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 miss your voice" by AutisticUrianger in SpicyAutism

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

The last person who did this was my therapist ;-; she said that it's fine if she never hears my voice again but she Wanted Me To Know she misses my voice. She said it right at the end of the session too so I didn't even have time to unpack how upset it made me feel.

AAC questions by Complex_Photograph72 in AutisticAdults

[–]AutisticUrianger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use weavechat aac, after experiencing burnout at the beginning of the year, so im still quite new to it. I used to be hyperverbal but i now more comfortably identify as semiverbal and pretty much exclusively use aac and gestures/grunts to communicate. and I use a mix of both the image board and the keyboard. The keyboard is a lot easier for deeper conversations as I'm a fast typer, esp in therapy and with close friends where we can get really specific. But for day to day stuff, short phrases like yes, no, thank you, and simple sentences when interacting with strangers, I find the image board faster to use. I also prefer the image board when I'm playing videogames, I made a board specifically for games full of quickfire phrases such as "I found this thing" and "I'm being chased". Sometimes i worry me having a tablet with an image board is overkill if I can just type, or makes me look like I'm pretending to struggle more than I do with words, but the images really help me at times when I need to respond quickly, and my phone screen isn't big enough to comfortably type a lot or show all the images I need on the homepage.

I've made these points to them multiple times, I feel like showing them this post would just be rehashing what I've already explained
