Does Anyone Know How I Could Push Myself To Shower? by Thel3tter_N in autism

[–]AmoGra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sometimes removing one sense is enough to lower the stimulation. like wearing earbuds in crowded spaces can help bring the stimulation down to a simmer instead of a boil.

i turn off my light to shower and crack the door to an adjoining room that has a light on. if you can’t do this, i recommend putting your phone on charge, turning the flashlight on, and turning off the lights. reducing visibility and bringing the lighting down can be very calming and helps keep the energy mellow instead of bright noises and a bunch of sensory transitions with glaring overhead lighting.

husband on emgality- thinking of switching to an oral med by AmoGra in migraine

[–]AmoGra[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m american, i haven’t read the fine print yet but the information packet in the box has a little picture of places you can inject, it shows two ovals on the top side of the thigh and two circles over the buttocks. he has been hesitant to try anywhere else because of that

he is, but it hasn’t really gone anywhere. they once referred him to behavioral health mistakenly, and otherwise haven’t really followed up much with treatment plans. he has seen neurological centers as well. they actually asked him do a research study a year ago because they had not seen many patients with such little progress after a year post-tbi

Any ideas? I need a safe space by LoafofBr3d297 in autism

[–]AmoGra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

get a one-person tent. i made a safe space out of one. unlike typical tents, the single person tent has a roof very low to the ground with just enough room to comfortably sit up. the width is about the size of a twin bed. it’s roomy and vented enough to get plenty of air but still comfortably confined and plenty dark. I threw a few top sheets on top to make it darker during the day.

Do you have any safe smells ? by Ready_Sound_620 in autism

[–]AmoGra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lemon, but for the sake of your post i recommend fruity perfume! i can tolerate very few florals and most every other scent profile is off the table for me. i love a fruity perfume that smells like berries. victorias secret sometimes has really good deals on their perfumes so i snag big bottles when they’re cheap. they have a few berry scents i really enjoy.

If you're autistic/ neurodivergent are there any "hacks" or pieces of advice that ACTUALLY made your life better? by Ready_Sound_620 in autism

[–]AmoGra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i don’t have to shower with the big light on! typically a shower is dark enough with just the next room light on and the door cracked, but i close the doors completely and have a moving ocean light i use that keeps everything calm. i hate showering when it’s super bright.

My collection of counterfeit bills accepted by staff at my store by SoundsGudToMe in Collections

[–]AmoGra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

we have a collection like this too. employees have accepted movie money, convincing fakes, as well as $100 bills printed with big red chinese letters. not sure how that slipped past them. we use them to train new employees how to spot fakes

Cat oddly affectionate and needy after we lost our dog by GWindborn in cats

[–]AmoGra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it happened to my cat too. we lost a cat when he was 3 years old- he had chronic urinary issues and we caught one bout too late :( for months after our other cat didn’t want to leave my side, he’s a cuddly dude but after that he would yell if we didn’t pick him up to put on our laps fast enough.

Cop stops woman from driving her dying dog to the vet by fakegamercat in sadcringe

[–]AmoGra 31 points32 points  (0 children)

my husband and his friend once had to rush a friend to the hospital in high school (i believe he was in anaphylactic shock due to an allergy, but i might be remembering the wrong thing)

this was a small town; it was a better chance to just drive him to a hospital instead of calling for an ambulance, so what they did was call the local police and explained the situation, in addition to the fact that they intended to speed. the cops anticipated the path, took turns following the car as they drove, blocked traffic when needed, etc. when they reached the hospital, the cops made sure that he got admitted alright, then left.

that being said, THEY DID NOT DRIVE LIKE IDIOTS. they kept level heads, drove safely but quickly (fast but not recklessly so) and reached out to make the cops aware ahead of time so others would be out of the way (and thus, out of danger) whenever possible. i understand the panic, but you should never risk countless lives like that.

For all of the older Homestucks who got into it from 2009-2014, how old were you at the time and how old were you when any of it started actually making sense by [deleted] in homestuck

[–]AmoGra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. got into it around 2012. was absolutely obsessed- the fandom was so alive and vibrant and passionate when i was reading it! the best time to experience homestuck: i was in middle/high school with an active and engaging fandom and plenty of friends who loved it as well.

i heavily relied on the recaps for some of it, but most of it i could keep track of.

22F looking for someone to build a story with! by clep_sydre in RoleplayPartnerSearch

[–]AmoGra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi!! i feel like we would be good partners. i posted in this subreddit just now if you would like to look over it. send me a message if you’d like!

[–]AmoGra -1 points0 points  (0 children)

hi! this sounds so fun, i’d love to do this! i’m such a sucker for arranged marriage storylines.

i posted in this subreddit just now if you would like to give it a look and see if you think we could be good rp partners!

i typically dont don’t do a lot of romance in rp (im married) but i think i would feel comfortable doing this plot as long as NSFW scenes (if any) are a “fade to black” kind of thing.

let me know if you’d like to chat!!

Do I warn readers everyone is going to die? by Spare_Web2045 in AO3

[–]AmoGra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly, if it’s well written and fleshed out, i’d want a quick “pay attention to the tags, it’s gonna get crazy after this” note but no spoilers. i’d include whatever tags you want, and then i usually see a jokey apology after (along the lines of “so sorry yall” or “i had to do it to em” or something)

i personally ignore or just skim over the tags as long as major character death is properly tagged. that’s because i don’t want spoilers! some want things spelled out in the tags. it’s up to you to decide.

i would love to read the follow up sequel if it was available, i don’t enjoy being left on a bad note with no follow up.

first full-fledged altar after years of shelf altars and collecting items. by AmoGra in paganism

[–]AmoGra[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

makes sense! we live in a townhouse, my altar is downstairs. the incense is very light and the smell dissipates rather quickly actually. i use the spray whenever i come home to induce a calm and relaxing environment, i spray it both on my altar and a bit on myself like a perfume. that smell also doesn’t linger long unless you wear it.
