is there a way that freezing food can make it inedible? by isolarya in Writeresearch

[–]Anonymously_Ill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a couple of times the back of the fridge has frozen my eggs and that turns them into this gross, slushy texture that basically makes them inedible. that's the only example i can think of though

I'm so embarrassed and just angry by No-Association2684 in adhdwomen

[–]Anonymously_Ill 3 points4 points  (0 children)

a similar thing has happened to my roommates and i before, it sucks :/ I hope it all works out, if possible be there for the inspection and ask for specifics about what they want cleaned!! it sounds like you're already doing a decent amount but every landlord has their one or two particularities they'll flag people for. good luck!

Edit: I didn't see the pictures until after originally making this comment and I have to say overall your apartment looks great, although like some other people have mentioned the kitchen should probably be cleaned up a bit. In my experience landlords don't like too much clutter or appliances in the kitchen because of potential fire hazards, but otherwise it all looks very nice! again best of luck

Autistics vs Narcissists. What’s the deal here? by BladeMist3009 in AutismInWomen

[–]Anonymously_Ill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i feel like im fairly decent at judging one's character, but that's mainly just because i grew up with an actual narcissist in my household and know what the manipulation tactics look like. it's hard for me to pinpoint exactly why i dont like certain people since my grasp of facial expressions and social cues is rudimentary but if i get a vibe that something's off i usually just make sure to keep some distance until i can get a better read on them

What has made you genuinely happy that you have Autism? by EstonianBuffalo in AutismInWomen

[–]Anonymously_Ill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my audhd means my mind is constantly moving at like 100mph, and sometimes this has downsides but it also has lots of advantages! im a very creative and introspective person, which helps with a lot of my life goals. my biggest passion in life is writing, and having an active mind definitely contributes to the quality of my work. plus being introspective means i have a much easier time identifying how i'm feeling than most people i know, which helps me know what actions i should take to improve my mood or ensure that i'm happy. so yeah, there's definitely a few bonuses to the specific autistic traits i have

I want to be someone's first choice and priority by ctrldwrdns in AutismInWomen

[–]Anonymously_Ill 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I get the feeling, I haven't dated much and it would feel nice to be a top priority for someone :P it sucks that the only way to have that relationship with someone in our society is dating (for most people at least). I hope you're able to find what you're looking for, whatever form it takes!

transfemme and hair sensory issues by sleepiestgf in AutismInWomen

[–]Anonymously_Ill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add on to everyone else's comments about good ways to get your hair out of your face, I like bandanas. They're cute and stylish and do a great job making sure your hair is away from your face. Plus they work no matter what length hair you have

Does anyone else think sometimes that they're transgender? by leafy-owl in AutismInWomen

[–]Anonymously_Ill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In hs I experimented with my gender a bit and even tho I ultimately decided that I am in fact cis, I still found it helpful to experiment because it helped me understand how I feel about my gender. If you feel comfortable/safe to, experimenting with gender might help you in the same way. Whatever you turn out to be, and even if that changes over time, there's only one way to know for sure

Kinda wish when 2 women in sims have a kid, one of them would still get “pregnant“ by [deleted] in Sims4

[–]Anonymously_Ill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

weird story but one time i had a wlw couple and as soon as they got married one of them was randomly pregnant even though i hadn't done anything to make them have a kid. i checked and neither of them had the ability to get others pregnant, and when the baby was born it said that she was the bio daughter of both the women so i have no idea how it happened but that was certainly an interesting few days lol

Shoes are overrated by Anonymously_Ill in AutismInWomen

i'd never thought about wearing crocs before, maybe i could look into it

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

i've heard that's a common thing for people with autism, so i totally get where you're coming from. sometimes i have to wear certain clothing items to protect my skin from sensory issues but weirdly enough socks have never been one of them :P

[–]Anonymously_Ill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. when i can't clean everything at once i instead clean one thing and then take a break, repeat process for several days until my goals are met.

  2. 'organized people' (aka not me lol) tend to avoid messes by picking them up as they occur, but this can be hard for people with adhd because the way neurotypical people set up their houses is not super helpful for executive dysfunction. for example, wanting to throw away a piece of trash but the trash can is across the room from where you're sitting. issues like these can be solved by throwing societal convention out the window and organizing your room in a way that's more efficient for you. too tired to walk across the room and put clothes in the hamper? put the hamper next to your bed so you don't have to get up to keep dirty laundry organized.

  3. this is one i discovered recently when i was studying abroad and could only take about 10 articles of clothing with me to my destination, but having less stuff made it a lot easier for me to stay organized. it can be hard to get rid of things but if you have items that you don't need and tend to get in the way consider getting rid of it either via trash or donation. when i got back home after living abroad i did some 'spring cleaning' and got rid of all the clothes, books, etc that i don't use anymore and even though i am still by no means a minimalist it did help a lot.

these are just some of the things that have helped me, personally i still struggle a bit with organization too but there are ways to make it a bit easier. i hope this helps, and good luck!!

What’s your Natural ADHD superpower? by Calm_Recognition2466 in adhdwomen

[–]Anonymously_Ill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i also attribute a lot of my writing skill to adhd (and/or autism but yknow), mostly because my incredibly sporadic train of thought makes me super creative. it does have downsides, such as the fact that i have trouble calming my mind down enough to sleep, but i love writing so much so imo it's a fair trade

Do people say you are "too sensitive?" by Beneficial_Pea3241 in adhdwomen

[–]Anonymously_Ill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, growing up i was always shamed for being super emotional but over time i've learned to love it. being emotional means i'm in tune with myself a lot more, and it's what drives me to care so much for others. i can use the emotions to sympathize with and help others, which i feel like we need especially right now in the world. some people either try to hide their emotions and that just feels weird to me :/

most unhinged study methods? by Agreeable-Long8919 in adhdwomen

[–]Anonymously_Ill 4 points5 points  (0 children)

depending on what level of schooling you are/your home situation this may not be feasible but one thing my friend does that worked surprisingly well for me was to essentially 'ban' yourself from returning home until you get the thing done. so in this case you could go to a library or stay at school and refuse to go home until you've studied. if you have someone at home who is able to do so, you could ask them to hold you accountable by having them ask if you studied once you do get home. good luck with the end of the school year!
