Weather

Posted on by JTCHlife

Guess I will keep a lookout at the prompts that appear inside the jetpack app since even they don’t have anything to do with Asperger’s and being different then I feel they do like this one from yesterday.

What is your favorite type of weather?

My favorite weather is a bit hard to say since it depends on my mood and what things are going on in my life so decide to pick 2.

Sunny weather:

I love the warmth of a good warm day with sun to really make the day a wonderful day since you don’t have to think of what you wear and such. You can just go out and experience it all in one sense if that makes any sense.

Cold (rainy or snowy) weather:

I also love cold and snowy weather since the snow is lovely even that that is cold and sometimes a pain in the ass to remove. As long as I get to wear the right clothes I don’t mind it. The reason I love it as well is because in Denmark it allows you to spend time with your family and friends indoors. So you often play games, make buns and drink hot chocolate together. I miss doing this with my family but will hopefully do that again soon.

View all responses

Dear Jesper (100 years)

It is me, from the past at around 36 years old, life has been better and life sure have been worse but we have managed to live life and get so far anyway. In our child hood it was the bullies who ruined our mood and these days it is waiting for the alarm to go off because of two crazy leaders, one on each side of our tiny country. If you are reading this the we survived and I am sorry that my mind was a bit crazy at the time it went one. Do you still have contact to Ria? I sure hope so since she is a great friend (A bestie) in this period even we have our up and downs. Today she learned me how to make some fish dish with garlic rice and cheese onion sauce, it was wonderful. I hope there are still fish in your time as I do not think I could live so long without fish. I am sorry to her that my mind is not so good these days since I really wanna meet up with her but can’t explain why but my body does not want to leave the country, it feels like an iron ship anchor together with lots of chains is holding me to the ground. I hope we have conquered this and found a way to move on with our lives even I am not sure where to go these days. I guess that was all for now but before I leave you I want to know one thing, I do not want to know about my love life or things like that but instead I want to know, did we every get to explore more of the universe with humans inside rockets than going to the moon again?

Thanks for everything and I hope to meet up with you someday
Jesper (36 years)

Discussion about Asperger’s according to ChatGPT Part 1 of 2

Posted on by JTCHlife

Today I did not have any idea what to post, so I decide to do something as a first for me. I have yet to use any AI like ChatGPT for anything so decided to make it tell me what Asperger’s syndrome is. It gave me what you will read in a moment and that gave me an idea, what do you think of what ChatGPT says about Asperger’s syndrome is, is it correct to you or do you feel it is miss something important? I ask because I am curious and will give my opinion in the comments if people reply this post while if not then I will reply it next week.

ChatGPT begins

Asperger’s Syndrome, often referred to as Asperger’s Disorder, is a condition that was previously considered a distinct form of autism. It is now recognized as part of the autism spectrum disorder (ASD) following changes to diagnostic criteria in the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition).

People with Asperger’s Syndrome typically experience:

  1. Social Challenges: Difficulty with social interactions and understanding social cues, such as body language, tone of voice, or facial expressions. They might struggle to form and maintain friendships or engage in small talk.
  2. Repetitive Behaviors or Interests: They may have intense focus or deep knowledge about a specific subject and can show repetitive behaviors, routines, or rituals.
  3. Sensory Sensitivities: Many people with Asperger’s may be overly sensitive to lights, sounds, textures, or smells.
  4. Language Skills: Unlike other forms of autism, individuals with Asperger’s typically do not have significant delays in language development. However, they may have unusual speech patterns or tone.

While these traits are part of Asperger’s Syndrome, individuals with the condition often have average to above-average intelligence and can lead independent lives, particularly if they receive the right support and interventions.

Since Asperger’s is now classified under the broader category of autism spectrum disorder, it’s considered a “high-functioning” form of autism, meaning individuals might not have intellectual disabilities but still face challenges related to communication, behavior, and social understanding.

People with ADHD lives up to 11 years less

Posted on by JTCHlife

Today I don’t have much energy to post since I had a scout meetings all week which really took my energy plus I was delayed to go home because my mom needed my help with some computer issues so I just wanted to share a news from a Danish news site saying that people with ADHD lives up to 11 years less than normal people which I found too crazy not to post here so here is the link. I know it is in Danish but I guess people can use google translate or similar services to read it. Now I will rest so I can manage the last days of the week

To change diagnose name or not

Posted on by JTCHlife

Today I was reading up on Asperger’s to make a post here and I fell over a website which clearly told me the difference between ‘old’ Asperger’s and the new level 1 that has replaced it in 2013. Why Asperger’s Syndrome Is No Longer an Official Diagnosis is the link for those who want to read it and I just looked at the levels and reasons which made me wonder if I should change the look at myself and call myself a level 1 (DSM-5) instead of Asperger’s. I understand the reasons behind the changes but I am not ‘afraid’ to be called something a nazi doctor was name since no matter what he was the one who discovered it and second of all I am not always feeling that the new levels covers me so guess I will continue to call it that even some people might prefer the new one which I am not even sure what is other that ‘autism’. So unless I am told otherwise I won’t call myself Autism level 1 since I am not sure if that is my real number.
