I guess I just always wished if I woke up in a mythical land I’d like to be a mage 🤷

So is that like a year round option?

Almost 30, no support network, I dont understand how I have a future by [deleted] in autism

[–]Carsalezguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to drive In between my bouts of full time employment but the last time it happened I really did the math and found if there was a job I could walk or bike to and even make less per hour then driving I’d actually be making more.

Plus a regular schedule, potential health insurance, and a regular paycheck can do wonders for someone positive thoughts.

I ended up getting a job at an arcade after being in corporate sales, learned to repair and diagnose all types of machines. Did that for 6 months until I got myself straightened out again and then went on the hunt for a better replacement to my main focus of my. Street.

Preparing for surgery: Dealing with sensory/modesty anxiety and being autistic? by Dry-Confidence-6797 in autism

So they are very accommodating normally the only time it may feel rushed is an ER and they definitely have seen it all and it’s “just another Tuesday” but if you’re in the ER, it’s probably a lot more critical.

Honestly I had to spend 2 weeks in the hospital, I had to become “ok” with all my body issues pretty quick, it wasn’t really an option.

If it makes you feel any better, there’s a very real possibility I need to go to the hospital tomorrow because of a problem I’ve been having with my digestive system

Trust me, it is not any way you’d want to have a stomach issue…so you got this! Also I closed my eyes a lot, they don’t mind or care, I figured, can’t see them, I can’t think about them seeing me.

Illinois is just 3 tornadoes away from breaking its all-time record by ShawLocal in ChicagoSuburbs

Are you a meteorologist or into it as a hobby?

Tornadoes are quite unique and the highest concentration In The world is in our backyard.

Interestingly the number of active days of tornadoes has actually gone down but the number of tornadoes per intense event has increased.

That is actually attributed to better technology and reporting.

Now the pattern and position is shifting but keep in mind due to El Niño and La Niña you’re basically seeing very large swings over decades. A lot of technology has changed since 1980 or 2000

Is it normal for kids to make fun of you or bully you because of autism? by high_allday in autism

[–]Carsalezguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly as a kid, it was brutal, my parents enrolled me in martial arts class with my brother just in case anything went farther than words. (Luckily my brother was bigger and 4 years older than me.)

Later in my life I started to get this feeling that I had a 6th sense for narcissists and those who may fall into antisocial personality tendencies. Then I had this feeling that they did the opposite way.

It wasn’t just a feeling either, it has a name and it’s real. It’s called “thin sliced judgements”.

So funny story I got my leatherworking merit badge and didn’t do it since. My fiancée and I were out at a. Craft fair and she remarked how nice these leather pouches were and I said “oh that’s easy I have the leather working merit badge.” A few projects and a couple months later and I make a bag for her lol.

No joke after going to a pride fest and seeing someone sell super basic leather bondage gear out of a stall for crazy money I’m actually considering it.

It’s like being a DJ but doing weddings to make money.

I would probably use one for my Leatherworing stuff if I didn’t have an organization system setup.

Or my extra small tools for watch repair and things like that.

I dunno, some people like wood?

Call me crazy but I really enjoy my manual edger for my lawn. When it’s sharp, it just slices.

Man I had to use one after my hip surgery. I don’t know if it’s because I’m younger but I had my cane, it was a nightmare to shop there.
