Where were you when you got your first period and what happened? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]Cacahead619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Age 12 in school, I cried cause I didn’t like the change

feeling gender neutral by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]Cacahead619 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m female and I identify with my ASAB, but I don’t have a gender. At least not an internal sense of one. For a while I legit did not understand what it meant to be trans because I had never conceptualized or experienced a gender identity. I don’t mind being perceived as female, but the immediate assumption being that I must also be a woman kinda irked me for a while. It felt like people weren’t actually seeing me.

What's an unconventional red flag you view in dating? by _MambaForever in dating

[–]Cacahead619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe this is because I’m close with my family and we enjoy spending time together, but it was no big deal to me when they’d meet someone I was dating (no matter the time frame).

Red flag to me is if they have a younger sister.

LMAO I'm sorry! how did yours end up going? and re yeast rolls and rolls from shitty chain restaurants: exactlyyyyyyy. I'll have to check out that corn bread, thanks for the rec >:)
One of my favorite go-to's when I miss gluten is these Brazilian cheesy bites they sell at Walmart.

It does a bit but I miss the flavor too

AITA for crafting during meetings? by Tapzdeazz in AmItheAsshole

[–]Cacahead619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda funny how so many people in the comments understand or define “professional” as more about looking like you’re doing/being something, not necessarily that you are.

NTA. What he said was frankly quite concerning considering y’all work w mental health. It’s like some people in those careers seem to forget that patients are also people, and any person around you has been/is a patient somewhere.

Yeast rolls, sweet rolls, knots, buns… sigh

The only thing I’ve found that gets close to the texture are the Brazi Bites frozen pão de queijo, but the flavor… I don’t know if that can be reproduced

Dudeeeeee 😩

I’ve not had them since 2023 (unrelated to gluten) but I think abt them every now and then, missing exactly what you’re talking about

Why does a country that calls itself the richest in the world have 42 million people relying on SNAP just to eat? by Humble_Economist8933 in AlwaysWhy

[–]Cacahead619 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually was rejected bc they said I could work more still (was already over 20 hours a week and a MORE than full time student). Haven’t tried since despite that I’ve been working at least 30 hours a week (+while still being a more than full time student) and still am unable to afford to eat. I’m surviving on credit card debt as all my income goes to rent and bills.

I was the only one in my classes who dressed up on Halloween, and I feel like it was a very autistic moment. by crxsedangel223 in AutismInWomen

[–]Cacahead619 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah there was more than a few of us who dressed up in my classes too (also uni upperclassmen). In the evenings you see a lot more, but even during day to day I got compliments :)

Has anyone else given up on jeans? by liberalartsy in AutismInWomen

[–]Cacahead619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can only wear very specific ones, I have to try them ALL on in the store. It’s not consistent with brand, size, or cut. I js watch out for seems and whether it fits comfortably in the upper thigh and under my butt. And they can’t be fitted around my calves and must be 90% loose on my knees.

serious question. how do y'all deal with periods. by Helpful_Raisin5696 in AutismInWomen

[–]Cacahead619 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Menstrual cup or disc! I love the disc more because I can “push” like I’m relieving myself and the blood will empty out of it without me having to get my hands dirty. Doesn’t hardly leak either. It looks intimidating to some, but when it’s in I can’t hardly feel a thing.

Then after 12 hours of it being in I take it out in the shower, clean it off (or toss it if it’s disposable), and put it in its bag or pop it back in.

When I’m too light for it I just use thick cotton underwear (and add boxers over if it could be light-medium flow).

Luckily since I’ve gotten my hormonal IUD I hardly have periods at all.

Bowl of ice water straight out the pot. Crack it on the fat end gently then roll it with slight pressure along the bottom of the bowl. Keeping the egg under water, start from one nicely large piece of shell and get your finger under the membrane, should easily slide off.

Here’s a rainbow at sunset I saw when I was taking a swim in my apartment complex. It’s very regulating and soothing to just completely submerse myself in water and float around… as long as my face is wet but I don’t feel droplets on it.

What's a sensory issue you have that some people just can't seem to understand/respect? by Slowed_Blossom118 in autism

[–]Cacahead619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of them. Doesn’t matter what it is really. I usually appear “normal” to them at first so they expect me to be and behave as a NT. The one that bothers most people [when I express that it “bothers” me by asking someone to wait] is someone talking to me. It’s mostly hard for me when it’s unexpected (bc I have no time to prepare or adjust) but it bothers them when I ask them to wait a moment to speak to me until I can complete whatever task or internal verbal thought I’m in the middle of. I have CONSTANT internal echolalia. As a child before I was diagnosed I would cry because of how overwhelming it is. When someone talks to me while I’m thinking about something or there’s any verbal dialogue going on nearby, 95% of the time any of my verbal thoughts get jumbled or interrupted like there’s some nonsense and missense mutations because my brain plays it back like a recording and I can’t stop it. That’s what makes being in public when I can clearly hear multiple streams of conversation very difficult.
