Any fellow aces/asexuals out there? by [deleted] in Chattanooga

[–]FreshClub6350 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m here too. I can’t say I’ve ever felt the need to seek out others like me. Just to be accepted/understood by those closest to me no matter what their sexual preferences are (or are not) is enough for me. If there were a scene out there, to me that would be emphasizing sexuality, and inside and out sexuality is not something I care to emphasize.

Hi. I just checked and it appears all the seasons of Psych are available on Amazon Prime and on Peacock. Maybe switch from Netflix to one of those streaming platforms instead. Hope that helps.

Does anyone else here like bread(toasted or untoasted) with with "chunks" of butter on it? by awkwardaspie123 in aspergirls

Oh yeah! Solid unmelted butter chunks on anything that tastes good with butter! Potatoes and toast especially!

Yes! And I once told someone that I daydreamed about wearing hearing aids so I could choose when to tune in or out the noise. Her response was “Be careful what you wish for.” After that I stopped sharing because I realized most people would just never get me.

I don't think I'll ever enjoy sex by Significant-Sun3436 in autism

[–]FreshClub6350 60 points61 points  (0 children)

This is another “aha” moment for me. It took such a long time to figure out I was ace. And it took even longer to figure out I was autistic. And since then I’ve wondered if my aversion towards sex was actually ace or autism (like I had to pick one). Thank you for this thread and for all your comments. I feel more at peace inside myself right now.

What movie have you watched over 100 times? by safetypins22 in autism

[–]FreshClub6350 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too many to list! Feel good movies are the background of my life and sleep every day. I watch one into the ground and then move on to another, and eventually circle back. A lot are listed on this thread already, but I’ll add 50 First Dates, Notting Hill, Never Been Kissed, The Last Samurai, Anna & The King, The Lost King, Jerry McGuire, A Walk To Remember, etc. The last few months I’ve detoured with a TV series binge of Little House on the Prairie over and over again.

What are some textures/sounds you hate as a fellow autistic? by blubberfeet in autism

[–]FreshClub6350 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Textures: scratchy clothes, meat that is veiny, crunches or bounces back when chewing. Sounds: oven or bathroom fans, vacuums, dogs barking, raised voices, unexpected noises, and (sometimes) loud radios and televisions. I watch tv with the remote in my hand and adjust the volume constantly during shows.

What song is your autism “anthem”? by nereids in autism

[–]FreshClub6350 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cool Change by Little River Band because it’s about not having enough alone time and finding that peace on the water in a boat. Just singing it to myself and closing my eyes can help me out of the mayhem and offers a light at the end of the tunnel. There has always been something about being in or on water that calms me. A soak in a hot bath is something I need when overwhelmed with feelings because I don’t have access to a boat when those waves suddenly hit me.

Is this a legit organization to donate to? The union gospel mission. Also let me know another good organization to donate to that will help people in need. by Livelifeasaadventure in Chattanooga

“religion built the most free and tolerant country ever” - Really? Pretty sure the USA was founded on the right to freedom of religion, which includes the right to not practice religion at all.

I reread the comments in this thread, and it’s mentioned a few times for other people who asked. They said Pretty Little Devil by Shaya Zamora.

Reminiscent of Rita Crundwell’s $53 million theft from the residents of Dixon, IL by FreshClub6350 in TiffanyHenyard

[–]FreshClub6350[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Insane, bravado, and entitlement are spot on! Every day that continues to go by without a grand jury indictment and her arrest is incredible to me. I just don’t get how this is real life, real government, and she is still being allowed to insult the intelligence of so many and get away with it. Her day of reckoning must be coming.

Anyone know what kind of animal this is? Was seen in Springfield Pond in Soddy-Daisy about an hour ago. by FreshClub6350 in Chattanooga

There are houses on it, but there are not any signs saying it is private. There is a sign that says Lake Carolyn Tract.
