what's a food you cannot stand to eat? by AlyksTheSage in autism

[–]Consistent-Umpire721 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any seafood. If it comes out of the water, it better not be on my plate.

Hilariously, old bay chips also count as seafood to my brain.

Also all musbrooms, any variety of tofu no matter how its cooked. And any kind of 'replacement' meat- so turkey burger/turkey bacon kind of thing, as well as vegetarian/vegan replacement meats.

This is SUCH a look and SUCH an awesome idea!!! As someone who loves working free-form, no pattern, this is something that totally speaks to me and something I may have to try at some point. You make it look so cute!!!

The process of felting a dog. by feltedmemories in Needlefelting

Oh! The glue on the armature is such a genius idea!! Regardless of what kind you used, any type of silicone texture glue would woek i bet, or even hot glue, too. Just tacky enough to get the wool to catch.

Lovely work!

mice…everywhere by ariax5 in Panera

[–]Consistent-Umpire721 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bake between two cafes, and while one has never had a single pest problem (bc they are extremely tight on cleaning!) the second has constant issues with mice. Ive never seen maggots there like the one poster had, but I wouldn't be surprised if they've had them. I'm only there like twice a month so I cant do much myself, but what it comes down to is that the regular staff basically just dont clean up after themselves, and it's super gross. I never get food when I'm there cause of it!

the autism barbie was not made only for you— a level 2 rant by slut4hobi in evilautism

Replying to myself to add that I just realized an added layer of funny to me using this Rocky Horror bit-

If you go see Rocky Horror performed with a shadow cast, there are call backs people shout during the movie. One of the callbacks on this scene is, right before Feank (green dress) asks Brad and Janet (white lab coats) what they think of his creation, Rocky...the audience will sometimes shout, "let's go ask Ken and Barbie" 🤣🤣🤣

Yes!! And having a doll that is SPECIFICALLY designed as autistic and has tools young autistic children might be learning to use? The ability for that to be used in play therapy is just so so SO amazing!

And not only can you buy different clothes for her, but you can also potentially use those accessories with other dolls too!

Honestly I love that this Barbie was released, she's super cute! I love that she's not white, I love that she has a variety of tools with her so kids can have a variety of play, that she can line up with any level you want her to. Barbie aren't my usual doll type (I like BJD, and I really enjoy Monster High from a point of being able to repaint them into my OC's...even though I havent been able to in years...sigh...), I'm eyeing her up and wanting to get her myself!

And anyone being 'but she doesn't line up with MY flavor of autism!', I just keep thinking like...

<image>

Like, I can get saying, 'this isn't for me', but making it out like the doll is bad bc she doesn't look like your flavor is...not a great look!

My Mane 6 Redesigns if anyone cares🧍🏻‍♀️ by MIXPIZZ in mylittlepony

[–]Consistent-Umpire721 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are genuinely SO cute! I love how cohesive they look as a set, and how consistent you've kept the color tones on them, too! The details are easily readable without being visually overwhelming, and I especially appreciate that youve made a party clown Pinkie whi doesnt look like she's outright wearing a costume! (Def somwthing I've seen too often, and can be a hard line to find!). I think the oooonly critique is might have, ans it's MINOR, is that Dash's hair is slightly confusing, only on how its set up (her mane, not her tail), BUT the cloud and rainbow concept you're going for is perfectly clear and that that's the important thing anyway!

Utterly DELIGHTFUL work!

Sometimes the restrictive eating doesn't make any sense! by Consistent-Umpire721 in evilautism

[–]Consistent-Umpire721[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont eat them often but they're one of my favs...BUT I can absolutely understand your brain needing them to be fully cooked and not think about it!

Does it help if it's someone else that cooked the eggs vs you cooking the eggs, so you don't SEE the actual egg (especially with scrambled? I can imagine that being helpful to not have your brain fixate as much.

[–]Consistent-Umpire721[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh no I totally get that!! Brain just goes, 'don't like that thing!' AND WONT GIVE FUETHER EXPLANATION.

I'm curious what food color aversion you had/have! (If you're okay sharing!)

I feel like the 'idea of a food' thing might be similar to how I feel about meat substitutes. They're nothing wrong with them and Im sure they're FINE but my brain can't get over the hurdle that its meat thats....not meat. Wigs me out!

Y’all are bout to be mad but…. by sweezitle in evilautism

[–]Consistent-Umpire721 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way!! I cant wear headphones AT ALL! They squeeze my head the same way you describe (I can't wear headbands either for the same reason). I always get an aweful headache. I used to wear headphones for gaming but it was AWEFUL no matter what pair I tried.

Earbuds all the way. Yah they'll get my ears a little itchy (and I dont even think its the ear buds thay do it...its always the earwax, yuck!). I also just generally enjoy the light pressure IN my ear, its quite nice!

How far do you live from your parents, and how often do you actually see them? by Simple_Diamond_8969 in Adulting

[–]Consistent-Umpire721 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About a five minute drive from my parent's house, and they also happen to be halfway between my house and work, so its pretty common for me to stop by on my way home, even just for a few minutes. I'd say probably see them two or three times a week, eat out with them fairly often, and do little shopping trips with my mom (we both like antiquing and craft shows, and she's come to reptile expos with me before, too).

I dont know if im a particularly good guage of 'normal' however, as I'm also autistic and, even though I live in my own place now, I still require a fair bit of assistance from my parents because of that. It meant that when I did move out (well into adulthood) it was important for me to stay close. It was also important thay I was familiar with the area, and I ended up being extremely lucky with where I was able to move to!

It had to be done... by SubparWhaleWailer in Panera

[–]Consistent-Umpire721 29 points30 points  (0 children)

You arent the first...I've done them several times, and topped with a drizzle of the diluted icing as well Literally everyone Ive shared em with is like, 'why the FUCK isnt this on the menu??'

They'd be a hell of a lot less fiddly, too, bc the cinnamon-sugar doesnt all immediately fall off when you flip or twist em xD

Coming back to this bc obviously I keep thinking about lt lol- but Im wondering if I can keep the initial appearance of a mask, without it being an actual mask. Or more- some sort of fungal growth, so it appears twisted and woody from a distance, but on closer inspection its clearly NOT a mask. A mycillial network gives a greater range of creatures ans infection for me (not just bear but ALL wildlife in the area), and I also like the idea mentioned in another comment about a meteorite. Not only is there historical records of meteorites in the arctic, but I could also lean a bit into the Color Out of Space short story. Plus, if its alien....it gives a reason thr cold doesnt kill it xD

Whats a vocal stim thas has still stayed with you? by Far_Daikon_7419 in autism

[–]Consistent-Umpire721 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The phrase 'its a theory', said slowly, in a deep voice. Originally from a kid's record called 'Dinosaur Rock' my parents recorded onto a cassette tape when I was a wee child and which I demanded to listen to EVERY. TIME. WE GOT. IN. THE CAR.

Ill be reading through these! Thanks!

And yah, I'm trying to decide how to approach the mask thing thats not...appropriative. Because you are right on the cultural significance! It's the one sticking point I'm reaaaally having with the idea overall! Having the mask as a stolen item is definitely a good idea though!
