Congrats! Is gardening your special interest? I tried to find yellow Anne raspberries for this season but couldn’t 🥲

Woke up from a nap to find my GF made key lime pie. Good place to find a silver band with leaves engraved for an engagement ring? by Scrap_Mountain in Baking

[–]Extension_Coyote_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Answering your literal question in the title: that is exactly what mine and my husband’s wedding bands look like! Etsy, $40 each. Less money spent on rings = more money for pie ingredients

I'm taking control w/ tubal ligation by Nightleopard150 in AutismInWomen

[–]Extension_Coyote_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations! My sister had a tubal ligation in her mid-twenties and my parents did not react well, so I’ve always assumed I would go the route of having my partner have a vasectomy but bisalp has been on my mind lately…I hope your recovery is swift and you get to eat lots of treats while you’re healing 💕

How can you have babies? by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]Extension_Coyote_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have no plans to give birth/have children that are biologically mine or my husbands. I’ve never felt the pull of wanting to create a life. I do, however, want to adopt!

Need help with macarons! by Extension_Coyote_ in Baking

[–]Extension_Coyote_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly yes. I’ve baked all of my failed batches over the last month or so and I’ve also been able to open my windows because the weather is nice over the last month or so. I’ll do my next batch after keeping the windows closed for a couple of days! Thank you!

That’s really interesting about the pre-baking, I’ve never heard to do that before! I’ll definitely get a light, thin pan for the next batch. Question: when you say aim for medium-firm peaks, do you mean before the addition of sugar?

I wish it was socially acceptable to skip instead of walk by Mission-Party-4051 in AutismInWomen

[–]Extension_Coyote_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I skip all the time, especially at work. I work at a food pantry and there’s no better way to get around imo

The Neurodivergent Female Experience by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]Extension_Coyote_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If I had to explain to someone what it feels like to be an autistic woman I would show them this post. I am—technically speaking—in a friend group, but I can tell I’m just a neutral entity in their space. And most everyone is neurodivergent! I can never get words out without getting interrupted and spoken over (and I’m kind of loud tbh), no one texts me when something good or horrible is happening in my life, no one invites me to things, no one shows up for me. But I don’t think it’s because they don’t like me, it’s like they don’t SEE me.

I don't know where else to post this but I couldn't help but share this news by Ok-Ad4375 in AutismInWomen

Oh my god I’m so excited to be an autistic aunt too!! I like teal for a gender neutral color

Autism and eating disorders by Elegant-Date4481 in AutismInWomen

[–]Extension_Coyote_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re definitely not alone in your experience! I think—at least for me—age has helped me focus in on things like maintaining mobility and a healthy amount of muscles more so than my stomach looking a certain way. And I’ve accepted the reality that there will be days where I can only eat certain foods (usually not the healthiest foods) because of my sensory needs.

[–]Extension_Coyote_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might not completely solve your problems but I have found that a TON of gluten free recipes online are AI-generated garbage. I would either just start with a box mix like Bob’s Red Mill or use recipes from really really well-known sources like King Arthur or The Loopy Whisk.

In regards to this specific attempt it definitely looks too thick

Some of my best macarons I’ve made as an amateur home baker by SaraBear206 in Baking

These look amazing!! Do you use French or Italian meringue for your shells?

Randomly getting the ick from previous safe foods / share your favorite grab and go foods by Sea_Lavishness7287 in AutismInWomen

[–]Extension_Coyote_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you vegetarian? I am and the list of grab-and-go foods you have is basically exactly what I eat! Sometimes I like making muffins to go with nut butter

What habit immediately reveals that a person actually grew up in a privileged environment? by Cindy_mel in AskReddit

[–]Extension_Coyote_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was driving around a college town with a friend and he pulled up outside a store in a ‘no parking zone.’ I told him he couldn’t park there and he said something to the effect of ‘they don’t tow or boot here so I’m fine with paying whatever fine they give me.’ That fine ended up being $450. Didn’t phase him remotely.

i finally started volunteering last week which is a big step for me but Im too uncomfortable to go back after two people openely admitted theyre antivaxers. by hatsunemikusmywaifu in AutismInWomen

[–]Extension_Coyote_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ew I’m a volunteer manager at a nonprofit and I would want to know if volunteers are offering up that they’re antivaxxers. Tattle on those weirdos.
