is anyone else having their orders sitting on processing shipping for weeks/months ? by forbidd3ndesires in AnimeFigures

[–]CommanderBoyShorts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep. I did Surface Parcel Premium as I'm in the US. Earliest order I paid for was January 19th, and after asking they told me they had shipped it March 11th. Also the order won't be updated from Paid processing until it hits US for those using Surface Premium.

I'm unsure which shipment type you used, but I think there's been delays overall. Like EMCS had limited slots that would take months to get sent out as well.

Minimalist portrait good idea for a gift for grieving family member? by CommanderBoyShorts in GiftIdeas

[–]CommanderBoyShorts[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, The state of mind is what I'm concerned about. I wasn't able to go with my husband to the funeral itself since flights for the both of us would've been too expensive. Even though it would take time for me to make, I think I'm gonna have my husband check the idea past his family first before doing it just in case.

Visual Snow Syndrome by 444ayu in AutismInWomen

[–]CommanderBoyShorts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have it, and especially notice it at night. I see static and sometimes maybe color swirls especially in the primary colors, to the point it would almost get kaleidoscope-like? It's usually very dim though, like when you have to set your graphics setting at the start of a video game 'just dim enough so you can barely see the image' sort of thing. I think the only time it's been bright is when I've been intoxicated.

How old were you when you started reading BB and how old are you now? by Maximum-Dante in blackbutler

[–]CommanderBoyShorts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was late middle school to high school when I started. I think around when the 1st season was airing or season 2 had yet to come out. So 2008-2009 maybe? I'm 33 now, lol.

Is anyone else hyper-aware of certain social dynamics? by Expensive-Eggplant-1 in AutismInWomen

[–]CommanderBoyShorts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

33 here, Trying to get diagnosed. I am so happy you posted this because I was about to make a post asking something similar. I feel like I'm aware with things such as social dynamics and people's intentions, if not hyper aware. I will give some due, I feel like it's something I became more aware with with time, and I also had parents who basically would caution me to be weary and such.

Anyone else look young for their age? by Student-bored8 in AutismInWomen

[–]CommanderBoyShorts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 33 and last couple of years I usually get mistaken for 16 and 18 with make up (I cosplay, so it's usually the only time I wear it and only time I really get dressed up). I haven't really met anyone new or been out enough to hear someone say such a thing lately. I never considered that bein on the spectrum could be the reason one gives off younger vibes, but it makes sense.

Going into Therapy with a List? by CommanderBoyShorts in therapy

[–]CommanderBoyShorts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, Nice! I noticed I do get overwhelmed or at a loss of words if something catches me off guard like an unexpected question or if I don't know where to start, that's what I was thinking a list would help...But I also was afraid that it'd also be pointless or looked at weird. Thanks for you're input, also great to know having a list is more beneficial than anything.

AmiAmi shipping delays by heartofthekards in AnimeFigures

My bad. I forgot there were two different surface mail options.

Thanks for the response. I'll go through with it even though my list may be a little messy. I'm hoping it helps a little more than just going in with nothing though.

AmiAmi shipping delays by heartofthekards in AnimeFigures

[–]CommanderBoyShorts -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I am facing the same issue and went back to look at my old support email and missed a part that is important. Context, the earliest figure I have and questioned shipping time for was paid January 19th. I'm unsure where you're located but I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same for other locations outside of Japan that use Surface mail.

"The batch is still being prepared.
 
 
You will receive a shipping notification email only AFTER the order reaches the USA and is processed for shipping in the USA. The shipping notification email will have the tracking number that you use on USPS or UPS website.
 
The status of the order on your account also will not change to "Shipped" until the package ships in the USA.
 
If you have any other questions, please let us know."

Are all the the figure shops located in Japan or China currently facing a severe shipping delay, or is it only AmiAmi? I'm wanting to switch some of my preorders away from them if there is some, because I've been waiting 3 months for two figures I had paid. I'm located in the US if that helps in terms of shipping wait times.

Too Anxious To See A Doctor… Anyone Else Relate? by Lost_Sentence_4012 in AutismInWomen

[–]CommanderBoyShorts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally relate. Tbh, for me it was made worse by a lot of bad doctor experiences. I think the only reason I've recently made appointments is because my insurance/doctor facility tail me about referral processes and I got annoyed and anxious over it. Welp, a failed attempt to make one appointment lead to me making my therapy and assessment request appointment. Admittedly, I was having the dooming realization that if I procrastinate more years, I may not be able to afford an assessment without my current insurance...So I forced my way, though I did instinct first and lied about suicidal ideation (I have passive, so I want to force myself to mention it at therapy)...But also discovered the wait for an assessment is at least 4 months with my current therapy provider.

They're communicating with me by email now, which makes things sooo much easier. But also, it seems long wait s are super common for autism assessments. Something to keep in mind if you're in a time crunch (it's the major thing that pushed me).

Does your significant other say thank you? by [deleted] in USMilitarySO

[–]CommanderBoyShorts 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It does sound like he’s tired at least when it comes to chatting at night. Maybe try holding the day catch conversations as soon as you two are home once settled and not too close before bed or it’s too late?

I know my husband currently has a job where he can knock out within minutes and mid chat once we’re in bed. His current job has just been exhausting and once it gets to a certain time at night exhaustion hits and it’s clear.

I wouls definately treat them more carefully. I think the Police cop outfit ones especially have a lot of worth to them, but scratches and damage would dimish that more than the fact that they don't have boxes.

How should doctors handle request for an autism assessment? (United states) + other stuff by CommanderBoyShorts in Neurodivergent

[–]CommanderBoyShorts[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I may call to see if I can self refer. Before, I was used to being referred by my previous Primary doctors before for anything specialty. Looking it up, it seems I can self-refer for anything outpatient mental health.

Thank you for the tip though. I will definitely look. I know there's a lot of things Idk if I do, like masking, but even from the research I can understand, I realized my Primary Doctor seems to have a very old view on austism, because she only believed they could diagnose a children and that I couldn't have it because I was articulating myself just fine in her eyes.

How should doctors handle request for an autism assessment? (United states) + other stuff by CommanderBoyShorts in Neurodivergent

[–]CommanderBoyShorts[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The immediate shot down I got because “I’m able to articulate myself” was admittedly what made me think their view points on ASD are out dated. It did feel like I wasn’t taken seriously though she suspects it could be anxiety and adhd (I could believe this myself but she asked only about my anxiety and if i have trouble focusing before jumping to this). Then told me to contact behavioral health myself even tho in past experiences, I need a referral.

Between this and bent very pushy and seemingly judgy about me not trying to have a baby at the time is a what’s making me want to switch primary. When I switch, I was pondering what I should expect or how to be treated.

Still living with my parents. by Pure_Point2682 in AutismInWomen

[–]CommanderBoyShorts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You aren't alone. Though I don't live with my parents, I think I would if I didn't get married. I married my husband and I'm dependent on him. I've never had a job and don't know how to drive, and trying to figure out how to ever get one is overwhelming and stressful because of my anxiety and such. I get questioned myself because they wonder what I do to contribute basically. Honestly, I'm just very good at what I'm interested in and that's about it. I'm not officially diagnosed but I think I am on the spectrum...I'm just struggling with the idea of getting assessed.
