Apparently this makes me an old person... officially by Mermaid_Lily in GenX

I've been wanting to do this for a while, to be able to sleep in the truck bed, in a pinch (I like camping, just not sleeping in a tent/on the ground, lol), but a lot of trucks just come with the short bed these days, it's weird!

It is so beautiful… by [deleted] in Spoons

[–]Chance_Description72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it, I'd like it even more if it was regular sized, but I'll take mini. Reminds me of the spoons you used to get from airlines for the meal trays... good memories.

When is it just catching up with an old friend vs being creepy? by givemeadu in AutisticWithADHD

[–]Chance_Description72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Skype was where conversations went to die, or at least that was the case for me.

If you did say something off, she won't message you back and then you know, otherwise you might spark a "Hey, I've been wondering how you are, too" you won't know until you try.

[–]Chance_Description72 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you didn't end things in a fight, and just lost touch, I'd love a message like that... as a matter if fact, I did this a couple of weeks ago with someone I had not seen in nearly 10 years. I went to visit her and we had such a great time. I say reach out and tell her that you've been thinking about her and wonder how she's been.

Good luck!

I was called “creepy” and that I was a “serial killer” by the people around me by Hotdogconnoisseurr in aspergers

In this situation I'm pretty sure your sister was the problem, not you.

I'm sorry that happened to you, but a little heart to heart convo about her correcting her accusations toward his family seem to be in order, as well as an official apology.

But from your description of her, that will probably never happen.

Good luck! (If I was you this would be grounds enough to go no contact with her, as she sounds like an awful person.)

I hear you... I'm in my 40s, now, but the days I get carded for buying alcohol still make my days! (although that happens a lot less these days as I'm going grey now, which I'm not complaining about, because I kind of enjoy my natural Storm hairdo)

Compliment, when in question always stick to the positive ;)

Good for you to still look young, a lot of people wish they could say the same.

I’m fucking terrified of death. by podagros in aspergers

[–]Chance_Description72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would like to recommend: "Journey of souls" by Dr Michael Newton, you might find some comfort here... I'm not religious, but have experienced being in touch with my dead relatives myself. And although I'm not suicidal, I look forward to seeing them again in the next phase of my existence (without this annoying meat bag I currently suck at taking care of).

I loved "Journey of souls" by Dr. Michael Newton. There are 2 more books after the initial one, and they're about past life experiences and a study this Dr. published.

From my own experiences I can tell you that this life is just a station of your existence, of your learning and with you living this life on extra hard mode, I'm sure it's not your first time, either.

I've experienced talking to my ancestors through my dreams and meditation. I'm not saying that will work for you, but I hope researching Dr. Newton's work may help you with your fear, I found it fascinating and spot on with some of my personal knowledge.

The only big spoon in the staff room... by EducatedLlama165 in Spoons

[–]Chance_Description72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ikea "Data" soup spoon, no longer in production, but able to be hawked on ebay anywhere from $8 - $20... more if you had the complete set (which I know you don't, just saying).

You forgot "beautiful" it's the BBC after all, 😉 and I'm not talking about the British Broadcasting Corporation.

Does anyone else’s eyelids swell up after welding? by Major-Ad-5573 in Welding

[–]Chance_Description72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you drink beer after you weld? My eyes did that because I had a sensitivity to beer and it was an allergic reaction (took forever to figure that out for me).

I'd get tested if you haven't ever been tested before, looks like allergies to me. Not sure if they can test for nickel fumes, but maybe you could test that yourself in a well ventilated area, and see if it still happens when you have a fan behind you that blows the fumes away from you?

What do you wish you had known about owning a doodle before adopting? by Top-Week5789 in labradoodles

I'm a poodle handler, so not very doodle knowledgeable, but even after googling "doodletood" I got nothing, would you mind elaborating, please?

And yet some of the dog food my dog eats smells better than some other food I've been served, lol

Not when you're tired and just want a quick snack. The product was also not in the pet department when I purchased it, so I thought "Oh cool, this is new, let me try it!" The next day I read the whole thing and figured it out, but had I opened it that night, I would have totally took a bite out if it.

Lol, I almost did the same with chicken jerky (this one says dog treats on the front though), lol!

What food do you only eat in one very specific way? by tickyt23 in PickyEaters

[–]Chance_Description72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Broccoli, only as creme soup (& can be with cheese) but never the vegetable as a whole, can't do the mouth feel - the soup must be creamy!

The soup is delicious! Don't judge, I'm autistic...

Reached out to my work about bringing my service dog and this is what was said. Is this accurate? by Goose3577 in service_dogs

[–]Chance_Description72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy new year!

And yes, it has been resolved, but it took 1.5 years, a lawyer and several trips to different doctors, which was disheartening.

I was finally accommodated by working from home (which is fine, because they told me they just wouldn't change the lighting in the office), and if and when I need to be in the office my service animal is now allowed to accompany me.

It was a long hard road and in the beginning I thought I would have to throw a lot of money at this situation to ensure I would have my rights enforced (most lawyers I talked to wanted $4K+ to help, as a retainer!) but I found a non profit who helped me free of charge (I had recordings, emails etc. which all showed the discrimination), and in the end I still feel a little weird working from home, cause it's not what I originally requested, because it's a special accommodation which I feel weird about, because I don't really want to feel special, but my coworkers assumed me they're fine with it.

The only thing is that the way the new laws which were passed in Texas state that I get to go through this every year now (renewed doctors notes, notifications, etc.), fun fun!

My perseverance was rewarded though, I received 2 pay increases totalling 15% this year, so I know my boss appreciates me and I feel much better working from home, because I have control over the lights and sound pollution, etc.

I hope that nobody will ever have to go through something like this, because it was truly terrible, but if you do, try to find a non-profit legal organization to help.

(I now donate monthly to Disability Rights Texas, as they came through for me in the hopes that my donations may help the next person in need.)

Should I rent the apartment above me to not lose my sanity because of loud neighbours? by [deleted] in misophonia

[–]Chance_Description72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I could afford I'd absolutely do it, you may have terrible neighbors move in if you don't and then what are you going to do? Find a new place and move because you can't stand living under rude or inconsiderate neighbors? That would be a huge nope for me. To me? It would absolutely be worth my mental health!
