Hello, I'm new here

[dcnovak]

I'm Dylan and I like to play PC games. I also like to learn a lot about coding and I may be a mechatronic engineer in the future.

How am I a bot?

Fair enough.

On the off-chance that you do in fact have a pulse, welcome to the forums? (only time and multiple random-posts will prove your case)

Don't mind thess guys, they're jilted. And rightly so. After decades of experience here, new members are suspect. If you are truly who you say you are, endure the hazing, and you will be part of the tribe before long.

That's old enough to die in war. Be given the death sentence. Appear in adult movies. So what the fuck are you on about?

We just had another new person post a thread like this yesterday, it's not a common occurrence at all, this corner of the internet isn't the thriving metropolis it once was. Now it's more like the Mos Eisley cantina.

 

[DAPUNISHER]

Oh an no profanity in the tech forums. It is allowed in the social forums, but even then show some restraint.

'ey, don't cut his arm off, enough bloodstains on the floor as it is, right?

About that. Sound on for this clip.

If only these people knew I had autism.

I'm inclined to think probably at least half of the people here are on the spectrum, TBH.

 

[Captante]

And how, pray-tell would we know that? 🙄

You will have to be more specific. Happy to adjust my interactions with you, to show awareness of your condition.

 

[biostud]

Do the forums get new members?

I thought it all happened on reddit and YouTube.

High-Functioning Autism, I didn't mean to cause any malicious intent to anyone. I was just introducing myself.

Yes be careful using the wise and beautiful woman word.
You’ll figure this out over time. Took me about 12

I'm inclined to think probably at least half of the people here are on the spectrum, TBH.

I fully agree.


Good luck OP

Shows what you know, youngsters are all about the TikTok and Discord now 😛

Some within the community aren't keen on the high-functioning label since it frames us in regard to how easy/difficult neurotypicals find us to deal with. I only recently heard that it was falling out of favor myself.

Well, I'm not sure what type of autism I have then.

I'm not saying you can't use it, just informing you that some may not take it in stride 🙂 I don't typically need to specify with regard to myself, and if I were speaking about someone who's non-verbal, I'd just say that.
