    Chill, I was typing! Me too. Imagine: You hear your crush talking about the cosmere You walk over "Did you know there's a forum about it?", you ask. "Yes" "Oh, what's your username? Mine is @Deception" "Oh, mine is @[insert forum friend of @Deception here]" "Wait a second" "WAIT" "WHAT?" "HUH???"

    oof I mean "AWDANGIT" luckily that hasn't happened to me

    I think this thread is a perfectly good place to debate this, but if it's annoying other people, then we can stop.

    "What are you all talking about?", asks Deception, entering another command on his laptop. "Everything is already working". Suddenly, everyone's device turns on if it is off, opens Minecraft, and joins the same LAN java world.

    "Stay calm. What's going on?", says Deception, desperately trying not to panic. @Through The Living Star @GG0z

    "You were flying above us", explains Crystal. "And then you yelled 'oh, storms' and passed out". "Do you remember what happened?", asks Deception @GG0z

    Deception pushes more stormlight into Gatav, then manifests some cold water and dumps it on his face in an attempt to wake him up.

    "Uhhh... what? Can we just play Minecraft now?"
  9. Deception
    Deception instantly destroys the platform and creates an air pocket under the surface of the beads to hide in. "What happened???", he asks. @GG0z

    "if you’re playing accordion , kindly relocate yourself to the afterlife" - @Verdance

    "Yes, fly up higher. Just be careful with your Stormlight.", says Deception. "And you don't understand why perhaps the Shard of Valor hunting us down is bad?"
  12. Deception
    "Bluffs, bluffs, bluffs", says Deception in unison with a monotone robot voice coming from every powered computer and speaker in the room.

    10 years old might be old enough to start reading the cosmere or it might not. There aren't any content problems - the problem would be interest and comprehension. But you should just try it and see how it goes.
  14. Deception
    Aww, dang it!
  15. Deception
    Yay! I can go cheat on my homework now, knowing it is perfectly okay!

    "So do I." Deception enters a command into his computer, then plugs the power port of GGOz's PC into his laptop, enters GGOz's password into it, and then unplugs the PC, which is apparently able to run with no charge. Deception enters GG0z's password onto the PC casually, and clicks the Minecraft icon. Instantly, the word "potato" sounds from the speakers at full volume. "Oh, yeah. Your computer is going to do that every time you click something now. Whoops!"

    "Sure! Maybe I'll even turn off my fly hacks someday... WAIT. WHERE'D THE COMPUTER COME FROM???"
  18. Deception
    "Yes. Check your phone, I installed some of my games on it remotely." <the phone now has 15 separate instances of Minecraft installed on it, in an app group called "get hacked"> "Want to play Minecraft?"

    If I called it a condition that's just because I don't feel like writing "different way of thinking" every time I post, and because many ways of putting it sound too much like the euphemisms we use to describe people with all sorts of disabilities these days. Yes, I know there is no "cure". I mean, there might be something like that... it's called beer. Makes you very talkative, I've heard. But yes, that would be incredibly offensive. Flow state is a state of perfect challenge balance, where you can work up to 3x faster and everything is exact difficulty to be stimulating without being too hard. In the flow state, a person loses track of time and may end up doing the same task all day as 100% of their focus and brainpower is concentrated on the task at hand. While in a flow state, a person's intellectual ability improves drastically. I don't like putting numbers on intelligence, but if I had to chose a number I would say if I took an IQ test while in a flow state vs not, I would score 20-30 points higher while in a flow state. A neurotypical person can actually also achieve a flow state as well, but it takes a bit of luck and a lot of practice, whereas it's already the default mode for someone with autism. There are drawbacks, though. Since an autistic person is always trying to be in a flow state, it means that task switching is extremely difficult for them. For example: Getting off the couch to go shower Pausing a hobby to eat dinner Basically starting any new activity Stopping a task to go to bed or other things This is because a flow state is extremely rewarding while one is in it, so it is hard to stop. It is difficult to start because it is highly taxing for the brain to build a new attention tunnel to get into a flow.

    A man walks into the room. Most of the people know him by Deception, but nobody knows his actual name. He is dressed in all black, formal clothing. He sits down at a table and opens up a laptop, casually activating 15 different VPNs and doing what looks like trying to take down the servers of Canada, and probably is exactly that.

    I am high functioning... mostly. I don't see the need to avoid labeling myself as autistic. There are upsides as well. Okay, just one upside, but it's a good one. The flow state. I learned a programming language (Java) in only one day because of this flow state, and today I made a whole life simulator thing with plants that grow and multiply and animals that reproduce and eat plants in about an hour. Also, it's unclear how bad my autism actually is, because of the twice exceptional problem (a twice exceptional, or 2e, person is a neurodivergent person with an IQ of 130+). An IQ of 130 can cover things up, and make level 2 autism look like level 1. Outwardly, I can fully mask without that much effort, except in more awkward situations like greetings, and I have plenty of neurotypical friends. But inwardly, I've scored 100%, which points to level 3 autism, on some self assessments. Again, twice exceptional. It's like running a video game on a PC with a crazy CPU but a terrible GPU - if the CPU is good enough, it can cover up the GPU's problems. But at the end of the day, here is why I chose to identify as autistic: If there was a cure, I would refuse it. I think there are two ways to proceed when you have ADHD, Autism, Williams, or something like that. Ignore it, or embrace it. Both are healthy, and the only problems will come when you try to be in the middle.

    "Summoning something? WHAT?", exclaims Deception. Crystal jumps in. "The Fused said something about the wrath of 'val-' and then cut himself off. Who could that be?" "Valiance? Valkyries? Just 'Val'?" "...Valor...?" "Oh, no" @GG0z
  23. Deception
    "What?", asks Deception.
  24. Deception
    Thanks! I'm still surprised too about how nice everyone is here. Haven't seen a single toxic post since I joined. Good enough community that I was able to put "autistic" in my signature and nobody laughed. Imagine trying to do that on ... well, literally anywhere else.

    "Don't ask me!", gasps Deception. "I was just minding my own business practicing my soulcasting when a massive meteor fell on my head!" "Actually, it's called a meteorite since it landed on the planet", states Crystal.
