An obvious misconception is the idea that North Korea is a "totalitarian" dictatorship; it's been perpetuated by western media.

Any more misconceptions?

If it affects your gameplay; how do you deal with it?

What struck me about Augustus’ comments was that it is completely normal to start dating in your early twenties. I started dating in my early twenties, for one, and so have many of my friends, both disabled and temporarily non-disabled.

1. What are their sources? (Other than anecdotal evidence.)
2. "Normal" is an alienating term; not everyone will receive an average expectation.
3. Most incels have not gotten a relationship or had sex. That is the definition of involuntary celibate.
4. Who are the author's friends and what are their material conditions? There could be different material conditions that separate Augustus from them.

• They could be female (teens can get dates too) humans who are more likely to get dates.
• The author could have lived in a place accepting of neurodiversity.

What is clear is that the fight against incels and their ideology must include a fight for comprehensive sex education for all students

The Cuban missile crisis prevented the U.S from fully occupying Cuba; but now that the Soviet Union is gone, does Cuba still have nukes? If not, then how and why is Cuba not being terrorized right now?

Unlike in the old Soviet Union…

The Soviet Union had discovered autism (although as a different term) in 1926;^[Sukhareva-Prior to Asperger and Kanner] the Soviet Union also cared for autistic people.

Because of the lack of state resources going into treating autistic people, many parents of autistic children have to rely on “NGO’s” (they are unable to register as such, but are NGO’s according to the international interpretation of such a term). [5] These NGO’s are often rather inadequate: although many claim that they use ABA (Applied Behaviour Analysis), very few professionals working for these organizations have received formal training in ‘‘real’’ ABA principles and techniques. [6] Those organisations that do, such as the Stars and Rain institute in Beijing, are costly. Stars and Rain offers a 10-week programme in ABA, but the cost of the treatment is 3000 yuan (about $361.) with families being responsible for travel and accommodations on top of this. For most families in China, this is too much. [7]

Sigh... Looks like it's those ABA worshipers again.

I haven't been able to figure how sensory traits (like hypersensitivities, hyposensitivity, and sensory triggers) are formed or if they change. I tried searching online; but I keep coming up empty.

I guess science hasn't been able to figure that out yet.

Wait, I already posted about this topic... Oh well, this post is much more elaborate on my opinion anyway.

Deepfakes can generally be detected by analyzing the movement of the deepfake,^[Deepfake Detection Techniques: A Review]^[Detect DeepFakes: How to counteract misinformation created by AI] or general sensory details.

However, some traits of autism conflict, while others align, with those methods. I think it should be important to have a discussion about autistic people and deepfakes.

Sensory overload

Sensory overload could be a problem when analyzing a Deepfake; it could result in a potentially large delay in deepfake verification.

• If an autistic person were to get sensory overload from the facial movement of a deepfake, it could be difficult to discern multiple deepfakes from facial movement.

• If an autistic person were to get sensory overload from sunlight, then the autistic person would not be able to discern fake sunlight in deepfake videos well.

Also the autistic person could only be able to verify few videos during recovery or burnout (if it occurs).

Nonverbal communication deficits.

The inability to perceive nonverbal cues means that relying on the deepfaked person's body cues to detect deepfakes becomes less reliable. (e.g Using real videos of Zelenskky or Tom Cruise to detect deepfakes of them.)

Hypersensitivities

Hypersensitivity to sensory stimuli could be an advantage or disadvantage in detecting deepfakes; hypersensitivities include an increased sensitivity sensory stimuli, which can be helpful in determining if the medium is believable enough to be verified as a real video. Deepfakes rely on creating believable media to trick the viewers.

• A hypersensitivity to light could result in an ability to easier detect unnatural light simulations.
• A hypersensitivity to movements can result in the autistic person detecting unrealistic body movements easier.
• A hypersensitivity to sight (or seeing textures) can result in the autistic person detecting unrealistic textures easier.

However, these hypersensitivities could also result in an increased probability of receiving sensory overload, which could reduce the ability to discern deepfakes for a time period.

I've been thinking about banning those "aww" posts for some time. You know those posts flared with "aww" on r/autism? I like those posts, but they unnecessarily clutter up the subreddit; and I think I would prefer this community to be a more serious discussion platform.

Also I'm going to change a term in rule 1: 'related' to 'relevant'. Relevancy is a more definition to my idea of rule 1.
