That is actually using the same brain receptors that physical pain show up in. Punishing them on top of it excessively is counter intuitive. If you insist, negotiate the punishment. Also tell them you love them. ^249761449 ##### ^250119143 Goto: https://twitter.com/roryreckons/status/1460840639826857984 ###### ^250119143q A hypothesis for my life is that I actually listen to people far more than they realise and have internalised a lot of instructions I was given on a core level.

Systemically, always - but it does depend on the larger international system.

I know why it has been so hard to find my core. Feels like trying to construct a self when you are T-1000 in lava. ^255548330 ##### ^263520467 highlight_tags:: [[neurodivergency]] Goto: https://twitter.com/roryreckons/status/1462693350000132100 ###### ^263520467q My brain constantly impulsive solves problems when I’m doing other things. “Intrusive solutions” are one of my most common features. ^263520467 ##### ^263521786 highlight_tags:: [[creativity]] Goto: https://twitter.com/roryreckons/status/1462694267709624325 ###### ^263521786q The higher my stress in a social situation = the worse my recall The lower my stress alone = weird as hell super creative and usually correct answers I haven’t been thinking about. ^263521786 ##### ^263521787 highlight_tags:: [[autism]] Goto: https://twitter.com/roryreckons/status/1462693715642707968 ###### ^263521787q I think the second I stop stressing my brain often releases solutions to me.
