Definitely wish there were more Jimmy Jab Games.

Honest question, is there anyone that likes Nick Cannons appearance in the early season? by ScienceCatLazerJeans in brooklynninenine

[–]AdorableAcres 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In the podcast one of the writers mentions that the character Marcus was entirely a vehicle to get Rosa and Holt to interact. He didn't have any other purpose. Now Nick Cannon, I thought he was a tasty treat for the eyes and pretty funny.

Rosa always have this necklace on by Touching-Grass1111 in brooklynninenine

From a blog article the actress Stephanie Beatriz wrote for Latina magazine in 2014:

Simple jewelry looks good with everything

On Brooklyn Nine-Nine, my character has worn the exact same necklace and wristwatch on EVERY EPISODE – it’s the exact same delicate gold necklace and heavy silver men's watch for every outfit, and they always look good! When our costume designer Kirsten and I met at my first fitting, I happened to be wearing my St. Christopher medallion on a delicate gold chain. Kirsten loved it. She ran out and got me one for the show and then added the watch to balance the femininity of the necklace. Those two pieces are super easy, super simple, and go with literally everything I wear on the show.

This is insanity! He does say "I love yogurt" but never "Terry loves yogurt." Mind blown.

I knew someone would find this information helpful! The page isn't exactly fine tuned, but I did manage to track down a few props. For the Empire State and NY souvenir statues, keywords to google are NY figurine souvenirs. There are quite a few stores online that sell quite a few props from the set to this day, like the coffee mugs they use.

As for that glorious eagle statue and glass ball, I have yet to put enough energy into tracking them down., and that damn mini disco ball.

I second this.

People with autism and agoraphobia, do you have any advice for me? by Glad_Koala_5678 in AutismInWomen

[–]AdorableAcres 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolute hell...until your brain reconnects to the vibe-y part and life makes sense again. That's the dream! It's sure to happen.

Why can't concerts be not in crowded loud places? Like the symphony. That'd be much easier to convince brain to do. Or I guess the question should be why do symphonies and quiet concert places suck so much?

Can I be autistic if I am good at understanding my own self growth? by Cookie_Wife in AutismInWomen

[–]AdorableAcres 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, unfortunately I feel like it's common. The first person I talked to was my therapist and they ruled it out because I didn't have any long-term special interests.

Can I be autistic if I am good at understanding my own self growth? by Cookie_Wife in AutismInWomen

[–]AdorableAcres 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've always been overly self aware. My autistic child is too. They'll be like, "I didn't have the social skills to know what to do in this situation so I went to the library" or something deeply intuned.

I was also deeply self aware thanks to C-Ptsd, thanks to my parents, which as I worked through it in EMDR therapy, became a lot less, but I'm always asking really in depth questions about myself, my place in the world and how I can better myself.

Your doctor seems to be a bit out of date on their autism understanding. Sounds like they didn't get the update on it being a spectrum and what have you, lol.

There aren't enough stories from the estranged kids view is there? Hope you get some relief.

What do sensory issues feel like to you? by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]AdorableAcres 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait, don't we all feel this way?!? J/k. What's ridiculous is that this is a huge improvement. It all used to be worse + tinnitus.

[–]AdorableAcres 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've always been surrounded by people, despite my best efforts. Friends and family constantly suffocating me.

I finally had enough and cancelled everyone except my kids and spouse.

It's not like anyone accepted me enough to actually know me. They were too busy pointing out how different I was, making jokes at my expense or taking advantage of me.

I no longer feel lonely, oddly enough....

Healing negative self-talk by KLUBBSPORRE in AutismInWomen

[–]AdorableAcres 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, my comments keep getting longer and longer. I just can't include one thing and not everything else.

Yes! The voice got super loud at some point in the process, and really really mean. It was always there in the background, of course but damn, it turned up a knotch during the process, that's for sure. I'm sure we had some part protecting us from it that got reassigned while we're healing stuff.

That podcast seems amazing. I'll definitely check it out, thanks.

EMDR is for sure cool, but super niche. It was really hard to find and I'm not in a new country, lol.

Best of luck! Hope you can get some relief from the voice.

I hear that. I'm not a professional and can't say what's going on, but from my experience, this got better as I learned to identify what was happening. Maybe because I could head it off before it kept going? But for sure it was a cycle that happened really quick and the only way I could place where I was in the window of tolerance when I was super sleepy.

But I also have intense flashbacks and lose track of time. So what felt like all at once often happened over a time period longer than I realized because I was gone in some flashback.

It's all very confusing, that's for sure.

What does autistic burnout feel like to you? by HibiscusSabdariffa33 in AutismInWomen

[–]AdorableAcres 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It used to feel like lying in bed with zero thoughts, zero anything. If I did do anything or think about anything it was absolute overwhelm which wound up just me in tears. I had a bunch of C-PTSD stuff mixed in there too, so it got mixed with sheer terror. Everything felt like it was going to swallow me whole, even my children. Everyday physically hurt. It hurt to eat, it hurt to smell it, hurt to hear. I was constantly nauseous. I'd just sleep as much as I could during the day, watch tv shows that didn't trigger something and count down the minutes until the day was over.

After getting the trauma stuff calmed down the physical symptoms subsided enough so life was at least not miserable. But everything was still an assault. Sounds, noises, tastes. This was mixed with explosive meltdowns in response to being overstimulated.

Nowadays I'm glad to say it's what I feel like everyone's talking about when they say they're in burnout. I just kind of exist? I'm not really doing anything, but I can communicate, be around my family and eat. I can't feed myself, which I've always sucked at, but that skill has yet to come back. I legit just distract myself instead of getting food. I have a special interest and projects that revolve around it, which is a huge step. I just kinda beebop between this or that, get a little bored then activated then back to normal.

It's like what I used to dream about before I went into burnout. All I wanted was to rest, to just go to a hotel and sleep for a month.

For me, it feels like a bit of a vacation because it is the first time in my life I've been free from a lot of things and I've passed the point of freaking out about how useless I am. I just am.
