  • I think one of the most helpful things for me has been changing the internal dialog that has been nailed into me since i was young—“you’re not enough,” “you lazy #%^*,” and a whole slew of things repeating in my mind when i disappoint others, am misunderstood, or can’t seem to handle/understand something that seems so basic to others.

    Genuine encouragement that validates where you are right now (without any pressure to perform or do better) is i think one of the most powerful tools for us with ASD. Sadly, because of the social/career ladders and the way our society operates, a lot of us don’t have that encouraging voice on the outside to help us out. Many of the voices in our lives have misunderstood us and assumed our intentions were malicious when the reality was we just think and act on another level than others do.

    If you are able to put yourself in an environment or with others that understand you and encourage you, do whatever you can to do so. If you are unable to do that right now, do what you can to practice changing all the negative words that play on repeat in our heads and beat us down.

    Think about it—if you want a flower to grow, you aren’t just gonna beat it into submission and yell at it to do better, right? You give it food, water, and sun. You have to give it time and treat it kindly and gently. It’s the same way with a young kid who’s trying to learn how to walk.

    The reality is, we have all given it our best effort even if it doesn’t show on the outside. That deserves to be noticed, uplifted, and appreciated. And i think when you do so, when you allow yourself moments to simply exist the way you are, you’ll finally see yourself start to grow in ways you never thought possible.

  • AI has such a bad rap, but I actually found this tool to be really helpful with some of my challenges

  • Thankfully you don’t need an account to use. It does look like they store anonymized messages to “make the service better” according to their terms. Honestly, I don’t know how you’d improve a service like that without some sense of how your users are actually using it

  • Agreed. I’ve dabbled in it some but I’m no expert, maybe someone else could chime in. I just haven’t found anything that works quite as well as Pi yet and it was really intriguing to say the least. You can even talk to it verbally back and forth like a phone call

  • That’s a huge concern for me too. They do explicitly state in the Privacy Policy that your data will never be sold or shared with third parties for advertising purposes, but that only means so much. It would be nice to see a full list of exact companies/services they use behind-the-scenes. Regardless, I really look forward to the day I can self-host something this powerful myself

  • anyone just sink into the sounds of music so much that you forget how english/your language sounds like, and you just hear some alien language in the song?

  • Yeah, it will never be the same to me as the real thing, but the better it gets at imitating the real thing the more it will start to move us. Here’s a sample of some electronic music. I wrote the lyrics and then it generated it the music (after hundreds of iterations of course)

  • This is exactly what I search for in music. It's this beautiful, lonely, nostalgic place where I can almost reach out and touch a fragile moment I've never experienced but somehow always needed. It ever so slightly fills that empty feeling that I've already lost everything I love and I'll never get it back. It's like a taste of what my life could have been.

  • Holy crap yes—I just started making music with AI and it's an absolute black hole. I can finally start to create a certain mood or feeling I've wanted to capture in music and I get completely lost on repeat. I have always loved the deep levels of escape that some music nails really well, but now I can almost craft that for myself and it's wild. I guess sometimes getting lost in the music like that can feel like a bad thing, but other times that huge blurry mess of sound is kind of a nice escape.
