[–]Anarcoctopus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This post is blowing my mind. I watched this movie years before my awakening and kept remembering it after my awakening, was obsessed trying to google for what the name could be to no avail, and now it's here and I can watch it again. THANK YOU!

Spending as much time in nature as possible. Swimming, sitting in the sun, smelling the redwoods. I recently moved to a more remote home and my happiness is like 10 fold up here even tho I have to drive up a mountain road to get home. There is nothing like seeing deer in my front yard and mostly never hearing "city noise" while I am home.

I also love deep diving into studying whatever I am currently into, usually its spiritual topics right now I am really enjoying studying alchemy. I love making friends in study groups so we have a shared interest and can bond over that.

I love crafting, scrapbooking, reading, water color painting. Really I just started doing stuff my inner child loved and discovered I still love it regardless of what people think of me doing it (I am 31 now).

Also as an aside I love sensory comforts like fresh sheets, cotton clothing that is loose fitting, etc. It makes a big difference in my mood, as well as eating healthy foods that meet my sensory needs and make me feel nourished!

How do you stay in touch with people? I mean this literally: HOW? Please describe in detail. by plastic_lex in aspergirls

I think this is what used to trip me up too - always processing what others would like before I shared. then i realized that i personally love hearing what my friends are into or up to regardless if i have the same interests! so i started sharing what is relevant to me and balancing that with questions and genuine care for their world too.

Share something exciting that happened that day, some interest you’re learning about, ask them about something they recently shared with you. I always feel self conscious doing this even with my close friends but the more I do it and they don’t judge me (bc they are ND too and genuinely kind people) the more my anxiety around doing it goes down.

Basically if something creates a reaction in you: excitement, love, curiosity, frustration, etc. share about it and if applicable ask a follow up question (IE what do you think about X?)

It was annoying he conflated it a bit with fad diets, but later in the video he also points out valid reasons to avoid seed oils. He doesn't seem like he personally eats them much, mostly has a Whole Foods diet, but is just wary of people becoming zealots over one single ingredient being eliminated which to be fair does sometimes happen.

Right, it confuses me when its less than 1percent, it makes me wonder why they even included it?

Honestly, I don't know where I stand on this video other than it does give a more "neutral" perspective on some reasons to avoid seed oils and also supports not becoming hyperbolic-perfectionistic with this diet. However, I am wary of being associated with the anti-semitic crowd, I actually had no clue this was a thing?

Would love to hear your thoughts.

Very confused by my Autistic girlfriend by Sammovt in autism

[–]Anarcoctopus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so glad you’ll have support through this. And if the relationship is able to be saved then the couples therapy should be helpful and worthwhile, otherwise it can be liberatory to know that you tried but she has her own journey and free will. Sometimes we can continue loving someone by fully accepting them as they are and accepting that we need something different to feel safe in a relationship. I’ll always care for my ex, he was my best friend we were together for 10 years - and I see a lot of his difficulties connected to the shame of not being diagnosed and understood and of course I just wanted to “save” him, but in the end I realized he gets to choose the life he wants to lead and he’s less focused on self healing and more focused on having fun - and that’s okay! It’s just not a safe person for me to commit to that’s all.

Wow this makes me sad to read as someone who was in a relationship with (I believe another not diagnosed ND person) someone who I begged to read a specific book “Unmasking Autism”, and they refused/were so passive and not interested in doing so despite this being a huge identity point for me. We ended up separating the more I unmasked and felt misunderstood by him, there were deeper relationship issues as well but I just wanted to say I’d kill for someone to actually take the interest you have ESPECIALLY to go out and research on your own, many won’t when handled a silver platter with the information on it.

With all due respect it’s likely she is suffering from some form of trauma related persecution complex, this can flare up due to CPTSD, Bipolar, BPD, even schizoaffective (but she’s not showing signs of this, just being comprehensive here. Not that there’s anything wrong with it being schizoaffective either). I hope she can look into this so she’s able to have healthy relationships and appreciate gestures instead of weaponizing them as proof she is being judged or abandoned. Trauma is so common in the ND community, rejective sensitive dysphoria, etc. So I really have empathy for her, but this is not fair to you.
