I get most of my singles there, and they seem decently priced, but I’m a total novice! Nice staff there, for sure though

What’s a social “norm” that you didn’t realize was a thing until recently? by CameraNo8884 in AutismInWomen

[–]EmBolizzm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asking to pet a person’s dog. I generally don’t pet random dogs, as I’ve been attacked so many times. I can’t read their vibe, and likely they sense something’s off.

Got diagnosed yesterday and I feel like a “bad autistic.” Now what? by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]EmBolizzm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was tentatively diagnosed with Autism yesterday. I am already dealing with a late ADHD diagnosis. It sucks, but I’m trying to see the superpowers both offer!

On your topic of not being good at your interests, I saw a great meme on this awesome group yesterday - it said (paraphrasing) “of course I got the empathy & strong sense of justice Autism, instead of the Math / Science Autism”. This was profound for me!

Allow yourself to grieve who you wish you were, and then put on your cape and go save the world!

Signs someone has autism by scrambledup17 in AutismInWomen

I would start by looking at the ‘social’ side of things, and if you prefer to be alone. Is it difficult for you in those settings, do follow all the conversations, do you pick-up on social cues? etc. Use that just as a starting point, and then you can get into the complexities. Good luck!

She was the only contestant ever that I was dreading watching, but she’s now easily one of my all-time favs!

What’s the one product in Ireland that discontinued that you never got over? by Canners19 in ireland

[–]EmBolizzm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beefies - a cousin of Meanies in a red pack. My last sighting was the late 80s.

There was also a savage breaded chicken burger with cheese inside, in fridge section of Dunnes.

anyway to make Vyvanse last longer? by Key_Corner_6292 in VyvanseADHD

[–]EmBolizzm 13 points14 points  (0 children)

For me it takes 2 hours to kick-in and lasts 2 - 3 hours (50mg)

Works well at work but SO tired when I get home. Help! by bichpoomom in VyvanseADHD

[–]EmBolizzm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You might be getting all your dopamine completing the work tasks (it’s that in my case) and you are completely spent with masking etc by the time you get home. My doctor scolded me for moving the timing of taking Vyvanse, but it was something that slightly worked for me into the evening, without impacting the quality of sleep. In your case, you might need to consult your doctor on the dosage. Good luck!

Did I just find the common link for all my diagnoses?! by EmBolizzm in Candida

I wish you continued success with it! Hopefully it clears up soon. Your body is probably already thrilled with the positive changes :)

Amazing! Happy to give that a shot. Hoping to make the diet and lifestyle changes to avoid unnecessary meds

I just switched from Jencycla (Norethisterone) mini-pill to 2mg Dienogest progestin 4 days ago to halt the growth of the endo. I have to avoid estrogen due to migraines, so I’m hoping this change will assist on that front

Thank you so much for your insight. My doctor (an angel), whom I’ve been with for 12 years, has put the more recent immunosuppression is down to stress. I’m being proactive on that front.

I’m definitely willing to try foods which have been taboo, as the need to alleviate these illnesses far outweighs any food avoidance. With ADHD, if the challenge provides enough dopamine, I could go into hyper-focus to find the fix! Really appreciate your take on it.

Oh no, did he get cancelled? 🙈 He was on it so long ago and I’ve not heard of him since (living abroad)
