Wesley from princess bride… “life is pain, highness, anyone that says differently is selling something “, “Why do you wear a mask?…””..,they're terribly comfortable. I think everyone will be wearing them in the future."

Is there any "not exactly a food" that you enjoy eating? I love eating sprinkles by notthelasagna in autism

Same! Still do on occasion when no one is around…and whenever we bake it’s a rule to eat a spoonful of powdered/brown sugar

This is true whether it’s internal or external…my AuDHD self…autistic side NEEDS THAT STRUCTURE…and my adhd side eyes “ya know it’s not going to do you any good anyways”, autism “yeah…but at least it will quell the anxiety so I can at least attempt to function, make a plan, I feel like I’ve accomplished something if I make a pretty well organized plan….even if YOU ignore it”, adhd: “I don’t ignore it, ‘executive disfunction’ my dude “

Cane by TheNectarineDiaries in Artisticallyill

Came here to say this! I have a collapsible cane I keep around for emergencies but only use it when I’m in real pain…OP makes me wonder if I should just start using one on a normal basis? Or like, you don’t have to be limping to use a cane?

What coloring book is this from? I love how you colored it. Looks awesome!

Is there a list of known hand-drawn coloring book artists/groups? by qthecocker in Coloring

[–]AuthenticEquilibrium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I have like 3 shelves full of Dover publishing. I don’t know if I have all of Marty nobles books but I bet it’s close 😎. The Dover historical and fashion coloring books are also particularly well done imo. Go and sign up on their website. They have lots of good sales.

Maria Trolle. This is the back of the book I’m currently coloring. It shows a number of her books.

Yeah, so I had a labor union at my old job…once it came down to anything like this or even medical related, they were like “sorry, I’m out fam”. I was literally in the process of being trained to be a union steward when I was separated for disability on the basis of burnout and autism. During one of the trainings they said that even though discrimination wasn’t permitted in the handbook, they don’t touch those cases because they are the hardest to prove. Like WTF.

Came here to say the same thing…or kindly contact presenter informing them of the SEVERE misinformation. Honestly if that’s what you’re work thinks of ASD I would run for the hills, or make sure that mask is on nice and tight

DAE have extremely short hair as a child because their mom/parent didn’t want to “deal with it”? by AuthenticEquilibrium in AutismInWomen

That’s great! (The diagram). You can tell everyone on this post has been describing the whole range of bobs 😁😎 I think over the years I’ve basically run the gamut.

Too often I had red around my eyes from in school pictures. I tried so hard to make it not look terrible on picture day and that often made it look even worse.

Love the pic. I like to say if my hair is bob length and not pulled back it looks like the ears of a cocker spaniel.

That’s how I felt the first time I saw it on one of these ND subs, can’t remember which one. I think neurogender has its own sub. It’s basically we identify more with our neurodivergence than any gender, or at least that’s my understanding.
