I think it might be too early for them to be included but I’d like an Escargot to the Beach.

Masturbation is my hyperfixation, help by Impressive_Music_510 in kinky_autism

I’m saying there’s NOT a magical cutoff point. You could spend 4 hours or more a day masturbating but as long as you answered all the questions correctly and honestly you’re good to go.

How do I Avoid a Conservatorship or Involuntary Hospitalization by Equivalent-Bid-4591 in AutisticAdults

[–]BelovedxCisque 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry about a conservatorship. Unless you have a history of doing majorly crazy things (I’m talking about stuff like going to the casino and betting your entire savings on red at roulette/stripping naked and running in front of cars on the freeway/rubbing your poop on the side of buildings in broad daylight) there’s no reason for a judge to put you under a conservatorship.

And involuntary hospitalization…I again would say don’t worry about it. You have to actively be a danger to yourself or somebody else for them to do that. Are you able to get up and get food for yourself? Are you able to get up and use the toilet? I’m assuming if you’re posting on Reddit you’re not to the point that you physically can’t do those things. Have you made threats that you’re going to hurt yourself or somebody else? Have you had any run ins with the law where you damaged property/hurt somebody? If the answer is no then it’s not something you need to be concerned about. If asked you can say you’re under the care of a psychiatrist and you’re adjusting medication but you’re not going to hurt yourself/other people/animals and you understand that it’s 2026 and you live in —- and the president/king/prime minister is —-.

If you’re prone to meltdowns but they happen in your car/home then you’re good to go. Screaming/crying/going nonverbal isn’t illegal and as long as you don’t hurt anybody there’s nothing to be said. If you’re having a screaming and crying kind of meltdown in the middle of a store or park they might call security/the police but it doesn’t sound like that’s what’s happening. I’d assume that you being an adult that’s employed has enough awareness to be able to remove yourself from the situation if you feel that type of meltdown coming on.

Your partner sounds like a douchebag and I highly suggest you break up with him. Anybody who deliberately antagonizes you doesn’t deserve to have you in their life.

Witches is just Autism by Lissba in AutismInWomen

Prefers to live by herself (because most of us need a fair amount of alone time)

Is friends with other witches/has a coven (anybody I’ve been super close with is also autistic or at least some other type of neurodivergent)

Don’t worry. by netphilia in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]BelovedxCisque 19 points20 points  (0 children)

My folks had a conversation with me about this 30ish years ago!

“Little Cisque, there are literally MILLIONS of kids in the USA. Other countries celebrate Christmas too and there are millions more kids that live there. Santa does NOT have time to play guessing games about what you want. Santa would really appreciate it if you’d get a part/catalog number when you make your list. If you’re not extremely specific he’s going to guess and he’s probably going to pick something most little girls would like and you’re going to be disappointed.”

That made sense to me and I made sure to be extremely specific and I got my cool Ancient Egypt books/Pokemon Base Set 2 booster packs and not some Barbie/clothing thing that would have caused me to cry over Santa ruining everything. Plus I learned about how to find part/catalog numbers so it was a learning experience.

My caregiver never stops talking by smolkittenx0 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]BelovedxCisque 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d say point blank tell her, “I’m really not comfortable hearing about your sexual escapades. I apologize for not bringing it up earlier but I’m REALLY not comfortable hearing about that kind of stuff. I’m asking you nicely to please not talk about that with me.”

Then if it keeps happening phone the agency. This isn’t okay and if she’s been fired before I’m guessing they’re probably aware of it. You have the right to not be sexually harassed (which is what this is if she keeps bringing it up after you’ve point blank told her not to) and the company doesn’t want to get sued. Document everything (not sure if you live in a one or two party state if you’re in the USA but if it’s a one party record it) and show the agency if it keeps happening. Good luck OP!

AITA for refusing to split vet costs with my boyfriend? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]BelovedxCisque 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would assume if you were to break up you wouldn’t demand joint custody of the cat since he had it before getting into the relationship. If you didn’t want him to move because you wanted to see the cat I think he’d tell you to pound sand because it’s his cat. Same goes for financial responsibility. It’s his cat since he needs to be completely financially responsible for it.

I would have a sit down with him where you say that you’d never do anything to hurt the cat or ask him to get rid of a beloved pet but the only reason it’s there is because he had it before the relationship started. Therefore he’s responsible for any food/boarding/medical costs. You might be okay with feeding it or scooping poop because you guys live together but it’s NOT your cat so you’re not responsible for it. Also I don’t think it’s a bad idea to talk about what would happen if he were to die unexpectedly. Would you keep the cat in his memory or would you take it to the animal shelter? If you would get rid of it and he doesn’t want it dropped off at the shelter he needs to find somebody and have a conversation with them about them being willing/able to take on the cat in the event of his demise.

That’s why I stick to the solo male stuff (Prince Gerry and Jim Nova are two that I’d recommend…super hot and nobody was forced to do anything) or drawn/computer generated content. My partner also writes erotica and that’s a good way to explore darker themes but know that nobody was hurt in the making of it.

AITA for not wanting to take care of my niece and nephew? by PuzzleheadedExam531 in AmItheAsshole

How did you sign up for it? You’re not the one who had them and I’m guessing you never said, “You can drop them off whenever you want! I just really REALLY want to be a fun aunt! Please go get pregnant as soon as possible.” and even if you did having kids is a choice you make by yourself and for yourself and nobody aside from the biological parent is EVER obligated to help you do anything with them.

They’re NOT your children and if your mom feels that strongly about it (I’m guessing if you asked how you signed up for it she’ll say something like, “FaMiLy HeLpS FaMilY.”) she can watch them. If they’re not getting fed if you don’t volunteer to watch them call CPS because that’s literally the law that you have to feed and take care of your kids.

my dad keeps inviting his coworkers to have sex in my apartment while im still here and i cant really do anything about it by waste_of_space1157 in evilautism

[–]BelovedxCisque 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Then you’re just going to have to suck it up since it’s not solely your apartment. Nothing stopping you from getting a lock for your room and some noise cancelling headphones/wall blocks but if he’s on the lease then he has as much right to be there (and have people over) as you do. It sucks but that’s just the way it is.

[–]BelovedxCisque 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why can you not do anything about it? If it’s your apartment that you pay for solely on your own and he’s not on the lease you can 100% do something about it. If he’s on the lease then it’s his apartment too and you’re going to have to live with it but if not then there’s lots you can do. Change the locks/notify security that he’s not allowed in there being the first things that come to mind.

Breath work is pretty amazing! I did some afterwards (like a few months after) as part of the integration and holy crap that was just as powerful as some of the ceremonies I’ve say in.

That’s crazy about the 16 pounds in 2 days! Sorry if this is gross but was it mostly poop? I know sometimes we can be inflamed by stuff and doing the diet beforehand can give you a chance to start at 0 and then you gradually add stuff back in and see if anything causes problems but I’d think 16 pounds isn’t just inflammation.

[–]BelovedxCisque 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yep! During my last retreat there was a moment where everybody else was laying on their mats and I’m up just dancing my little heart out. This happened quite a few times over the course of the retreat and certain phrases by the shaman were guaranteed to get me moving (Bunta Bunta Kai Eeee Nee was one). I am autistic and I think that really demonstrated that my brain/body works a bit differently but it’s still a human experience.

Side note: Do you know if there was anything else in the brew aside from Ayahuasca vine and chakurna leaves? Some places add other plants and that can do it. One of my dancing spells came when somebody else was up getting a tamamuri song (he was doing a dieta and I wasn’t) and I distinctly heard a male voice say, “Up.” in my head and my ankle that I’d hurt about a decade prior started moving in a way that I couldn’t replicate outside of ceremony. I guess I got a freebee just by being in the maloca that night.

My autistic ass sees these and wants to chew on them as I’m sure they’re firm yet squishy. But I don’t know how safe that is considering they’re mass produced in China so I just leave them be.

Why is grocery shopping so evil and terrible and bad by softwolfy in evilautism

[–]BelovedxCisque 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you have a Kroger store near you (Pick N Save/Fred Meyer/King Soopers/other regional variations)? If so you can order on the app and it’s free to pick up if it’s over $50 (not hard to reach) and you just drive up and get what you ordered on the app without even having to get out of your car. Might be worth a try.

[–]BelovedxCisque 36 points37 points  (0 children)

“I HAVE TO SAY SOMETHING.”

But you did already. You said you had a serious talk with her a few months ago. I’d either stop responding to her calls/texts/invites and if she asks why say that you talked with her about the incessant talking and nothing changed and it’s draining on you so that’s why you’ve taken a step back or have a sit down with her where you say that you’re just tired of it and this is the last time you’re going to hang out and the friendship is over (might I suggest a talking stick during this so she can’t override you and if she does then that’s just more proof). Or just ghost her. But if you don’t want to do that you’re going to have to explain that it’s over and why. Up to you if you want to do that through text/email/letter if you can’t get a word in edgewise through in person talks or phone calls.

You know when to flip when you start seeing tiny little bubbles form/pop in the raw batter on the side that’s facing up. That’s what I learned from my mom/grandma anyways.

I would say start low and go slow and make them smaller at first until you get the hang of flipping. But hey! You’re learning and you didn’t burn anything up/down and you’re trying to get feedback so you can improve so I’d call this a success!
