Does that study that claims autistic people are "too moral" actually exist? I can't find what study it is. I'm skeptical that it actually exists, since I can't locate the specific study.

Executive dysfunction and burnout.

Executive function is used in a lot of scenarios; I feel like shit when I can't use executive function to accomplish a goal I have; and when I do complete a goal; I feel like I never actually enjoyed it.

  • I can't find much advantages to executive function; I can only think of UX design; where executive function can make one blind to some issues.

Disappointment 100.

This always annoyed me. Why do so many studies have issues with setting up fair and balanced tests? Why are the sample sizes too low?

I usually just ignore societal rules and only do activities that I want or need to do.

Does anyone else have difficulty remembering to eat/drink regularly? If you have fixed this, what methods would you recommend? (lemmy.ml)

All my life I've been been slim/athletic, but it's had far little to do with any kind of discipline and far more to do with me constantly forgetting to eat/drink regularly, plus sports. I'm tall too so that's always helped a lot.

It's starting to annoy me though because I know eating/drinking regularly is generally healthier than eating/drinking sporadically, and I'd like to figure out a method of fixing this that fits well with how my mind works.

In the past, I've manged to fix a number of lifelong issues I've struggled with by using resources geared towards people with autism and ADHD. I used to be fairly unorganized until I found these resources and now my stuff in general is very organized in a way that I actually enjoy maintaining.

I'd like to find a similar way to fix this issue I have with not eating/drinking regularly-- basically a way to structure things so that I eat/drink regularly in a way that I can really get into a repetitive groove.
