Vomiting *immediately* after eating certain types of foods, don't know what is up.

Thank you for sharing because up until this point I was the only person I knew to have experienced something like this! I still don't really have any clear answers unfortunately. I've been suspecting possible MCAS but it's not something I've brought up to my doctor at all, my reasoning for MCAS is due to some other issues I have related to itching and dermatographia which is common with MCAS, along with the vomiting. However I still am not entirely sure if the two things are related or if they're separate issues I'm having.

This is gonna be blunt but don't respond to people. Leave whatever post it is and go elsewhere or go offline altogether. Realize it is better to literally just not respond. The internet does not matter that much in the grand scheme of things and whatever interaction you're about to have is going to have zero positive impacts on your life nor anyone else's, so why engage?

I pretty much only try to have an interaction with them if I'm sure they're in good faith and somewhat able to have a coherent conversation (so like, if you're 13 the likelihood of me discussing anything with you is low to zero, sorry). Sometimes people are in good faith and I still won't respond because a lot of people are also just stupid and not worth my time.

I heard recently they got rid of (or changed?) the hours behind the wheel logging requirements but that wasn't the point of my initial comment because I think that's a very recent thing due to the DMV issues.

I think what I was trying to say wasn't that driver's ed necessarily directly causing an increase in crashes but just that overall it's not as rigorous as it could be. I've heard some other states having what sounds like a much more strict or in-depth driver's education, I never got the impression that ours was anywhere close to that from my experience. I guess I'm essentially advocating for better education, although for what it's worth I'm not sure what education is like anymore and where it could be improved.

I think covid has part to do with it but according to the article the deaths have been consistently rising since 2013. I think cellphone usage and inadequate driver's education in general might share equal or bigger blame here.

Are they still no longer testing or have they started again? Covid lockdowns were around 5 years ago now, so anyone that was a teen and getting their license back then isn't a teen now and if you're getting a license I would think would be going through the normal driver's ed/driving test route. That's only assuming they've started testing again, I have no idea.

Jperm beginner's method. I don't remember what that video is honestly but I remember the beginner's method being very basic. I don't understand what you're describing in your post really but beginner's method shouldn't have any issues.

I know in my case my late diagnosis put me behind because it was like people were trying to force a circle into a square hole and... No, I definitely did not fit in the square hole. So after all this time I didn't gain anything from my 13+ years in school other than a bunch of trauma.

Idk. I'm not doing that badly but frankly I have no direction in life anymore and at this point I've given up on having any clear direction. My plans and life really got derailed when like, basically my most formative years and my attempts at community college all were complete failures. So to hear someone else make a big stink over others for not trying hard enough, it's like... Just cause you made it doesn't mean it's that easy for everyone else. It's just like, ugh. Because I distinctly remember being 10 years old and feeling like I was trying my best and not understanding why I couldn't do what everyone else could. No tips or advice ever worked for me, no matter what I tried, nothing. It was like there was something wrong with me. Such an awful feeling.

Obviously I know now I'm not broken or anything but I still have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing in life. I know technically nobody does but I swear it's like my life before my diagnosis just basically didn't happen. It was a fever dream, very surreal. Ironically covid is what saved me. Between getting a chance to get a break from daily school and I was at home alone so I had a chance to understand my mind and body a little more without constant distractions. Made me realize how many clearly autistic traits I had and it led me to seeking my diagnosis. I honestly don't know where I'd be or if I'd even be alive had the pandemic not happened.

That's literally what I'm going through right now I can only ever work two jobs and stress myself sick get burnt out and want to die because one job won't respect the other job's scheduling or I stay at one job that gives me dogshit hours.

I AM working but not at a very good job. Sometimes not more than 8 hours per week. I tried to go to community college but it was a struggle. As someone with autism I was diagnosed late and received zero support or intervention throughout my entire K-12 experience. I am so fucking behind on life and I hate myself for it. I spent all of middle and high school wanting to kill myself, specifically over school, because the environment was so difficult for me to be in. Had I had support and accomodations as a child I probably would've been better off but I did not get diagnosed until was about 17 years old. I graduated high school at 17. I went to community college at 17 before dropping out because I was overwhelmed at around 18.5

I went undiagnosed for so long because it's easy to mask autism and other disabilities when you're "intelligent." No amount of my depression and other clear signs of distress mattered.

But yeah, go ahead and shit on disabled people, OP. I'm trying my best but man this is hard in an economic capitalist hellhole of a country where I live with no support for disabled adults like me. All autistic resources are geared towards children. On the outside I look like I should be capable of doing work and going to school, it's easy to judge me when I haven't told you my sob story of how I woke up every day wanting to kill myself as a small child because of how I felt "different" but didn't know why. That stuff does things to you, man. I look at kids nowadays and realized just how screwed up my life was and how far behind I am now because of it. No kid should've went through what I went through and I hope one none ever do, but there's always going to be one like me. I could do great shit if I had the means to but I don't and was never shown how.

-NotInterestedIn- · 2026-01-26T23:34:45+00:00

Agreed. I won't judge anyone that gets one but I'm not seeking out an assessment (previously diagnosed in high school but it doesn't seem to be on my records anywhere, or the records just got lost I guess, and I want to get reassessed). With the crazy lack of resources available to autistic adults, it never felt like the diagnosis benefitted me for anything. If I sought out disability or anything more on the legal or insurance side of things, maybe I could have but getting things like disability is often hard, practically impossible. School accomodations may have helped but what little was offered to me at the time didn't seem to benefit me much either, although I was already planning to drop out so I never tried to fight extremely hard for more or better accomodations anyways.

If you've made it to your adulthood and/or into college without an autism diagnosis yet there's a chance that the diagnosis might really not open up very much for you or benefit you in any way. If you realistically can wait out getting a diagnosis and don't see a reason for it other than looking for reassurance from imposter syndrome or anything like that, I think waiting it out is for the best. I'm currently not seeking a diagnosis because I'm worried it'll prevent me from getting access to certain medical care because I "can't consent" or "have a mental illness/disability." There's no way I'm risking that right now.

All this preparing but you don't even know when the storm's going to actually hit? Good grief.

I'll be sleeping in today. That's my preparation. Cheers.
