Is this an established fact? If so, that's quite interesting.

I'm German myself but since I am a programmer I like the US-Keyboard more than the German one. The easy fix for me was using US-intl-nodeadkeys so I can use the right alt key to type those stupid German umlauts. This should work at least for most (Western-)European languages.

This is definitely true for me. That's one of the reasons I love anime and manga because in most of those the innermost thoughts of the characters are shown to the audience.

The best solution to this problem is not to buy one in the first place.

I think anyone with even rudimentary knowledge about computers would agree.

Is there anyone who likes landlords? Why would they?

It's not really a single tool but using Arch Linux helps me greatly since it gives me full control over my computing environment and it's look and feel.

Oh no, you fell into your own trap!

Nope, the burden of evidence is on the one claiming something contradicting current scientific understanding.

In this post I have been using that term “non-speaking episodes” because it factually describes what is happening. Some people suggest “autistic shutdown” which is common in the community.

I am not arguing we should use non verbal but autistic shutdown is way to general because for me being (temporarily) unable to speak is only one of the first syptoms. It feels like a litteral "loss of words" since in those situations I'm unable to translate my thoughts into words.

Don't worry, I'm sure you won't have to translate any overly long sentences in the first semester.

Funny how culture shapes perception. As a German that sentence didn't even strike me as overly long.

 

I have a dual diagnosis and I know a lot about my weaknesses. I read a lot about autistic strengths but I feel most of those either don't apply to me or they are negated by my ADHD.

For example I love making todo lists but following them needs extreme amounts of willpower. I'm good at analytical thinking but my lack of working memory and my distractability make it hard to do anything with that...

Are there any non obvious strengths I could look for?
