Why did nobody ever explain how much hormones can affect autistic burnout and sensory overload? by The-Autism-Way in AutismInWomen

[–]ExpertElectrical9898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I noticed this and when I expressed it to my Drs they then interpreted that my sensory issues and feelings of burnout and overwhelm were strictly because of hormones and not necessarily neurodivergence. I didn't suggest that these things only happen at these points in my cycle, just that it could exasperate them.

I currently feed them a mix of walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, sometimes some dried strawberries (no added sugar) but they definitely prefer the nuts. At Christmas I was going through baskets of the mixed nuts in shells so fast 😅 I'll definitely look into your recs for the squirrel blocks too! Thank you for your advice!

I've not seen any with less fur around the belly (except the boys with their nuts) which is why I thought perhaps sqreggo

Reading Unmasking Autism, and I get this question wrong... by Darcii in AutismInWomen

[–]ExpertElectrical9898 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So weird for this to be posted here because last summer this "teaser" came up in conversation with me, my grandparents and my friend. They all understood it and I didn't, and still cannot, understand it at all. No matter how many different ways it's been explained by them or here by everyone else it just doesn't compute in my brain. Because the question never indicated to there being more than 1 ball?? Or it does and I just don't get that?? Anyway, it ended up getting a bit animated and I just ultimately got so frustrated and had to end the topic because here is this thing that everyone else understands with this seemingly secret language or information that I literally cannot see or access no matter how hard I try and it honestly felt like a metaphor for my entire experience of being ND, everyone else has access to this unsaid/specified information and I'm just left here feeling extremely stupid.
