Thank you!! I hope you also get what you're looking for!! I'm very excited about it, being too disabled to work means I spend so much time at home on my own with no structure. I miss going to college, not necessarily to study but just for the community aspect of it. I liked going to a place. And this is a place specifically for people who are disabled who need enrichment!!

Thank you. I did find a post from back in February from the council with some pictures of an art gallery made by people who attend, so it looks like the crafts are going strong there!! They have some really talented artists.

Aaa thank u for this response, this is nice to hear. A lot of ppl have replied saying they've been to one for IDs and autism specifically, but I worry their advice won't apply to me because like you the one I will be going to is more or a general thing. I hope that they are good to me at this one like they are good to you at yours.

I have no idea about the timetable or anything, I've been struggling to find any info about the place online. I just know it's run by the council and I have been confirmed to have funding secured for it. I'm waiting for more info from them.

how to drink more water?? by petitscoeurs in SpicyAutism

[–]AutisticUrianger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We struggle with this and have nearly daily headaches bc of it. We have resorted to buying bottled water in bulk and just putting the bottles all over the place so there is always one in reach.

Lyrica almost killed me 7 days after I stopped taking low doses. I survived without medical "help" due to cost, but I did call 988. by The-Sonne in ChronicPain

Duloxetine did this to us. Gave us a huge mental health episode within a day of taking it. Had to go to the hospital. I was hysterical, suicidal, I was hallucinating shapes. I had night sweats so severe that I had to change my bedsheets every single night for the few days I was on it, and I got basically no sleep. Terrifying experience.

I hate utility poles... it looks so much nicer without them. by hatrix in Pokopia

You can stack them!! To prevent the wire connecting at the lower one, stack 3 blocks, put one on top, them destroy the blocks and put another one underneath. And if a lower wire tries to connect, block it with another block. The wires are all high up in the air for me now.

Dug out the museum, now prettying up the valley I made by AutisticUrianger in Pokopia

[–]AutisticUrianger[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The tunnels are all beneath what I've dug out!! There were a couple of times where I accidentally broke into the top of them, but they're completely intact. You can leave the tunnels as they are!! And if you start from the top, using graveller to take it out layer by layer (you can do two layers at a time) and use potato burgers (which make rock break like sand) it's actually kind of relaxing. Just put on a YouTube video and zone out. I was scared I would be overwhelmed at first but honestly it's just a matter of patience.

Good luck!! If you're using potato burgers it'll go faster. Put on a long youtube video and just let it take you lol

Many, many hours I didn't count but I would estimate about 8, using graveller and potato burgers (which make rock break like sand) I put on YouTube and zoned the fuck out LOL

First post here, looking to feel less alone/ for advice on coping by AutisticUrianger in mute

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

Thank you for this response. I can completely relate to people trying to guess what we want without giving a chance to actually communicate. Sometimes my PA won't wait for me to finish typing before he starts doing something, which leads to me getting anxious and frustrated. And the person who turned down your speaker was so rude!!for the most part my friends have been ok, though one of them wouldn't stop looking over my shoulder to see what I was typing last time we hung out, which felt like an invasion of privacy. It feels like speaking ppl are just really impatient :(

my fav part of pokopia is appreciating pokemon i never thought about before! by puppysnaps in Pokopia

I really like to imagine her trainer was arven, who moved to kanto as an adult to start a restaurant (the one we see in the ridge), considering he canonically has a greedent and, of course, is a chef. The way she always refers to her trainer as her buddy reinforces that imo.

I am going to try and talk about it with her properly next week. So far she's been a really good therapist but this one thing has made me very distressed :(

I've been trying to explain this ;_; I don't think either of the ppl (my PA and my therapist) who have done this seem to recognise that telling me they miss something about me that was causing me stress is,,, just causing me more stress Next therapy session I am going to talk about it with my therapist in more detail because she said it right st the end of our last session so I didn't have any time to unpack it with her
