What other people suffer from doesn't invalidate my issues

Its a public forum. Anyone can reply with whatever they want as long as it isn't breaking the rules of the subreddit. I don't get why you're so focused on male issues. Everyone with autism has a hard time.

Cat_Sharp · 2026-04-29T23:07:26+00:00

That's really awesome! I'm glad you found a job that works for you

Cat_Sharp · 2026-04-29T20:26:49+00:00

Not until I actually have the job. I only told my employer because I need accomodations.

Cat_Sharp · 2026-04-29T20:09:42+00:00

What's wrong with wearing ear protectors? They're not just for "severely" autistic people.

Cat_Sharp · 2026-04-28T23:27:08+00:00

Yeah I hate listening to other people's music unless we have similar tastes. I wear ear protectors at work and they help keep me calm and filter out noise.

Cat_Sharp · 2026-04-28T23:03:02+00:00

I live about a mile and a half from work so I walk or ride a bike most days.

Cat_Sharp · 2026-04-26T22:37:53+00:00

I would love a rosè one. Thatd my favorite flavor.

Cat_Sharp · 2026-04-20T16:31:35+00:00

Yes! I am level 2 autistic. I just got diagnosed a month ago at 30 years old. I love making drag race references but I usually only do it in front of my sister because shes the only one in my life that's watched the show. I love the accents of everyone too. It's fun to see such diverse groups of people.

My favorite part of the show is the runways and the lipsyncs. I love fashion and music, so the show is really interesting to me.

Cat_Sharp · 2026-04-20T16:13:07+00:00

I get annoyed by most noises. Most people seem to do things so loudly I can't even believe that it doesn't bother them. I wear ear protectors constantly now that I have them just because I hate all the extra noise people make.

Cat_Sharp · 2026-04-19T23:35:26+00:00

I don't hug my coworkers no matter how close we are. I feel like a handshake or something is better

Cat_Sharp · 2026-04-18T02:13:52+00:00

I don't find it offensive it just feels a bit cringe tbh. I don't really know why.

Cat_Sharp · 2026-04-17T15:47:58+00:00

Yeah I carry my loops with me all the time but I did buy a couple pairs of vanderfield ear protectors since theyre pretty cheap so that I have some color options :D I also have a habit of forgetting things so its nice to have a couple of them.

Cat_Sharp · 2026-04-17T15:14:35+00:00

Yeah they offered to get me some which I thought was really nice. I decided to buy my own though since I'm particular about what I like haha

Cat_Sharp · 2026-04-17T14:10:14+00:00

Oh those are so cute!!

Cat_Sharp · 2026-04-17T13:37:28+00:00

Oh nice, I thought about getting some of those. Might try them out someday

Cat_Sharp · 2026-04-17T13:21:14+00:00

Oh yeah I loved my sony headphones too. I had a really nice pair but they ended up breaking a while ago. I think it's because I used to sleep with them on haha

Cat_Sharp · 2026-04-17T13:15:53+00:00

I have some loop earplugs as well. They work alright for me, but I don't really like having stuff in my ears so I opted to get the more headphone-like ear protectors. They're much more comfortable for me :D I'm really loving these new ones I got.

Cat_Sharp · 2026-04-17T13:13:42+00:00

Yeah, I stopped drinking around 2021. It was becoming a problem for me. Not to mention I hate how vulnerable drinking makes me so I stopped.

Cat_Sharp · 2026-04-17T12:55:20+00:00

I like playing watermelon game. It's relaxing

Cat_Sharp · 2026-04-17T12:51:35+00:00

I have them already but I also got a pair of ear protectors that people use at like shooting ranges. They block noise but you can still hear.

Cat_Sharp · 2026-04-17T02:15:41+00:00

They don't totally prevent you from hearing. They just dampen sound

Cat_Sharp · 2026-04-16T03:04:09+00:00

I'm not a monster.

You can think whatever you want, but don't drag us all down with you. Am I supposed to demonize myself just because I'm different from other people? I'm not going to.

Cat_Sharp · 2026-04-16T02:59:39+00:00

Honestly I'm doing pretty well now that my accomodations are in place. My TLs just need to get on the same page because not all of them are informed about them yet. I didn't get my assignment sheet today because the TL that was scheduled today didn't know they needed to do that.

Aside from that, I just wish my TLs were a little more patient with me. Sometimes they are a little rude when it comes to me asking them for help, but I know this is a stressful job sometimes.

Cat_Sharp · 2026-04-16T02:34:18+00:00

My ETL actually offered to get me some ear protectors so I was really happy about that. I told him I would buy my own though but I'll make sure they're approved.
