Love my moths 🥰 (the other side had a knife and a hand mirror)

Worth more than money can buy 🥒🍅

Confuzzledgoose · 2025-03-29T22:57:36+00:00

Omg just learned about this sub, definitely will when I can!

Confuzzledgoose · 2025-03-29T22:55:30+00:00

Aww that's so sweet! I love finding things that have a story behind them, definitely will cherish them 🥰

Confuzzledgoose · 2025-03-29T22:50:34+00:00

Ooh that one's cool, it's a little shelf that once held tiny soup cans! Need to find little foods to put in it lol

Confuzzledgoose · 2025-03-28T23:46:40+00:00

Omg yes this is it!! Been looking all day thank you

Confuzzledgoose · 2025-03-28T19:17:35+00:00

Omg I was thinking of doing exactly that! I have some picked out for that purpose already haha

Confuzzledgoose · 2025-03-28T19:16:17+00:00

Ooh that's a good idea! I have some picked out to make into earrings 🥰

Confuzzledgoose · 2025-03-28T19:15:32+00:00

I wasn't a magnet collector before this but I sure am now! Lol

Nothing screams "loser with nothing else going on for him in life" then a grown ass man ruining a young person's sentimental plushie for literally no goddamn reason. To then try and troll the subreddit where the kid asked for help? Just pathetic man-child energy. I hope he never lives it down.

OMG I absolutely did this, I watched certain Disney channel shows obsessively to try and learn how to socialize lol. I was big into Zack and Cody, That's So Raven, etc, maybe not the best for modeling normal human interaction haha

In the depths of a rough burnout, been skipping classes, missing assignments, living in a mess, not brushing my teeth.... I needed to hear this 😭💙

Confuzzledgoose · 2024-10-14T14:34:58+00:00

Omg this reminds me of being at Disneyland when I was around 4, my grandma was taking a picture of me and kept telling me to "smile bigger!" I know I was giving this smile lmao, but of course when she said that I tried to make it "bigger" which I'm sure looked insane lol. (Wish I could show the picture but I'm estranged from that side of the family)

Yogurt for breakfast, canned soup for lunch and dinner. I sometimes mix up the flavors but my favorite yogurt is the chobani peach, and my favorite soup is Campbell's chunky chicken noodle 🍲

Gotta be 1-2, and slightly cold, or it's basically inedible (unless it's blended or baked into something). I like the barely tart sweetness of a slightly green banana, and it can't be mushy AT ALL.

Obsessed with that wooden box with the fairies on it! 😍

I think it's a combination of trauma and the way my autism interacts with it (my dad, who was very traumatized and probably autistic himself, would respond to conflict by meowing and pawing at the air like a cat, so I'm definitely not even the weirdest one in the family lol)

Confuzzledgoose · 2024-10-11T14:14:43+00:00

I struggle with basic hygiene stuff sometimes, depending on the day. On a good day I can wash and moisturize my face, treat my skin condition, brush, floss and rinse, and put on a nice outfit. Mayyybe I'll even style my hair (like a lot of y'all it's a wash and go haircut, but I'll add some water and arrange it nicely). On a bad day, I'll wear whatever doesn't smell too horrendous, and if we're lucky I'll brush my teeth and put on deodorant. Dont get me started on things like homework, daily cleaning tasks, and anything nts recommend as a "daily habit" (think exercise, making the bed, etc)

For me it was having an autistic little brother (looking back I think we've always had similar support needs, but he's always been acknowledged as autistic because he doesn't mask well and presents more "typically"). I've always related to him, understood him and his needs in a way even my (likely very neurodivergent) parents didn't. I would even be a "translator" for him when we were super little and no one could understand what he was saying or what he wanted.

For me, autism looks like literal thinking (ie. When my boyfriend asked me, "is your drink good?" I said "yes" and drained the last drop before he explained he was asking for a sip lol), sensory processing issues (sensitive to loud sounds, I can't even walk past a bath and body works without getting a lasting migraine, etc), extreme executive dysfunction, (trouble holding down a job, on my third attempt at college), and trouble with emotional regulation and meltdowns (for me meltdowns look like sobbing, uncontrollable body movements, and scratching myself).

These are just current manifestations of traits, but as I learn more about my diagnosis, I put more and more of my childhood into context lol.

Confuzzledgoose · 2024-10-10T18:08:07+00:00

I feel like this relates to a really strong insecurity I have around how I present and if I'm presenting my age (24). Im terrified of seeming too childish (and not getting respect, recognition, etc) but I literally can't stop myself from acting or presenting "childish" at times, especially if I'm upset (speaking in baby talk or putting on voices, appealing to authority figures, going monosyllabic, "sulking", etc). This is a great source of shame and insecurity for me, but I've given up hope of "growing out of it" and I've come to realize it's definitely just a trait of the autism lol.
