I'd recommend iodéOS instead of /e/OS as the former is considered a bit more secure than the latter, see overview of Custom ROMs here (summarized from a well known German IT-Security Blog). You can also buy a FP5 with iodé preinstalled.
I'll try to keep it short. These are the things I love doing, even though I sometimes don't have the energy for any of it, except lying in my bed. Being autistic can be quite exhausting.
...tinkering with alternative operating systems for notebooks and smarties.
...watching Star Trek - grew up with it and just don't get tired of (re-)watching. My fav is Voyager.
...playing video games - my favs are Loz - Breath of the Wild and Horizon - Zero Dawn
...reading - mainly SF, fantasy, and non-fic. My fav authors are Stephen Baxter, Robin Hobb, and Henry David Thorau.
...strength training - one of my rooms was turned into a training room.
...cycling - I own an almost 20 years old Specialized Rockhopper and prefer day trips.
...travelling and hiking with my GF - mainly in remote areas such as Lapland for example.
... lying in my bed, since it is the one place with the least sensory triggers.
Fingers crossed. I know from my own experience that it can make all the difference in the world to finally have a lot (!) of things explained. (Got my diagnosis at the age of 34, ten years ago.)
Most autistic people struggle with sensoric overload due to a decreased ability to filter stimuli. In my case there are almost no special triggers but the multitude of stimuli, foremost accoustic ones, followed by visual ones, followed by haptic ones.
For me it is very important to minimize them by using ANC, a basecap and/or sunglasses as well as large and soft clothes
Apart from that he most important thing is to recognize when I'm starting to melt down and then to grant myself a timeout as soon as possible. Therefore I had to learn what helps me to relax the most. Being in a room with only a little light and sound, read a book, play a game, watch my favourite TV series ... If in the office or the public I sometimes retreat to the toilet, which is embarassing to admit but kind of helps.
ich hatte zur Zeit meiner Diagnose, also vor 10! Jahren, das Glück, dass die Warteliste der Autismusambulanz der Charité geöffnet war. Allerdings ist diese im Moment auch geschlossen.
Es gibt darüber hinaus auch Ärzte, die eine Diagnose anbieten. Allerdings, so mein Kenntnisstand, muss man das dann selbst bezahlen.
I got nothing to add to the comments already written but wanted to say "thanks for sharing", 'cause I'm in this mood now for weeks. It's like I'm waiting for something to happen without knowing what this something is. Luckily I'm going on holidays a few weeks from now. So: Thank you for sharing.
Very nice idea! Made me relive many happy moments :).
In 1996 I skipped school to get an autograph from William Shatner.
Also in the 1990s I visited a Star Trek exhibition where George Takei signed copies of his autobiography sitting on the TOS bridge.
In 2022 I attended my first convention and got autographs from Kate Mulgrew and Robert Picardo (and others).
In 2023 I got my (first) Star Trek tattoo :D.
