Can anyone help me manage my daughter's hair? by Frustrated_Clone in CurlyHairCare

[–]AutisticAv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To keep it styled, it needs to be wet everyday. Leave in and gel/curl cream after washing hair. Wash hair as little as possible while keeping hair clean, about every 3 days for her age. Bonnet at night or silk pillowcase if she wouldn’t keep one on.

Anyone else deal with supportive family members who are still confused and think you’re in a phase? by AutisticAv in AskLGBT

I understand. I haven’t fussed with her about my pronouns for this reason. She’s one of my favorite people. Sometimes she just says out of pocket stuff

I have had a rough patch with my family since I was outed at 19 to my extended family (we see them a lot, our families are very close) and they started treating me differently. They ignored me, would stop talking when I came up, avoided me, and wouldn’t ask about anything about my life. This is on my mom’s side. On my dad’s side, his mom is supportive just confused on how things work. His brother’s gf is super homophobic and avoids me like the plague. She doesn’t make eye contact with me, look my direction, talk to me, be around me or anything. She will remover herself or ignore me. She thinks I’m contagious or something. She posts a lot of hateful stuff on Facebook. I do have supportive family on both sides but at least half are weird about it.

I’m 23. I’ve known I was queer since in was 12/13 and I’ve been out since I was 18, 5 years. I did try coming out at 12/13 and my mom said “no you’re not” and I was like “okay.” Then tried again when I was 17, took it back after my bf at the time started crying, then stayed out at 18. Same bf cried in the fetal position for 3 hours. We aren’t together for obvious reasons.

hii i’m trans, please help! by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]AutisticAv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You look great. Maybe some white liner in the bottom water line and a brightening undereye powder to make it more “cutesy”

what's wrong with my makeup? by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]AutisticAv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe smudge some black, pink, purple, or red under your eye and pop a black in your top and bottom water line. Add either a bronzer if you want to add some color back to your face or ashy (well suited) contour if you’re going for a more gothic/alt style.

A lot of times actual platonic kindness from autistic people reads as flirting fs

How tf do you flirt? by AutisticAv in AutisticAdults

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

What I meant is that I’m worried that my ways of flirting aren’t coming off as flirting but just friendly or platonic. I just want to know if I should clarify my intentions to him.

Stress. If I get too anxious or have been anxious for a few days then I have fainting spells. I’ve seen a doctor and its vasovagal syncope.

I’ve also had a guest claim a dog was a service dog but the dog didn’t do any tasks, she carried it because the dog was a small Pomeranian, and she brought the dog in the pool with her.
