triple A, Autism, ADHD, and Anxiety, but that's even more wordy since it requires explanation.
Nah just loop your dialogue about your last hyperfixation.
The player character may try to quickly skip through dialog they've already heard, so if they interrupt you, just pick up on the next sentence you were going to say.
In some engines, the player character may also be able to walk away mid-dialog. If this happens, feel free to continue talking while they're still within earshot, or berate them.
Hahahha yep
sigh Times are tough...
