Toby Allen made one for a lot of Neuro-types and -conditions. (beware, some are a lot less cute than these two)

I like his Autism Monster more than the TBH-Creature. More cute and fluffy - more complex style. Too bad that means it is much less meme-able.

And the ADHD-Monster is okay, too.

What do you think?

I dub this technique 'prostresstinating'.

A picture of the plant my great great grandfather had built up. Located in Moravia, Czechia. This is how it looked before it got bombed in WWII. The original was an oilpainting - and also lost.

I wanted to rescue this picure for quite a while now, because it is a rare document of personal significance, but I lack the skills and now also the time to actually do it.

The picture is a scan (I just threw the maximum resolution at it and corrected contrast a little) of a magazine reproduction (only blackwhite) of a postcard showing the original painting. It accumulated a lot of losses of quality in the process of being a copy of a copy of a copy, so I included an annotated version with the imgur album.

I consider color to be a lost cause here, but if you want to try your hand at colorizing, go for it. What I would really like fixed is the halftone pattern, the paper damage and the letters that rubbed off from another magazine. (The company logo must stay)

Originally I wanted to do it myself, so I didn't plan a budget (and was advised against putting a number here), but I will award xx.-€ for the best result posted before Dec. 23rd 2023.

Good luck.

Welcome I'm back on my BS 🤪

Since we all have to sleep and work from time to time, having an additional set of eyes on our spaces is a good idea. Thus BS and I have exchanged mod status for here and c/Autism.

Uuuuh, no idea what else to say... Go on and DHD the Au some more, I guess. ♾️ 😄

This one speaks to me on multiple levels.

It's a reason I dropped my scepticism of medication and went to get a diagnosis and subsequent prescription. I am glad I did - and that it worked first try. (It's not guaranteed anything would, depending on unknown factors and probably autism also influences the effectiveness)

I can confirm: At first, it really feels that way. But now, half a year later, it balanced out a little and I am only medium fast. Still - much improvement compared to before.

(Disclaimer: This is not medical advice, do not mistake for such)

As an experiment: Just some good news...

Notice: Metacomment following.

I wasn't planning to make this Sublemmy be just about memes of the more-or-less relatable kind. Relevant news, external links, helpful videos, or just text posts about personal experiences (list incomplete) are all allowed, too. It's just that it turned out this way, because I am more comfortable with initiating conversation with memes...

Maybe I should have made that more clear... Maybe I should write up an official modpost and ask for feedback... For now, I encourage you to share your opinion informally - I would like to know where you (the awesome readers and commenters) want me to go next.

"No, I don't really want to discuss the sword right now."

I can relate... If it is worth doing, it must be done 100% right, first try, zero margin for error, no rehearsals, no practise round.

Like rocket science!

(Except I know that's not how rocket science is done, either, but somehow that thought refuses to sink in)

Still looking for a good word describing that strange mental state you'll find yourself in when you know how to mask almost perfectly, but just learned that you can't keep that up any longer, because that was the thing that almost crushed you.
