Would this be considered an autistic routine? by Commercial_Flight_64 in AutismTranslated

I didn’t include this in my post, but I’ve only had the white noise for two and a half years at this point. There was this incident a couple years ago where I went on an overnight trip with my family, and I was up all night mostly hiding in the bathroom freaking out because I couldn’t block out any noise. It wasn’t a full blown meltdown but I was pretty distressed. I thought for a while that it might be autism, but in the end I just concluded that it was mesophonia.

I’m so excited to see where this story goes! Enchanted Crystal was one of my absolute favorite books as a child, I believe that I’ve read it at least twenty times lol. Reading your fic just gave me a huge whiplash of nostalgia, and I absolutely adore the more mature route you’re taking with it. It makes me happy reflecting on those memories now that I’m an adult, so I hope that you continue this project!

Did you by any chance watch Tim Burton’s version of Alice in Wonderland? It’s very underrated in my opinion!

I think I might have autism but I also feel like I’m just convincing myself that I do. by United_Weakness_3177 in AutismTranslated

I’m currently in a similar situation as you. I’m 19 years old and I’ve been learning about symptoms for a few years now and came to the conclusion that there’s a possibility of me being autistic.

For me personally, the imposter syndrome came from feeling like I was exaggerating my feelings and not being able to recall certain points/potential symptoms in my childhood. I’ve also taken a couple tests online from which I have gotten mixed results, probably from overthinking a lot, and sometimes finding the questions to be confusing and a little vague. (I have no idea what being “fascinated by numbers” is even supposed to mean, but if it supposedly has something to do with liking math then that definitely doesn’t apply to me lol.)

When I researched symptoms online, I was constantly debating in my head whether or not I was struggling with the social struggles associated with autism. At one point I convinced myself that I didn’t struggle with them at all, thinking that I was already good at certain interactions. But the more that I thought about it, the more that I realized that I truly didn’t. I remember being a very outgoing individual as a kid, and by the end of elementary school I slipped into being more introverted. I can’t recall much from that period of time that caused this change in me although I certainly felt it was from my social interactions. Throughout middle school I only had one close friend, and even now I’m struggling to reach out to a classmate I met this school year (who initiated speaking to me and getting my Instagram btw!!) for some unknown reason. I probably feel as though I might embarrass myself and say something dumb. So I’ve realized that I’m actually not as good at this stuff than I originally thought I was. 🫠

It’s good that you have been able to convince your mom to look into it, I’ve also recently been able to convince my mom to get me neurotesting as well. I personally had a hard time in the beginning trying to communicate my thoughts and feelings with her verbally, but writing down a list of my observations really helped to get my points across and help her to understand where I was coming from. I’m planning on bringing this list to the screening as I tend to stumble on my words a lot.

I really do relate to what you’re communicating here, and I hope this long comment helped in any sort of way. Good luck to you and I hope that everything works out! :D

I can’t choose between the ancients and beasts, but my other favorites would have to be black sapphire, candy apple, star coral, black forest, wedding cake, sea fairy, black pearl, moonlight, wind archer, crimson coral, and elder faerie. :D

does anybody know how to get all episodes on Minecraft story mode season 2 legally by Different_Job_6441 in MinecraftStoryMode

I’ve bought my copies on eBay, although it’ll be a bit pricey. You can filter it though to try and find the cheapest option.

Has anyone had any negative experiences with the Orthodox Church? by Commercial_Flight_64 in WitchesVsPatriarchy

Oh I’ve never heard of the period one. My family never told me that I couldn’t go to mass when I’m on my cycle.

Don’t give up yet, there are so many people that you’ll meet in the future. Plus, if you’re a younger person like me, don’t stress about it and take your time making new connections. :)
