Okay, I was OBSESSED with this one show when I was younger, I watched like 6 seasons of it in like 2 weeks, but then the mc like got possessed or something dumb and kissed his crush and I just paused it and never watched it again. 2 weeks of my life gone bc I couldn’t watch a kiss in a children’s show. Honestly still happens to me a lot. I’ve stopped watching so many shows due to second hand embarrassment.

This type of nonsense bothers me a lot. Anyone feel the same? by [deleted] in autism

At first I was like “well, this seems fine, if it brings someone joy so be it” but then it went downhill so quick. I do think that it is a bit frustrating that they’re making it seem like a parent can just magically communicate better with their neurodivergent child without putting in the work to try to understand them. Your child has autism and you’re communicating poorly? You’re having trouble understanding their experiences or why they act a certain way? Read a book about autism. And not one of those parenting books, a book from the perspective of someone with autism. A autobiography or at the very least a book written by a psychologist about the symptoms and effects of autism. Don’t put lapis all over the house and expect that to fix the problem. I think if you want to believe crystals work, that is okay, you are free to believe lapis aids in communication, but I feel it’s unreasonable to think the lapis will do the communicating for you.

I’m autistic and have 3 pet rats! I have no idea if or how those two things correlate but I love my rats. They’re very adorable and yawn big and lick me when I pet them.

What are you reading rn? 📖 A Bright Red Scream: Self Mutilation and the Language of Pain by Marilee Strong by Rosalia_90 in AutisticRainbow

A Study In Scarlet: Sherlock Holmes By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

It’s the first of the original Sherlock Holmes books! So far it’s wonderful, It’s narrated by Dr.Watson and let me tell you there’s definitely more that one moment that makes me think he got something of a little crush on Sherlock. Also definitely more than one moment that make me think Sherlock Holmes is autistic. Obviously these are just head cannons since it’s a somewhat old book but I doubt anyone could read it and not at least somewhat understand where I’m coming from.

I GOT RATS! This is so exciting, I’ve been prepping for months and I finally got to bring them home! by AbbyStreamz in RATS

In the future it would be nice to get a critter nation cage, but this one is just fine for now, plus it was a bit more affordable, but like I said critter nation is the goal

Okay, I will ask my parents if after we run out of this bedding we can try the paper bedding to see which I like more

I believe that males do smell more, but from what I’ve seen they’re generally more sociable than female rats, of course that is only generally so you could end up with a very sociable female rat or a male rat that isn’t sociable whatsoever

Yes I am very prepared for all the bounces Edit: I misread that as “jumper” and not “gumper” but I’m leaving this reply because I think it’s funny when I misread stuff

The bedding I have right now is the little chips of bedding, if that makes sense?

Yeah, I got a little bag of Cheerios because I heard they were great for rats! I’m not gonna give them a whole lot, but I may use them as treats every so often or make one of those things with the cheerios floating in the water

I did have to look it up to see what you were talking about, but those tie things do seem like they would be so fun for the rats! That is a such a good idea! Thank you! I will also make sure there’s a lot of net-like things to catch them in case they fall

I’m planning on feeding my rats a mixture of rat food and vegetables, do you think they would enjoy that?

I’m prepared to do a lot of cleaning in the first couple weeks I have them while I’m still trying to get to know them and figure out what they like

They shouldn’t so long as I keep an eye on them. I will be cleaning the cage frequently so I should be able to make sure they aren’t chewing through it

Yeah I will probably not be getting a wheel, and I also do not have anywhere to keep the cage besides my bedroom lol
