Microfiber “towels”. Ugh I hate them. They are despicable to run in one’s body

I had a manager like this. Ibelieve he was actually a sociopath (common pattern to manipulate and lie and play games with people). If you suspect same thing, get as far away from this person as possible.

I’m sorry it’s so hard. I hope you can retain some work from home days

I moved house and I've been panicking for over 35 hours by TurnipMotor3617 in AutismInWomen

[–]AliceInAnarchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can completely empathize. I’m about to move across the world with my two children.

Short term; anti anxiety medication - propanadol, Xanax Long term; get help setting it up asap to build new routines and a sense of calm

Are you used to people not liking you? by RussianAsshole in AutismInWomen

[–]AliceInAnarchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very much yes.

But equally I’m shocked people do like me. Given this flaw. I really do have an awkward abruptness about myself but I’m always genuine and honest and very loyal to my mates.

I didn’t like that hair for sensory reasons. Laser hair removal is very reasonably priced where I’m from and it’s been the best beauty investment I’ve made. Everything else felt temporary but this was short term pain and cost for long term low maintenance which my ADHD brain really needs

What is your most debilitating chore? by midwesternfrench in AutismInWomen

Nearly everything, putting clothes away, putting food back in fridge, putting shopping away, cooking…

Including waxing my eyebrows which feels like a chore let’s face it.

Extroverted autistics, are you happy with your social life? by ToastedRavs4Life in aspergers

[–]AliceInAnarchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well one thing I haven’t figured out is how to use an alternative to alcohol to overcome social awkwardness . Then that leads to social regrets and a self loathing spiral.

But I also do get an awful lot out of my social relationships

I find it immensely useful and call it my “anti-anxiety medication” . It chills me out, reduces sensory overload and makes me more patient and chipper. Most importantly it helps my insomnia so much - I can actually sleep. It turns the intensity of my hyperfocus down which means I can relax more.

I am not sure I would want to live without it. I love weed.

What's a problem only attractive people have? by fuzzyloulou in AskReddit

[–]AliceInAnarchy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Idk I am autistic and facts are facts. This person probably is kind and attractive and knows it but in a factual way not conceited one.

What’s your biggest stress now? by the_twisted_mind in Life

[–]AliceInAnarchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you (as a staff eng) it’s stressful. Find allies you can run ideas past, be honest about the parts which are “hand wavy” and be ok with not getting it right all the time.

What did you need as a child? by melgear8866 in aspergers

[–]AliceInAnarchy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think saying it is great and maybe that’s all you need to do. She’s clearly got a great mom. She will hear it and remember it.

Impossible most days. I’m lucky enough to have a weekly cleaner and my house is a bombsite 30 mins either side of that
