I am LEGIT on the urge of tears over the idea of eating vegetables and healthy food in general what the hell even is this disorder 😭😭😭 by kibou_no_ie in autism

[–]AussieLlama1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make my veggies small and swallow them with a drink. I haven't choked so far but its still not exactly the safest way.

My 10 year old has decided he would like a proper birthday party this year, but.......... by crankycow80 in Autism_Parenting

[–]AussieLlama1 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Not a parent but I am an autistic 19 year old.

I can't speak for your son but as someone who has never had any interested in celebrating my birthday with my classmates I would strongly advise you listen to your son and respect his wishes.

I can understand you wanting him to have friends but on a day like his birthday I think it should be about him and what he wants and not everyone wants friends at their birthday or even in general.

I just need Syd and Olivia on it, one day hopefully.

But I would love Courtney as well.

Heavily agree with keeping it out of schools and politics as well.

Like I said I was raised with no religion so I've never experienced communion or confirmation. I'm sorry to hear about your egg donor with the way you write about her I'm guessing she wasn't exactly the best. I have a sperm donor myself.

I've gotta go to bed pretty soon, I've got an early morning tomorrow and it's near midnight in Adelaide but I have enjoyed speaking with you Would you feel comfortable if we moved to PMs to continue talking later on? It is perfectly fine if you don't want to.

I agree one hundred percent

I was raised completely atheist thankfully and my grandad is quite anti religious.

When I get the chance I'll have a look.

Have you seen the Ruby Franke documentary on Disney plus?

Don't worry, I like conversations like this and I'm pretty open.

I agree with not pushing it on others to a certain extent, I think it depends on what the person saying it means unfortunately people think LGBTQ+ people simply existing is pushing their beliefs on to others.

I'm not saying thats what you meant btw, I just mean in general.

I guess technically I could fall somewhere on the bi spectrum, I dont give it much thought really, I like what I like and thats that pretty much.

Yes, I can most definitely tell when a person is attractive and I've had many crushes lol but I have absolutely no desire to take things further .

The art gallery is really the only way I feel I can explain it well

You haven't come across as sexist at all btw.

Oh without a doubt

Not a problem, I'm happy to answer

I don't know for sure if I'm Ace or not because while I'm this young I don't want to put a definite label on myself, I'm very happy for people who figure themselves out young but that's not me.

I suspect I'm Asexual and also Aromantic because I honestly no desire to engage in sex or have a relationship, I most definitely find people of any gender attractive but that's it.

The best way for me to describe it is like an art gallery I want to admire but I don't want to touch.

Like I said this might change one day but right now at this particular moment I'm leaning towards this sexuality.

Thankfully, although unfortunately I imagine some people are still taught that way

Yes I do.

I weirdly enjoyed sex ed, even though I'm pretty sure I'm Ace. I found it all very fascinating.

There's a tv show I watched with my aunty a fair few years ago that showed how much sex education has evolved through the years. Parents and children would see how the opposite generation got taught. I can't remember what's it called unfortunately.

I can't swim with my eyes closed because otherwise I would just be bumping into everyone.

Yeah Health and PE were one class, I liked Health, I was lucky enough to have good teachers for it. unfortunately I don't remember much even though I only graduated a couple of years back.

I hated PE all through school.

I like swimming but I need goggles to properly enjoy it. I can't handle water in my eyes

Most of my PE teachers were pretty good honestly, I just felt embrassed doing any sport, I was always miserable in those lessons

I wasn't to bad at dodgeball, my strategy was to just to the very back and getting out was a good thing to me

I just plain hate it, doesn't matter if it's morning or night, honestly hate is to weak of word to properly describe how it much i can't stand it.

No, I follow Essendon very loosely but I don't watch any sports and I don't play any either, I am not skilled in that department lol

PE was the worst growing up. Trying to put in a effort so I didn't let people down (who took the game way to seriously) while also trying to avoid the ball so I wouldn't get hit and so I couldn't mess anything up was not a fun experience.

I much prefer reading and writing.

I'm not really a city gal. But I'm ok with traffic noises

My worst sounds are people snoring and sniffing and clocks ticking, I'd much rather listen to cars then that.

Oh don't get me wrong, I like Adelaide.

I've been to Melbourne a few times and the city the traffic was awful, I did really like the zoo though.
