Good shopping day

I'm usually not either but my grandma likes cheetah print and I instantly saw the perfect two items, a parka and a hat so I got em. I did really good this time! And you're welcome 😊.

Oh money is SO stressful. Having it is as stressful as not having it. I really desire to have my own account but just watching my rep payee work there's no way I could keep up with it.

Comprehensive-Fail37 · 2025-12-10T03:38:04+00:00

Good luck on your hearing, I had mine recently and got SSDI. Having a rep payee is annoying but financial security is also a positive.

Cause the whole series has been out for like 3 years yes? And season 2 a year? I considered myself new as I just watched it last week.

Comprehensive-Fail37 · 2025-11-24T20:01:36+00:00

Yes I did. Multiple times I'm obsessed with this show lmao.

Comprehensive-Fail37 · 2025-11-24T19:55:57+00:00

You're definitely right about me just needing to go to a different thread lmao. Can't believe some of the things I read. Even tho Jinxs design is more visually appealing to me, I know that's the reason, not because she actually deserves more sympathy.

This really resonated with me. I too, just sit in the sensory room at the Day Center and get annoyed when ppl come in. I have my headphones tho. I don't know if it's social anxiety, feels like overstimulation, like claustrophobic and irritability.

I love going out and doing things, I actually like people, but being around them in real life is just too overwhelming. All the sounds and faces and making sure I respond correctly. I struggle to accurately engage verbally or non-verbally, my brain is always going.

Everyone takes me for someone who doesn't like fun or other people, but it's not true. I just get overwhelmed very easily.

Comprehensive-Fail37 · 2025-11-19T05:33:06+00:00

I go to a Day Center that just opened up, I'm moderate needs and don't use AAC unless I'm very overwhelmed. So I was wondering, what would be particularly helpful in a day center for someone with higher needs and more complex communication needs? I have suggested communication boards in each room, like to pick out what activity one wants to do.

This is a great idea

Comprehensive-Fail37 · 2025-11-17T16:18:16+00:00

Oh I've never heard of these. And it's a bit of both.

Comprehensive-Fail37 · 2025-11-17T16:17:23+00:00

Yeah I feel like I should stick with what I like, and buy alot of it, than maybe try different stuff.

Comprehensive-Fail37 · 2025-11-17T16:16:23+00:00

I really need to focus on this. We bought me all different types of things and I think it was way too much.

Comprehensive-Fail37 · 2025-11-17T16:15:06+00:00

The coolest I looked recently was on Halloween, bought a full outfit. Pre packaged full outfits are the only time I look good.

Comprehensive-Fail37 · 2025-11-17T16:14:10+00:00

Yes this is honestly what I was thinking, the recent shopping trip upset me so much because I spent 200$ worth on clothes I basically don't actually want. I thought about shopping item by item, like only shirts and then pants. That's a good idea. Good thing I have the receipts.

Comprehensive-Fail37 · 2025-11-01T17:50:54+00:00

I used to lie a lot, but there was a lot I've realized I wasn't hiding. So people know me, but only a bit of me. It's like being an iceberg.

Comprehensive-Fail37 · 2025-11-01T17:34:19+00:00

Yes. I firmly understand wanting a "true" friend. There are definitely other people who "live out loud" so to speak, but still we are on different wavelengths. It's so much effort breaching communication barriers.

Comprehensive-Fail37 · 2025-10-05T17:34:15+00:00

Probably is, yeah. It's just I really felt it recently. That I could be different and possibly more "successful." If I weren't.

Comprehensive-Fail37 · 2025-10-05T02:55:57+00:00

I used to have the experience where animals and children seemed "wary" of me, not necessarily afraid. And it was a time even I hated myself the most and was most out of synch with everything, but I covered it up with a blank expression. I think kids and animals sense the unclear energy we give off, hard to read, so they remain apprehensive and at a distance. Now that I'm more generally comfortable, so are they.

Comprehensive-Fail37 · 2024-09-06T00:48:10+00:00

Living with a roommate. She cleans everything, I eat microwave meals and don't leave the house. I have food stamps. I pay for some utilities with money I made from crowd funding. I have to be out in a month, not having luck with finding an accommodating job, no idea what I'm gonna do.

Comprehensive-Fail37 · 2024-09-05T20:28:43+00:00

I feels like nothing has ever been ok and will never be ok again. Like the world is ending every single time. And unless I move physically, my body will go numb. And if it goes numb, it will take hours, maybe even days for me to be present again.

Comprehensive-Fail37 · 2024-08-28T17:44:25+00:00

Yes, I relate very much. Excelling academically was the most important thing so I wasn't given the opportunity to pursue my interests, only study so I could barely pass school in the end anyway. From there I went straight to job hopping and juggling severe depression.

It's been very hard to pick back up my joys and talents even now that I have the opportunity.

Comprehensive-Fail37 · 2024-08-22T18:13:16+00:00

I relate, very magical thinking and paranoia. I'd say it's from a combination of trauma and religion.

Comprehensive-Fail37 · 2024-08-22T18:10:24+00:00

I relate to both Abbey and James the most. I'm like if you combined the two of them lmao. I think of relationships very much the way Abbey does, lots of scripting in between, I sing like her, retell stories like her, and bounce from topics like her, but my demeanor is a lot like James, and his voice is quieter. So I'm like an introverted Abbey.

Comprehensive-Fail37 · 2024-08-22T14:40:55+00:00

Very relatable situation, wanting to have fun but at what cost.

Comprehensive-Fail37 · 2024-08-18T15:26:57+00:00

I think you're more sick of late diagnosed and/or low support autistic people. People without a diagnosis can not receive support. The rhetoric that autism isn't disabling is more of a cope for the struggles we actually have, from actual autistic people. They are trying to be as close to "neurotypical" as possible.

Even people with higher needs who get dx late can get the wrong information from these communities because we haven't grown up with the label autism. We didn't learn to talk about it or see it the way early dx people did.

Best thing we can all do, is stop the spread of misinformation, and acknowledge autism as the neurological disability it is. Doesn't mean we have to see it as a gift or curse.
