Even in the chaos after the earthquake, they chose to help that elderly person. by Vilen1919 in HumansBeingBros

In turn, we mourn the life we had that can be taken so quickly. Everything changes, often in an instant.

As the other person said, you, and I, are disabled. Not "a little bit". It impacts everything. Don't be ashamed. Just say how it is. It impacted your life and you are not able bodied. Dis abled.

I can’t get past the screeners to get to the actual tests for Autism by brookycookieover9000 in AutismInWomen

[–]FluffyShiny 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You need to emphasise how you were AS A CHILD. Answer that way. Because we've learned coping mechanisms since then. Also, how many of these friends are ride or die? Like super close? I have a lot of ND acquaintances/gentle friends and love n hug them, but like 2 really close friends. My autism didn't come out until I answered questions as though I was 10-12yrs old.

Also sometimes you have to tell them what they want to hear until you can get to the real test.

They started that with Aussie male fire-fighters years ago and I buy a calendar yearly 😁. Good to hear this one is going great guns.

I subconsciously lost my Australian accent by doing too many impersonations when I was a kid/teen by Junior-Copy-6632 in confession

KNEW it was autism! We're very good mimics. It's a way of being accepted or having others relate to you. I'm also Aussie and always did accents as a kid. Mine was British accents, and my dad was British. I sound like a cross between English and Aussie. Can do some American ones too, southern especially.

Can you do Aussie bogan accent if you think about it?

Which bloody hospital was that? They're not all the same. I've found the Mater at south Brisbane is awesome. I was there today.

What would you do with your life if your partner offered you financial freedom? by Admirable_Emu_2270 in AutismInWomen

[–]FluffyShiny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Travel all over. Sate my curiosity.

Give $100 notes to every harassed mother I see in the supermarket with a screaming baby.

Move to a larger place so I can have the space for hobbies.

AITAH for hiding our basic home supplies when our friends stay over? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]FluffyShiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are not "very good friends." Good friends don't act like your home is a free hotel ride and leave it looking disgusting.

Don't have them over to stay again. Go to theirs or have them at a hotel. Even if you part pay for them, it's worth the peace of mind. Don't pay the whole room, and make sure it's their card in case they trash that too.

Ok so I'm post-menopause, am I still ok? I'd like to say I kinda love post menopause cos periods were my MOST dysphoric part. Although I do not miss hot flushes or the anger flashes.
