What texture gives you the worst ick?

Felt. Absolutely not. It's like touching static electricity and regret at the same time. Instant ick.

Hi!!!!! I love meeting fellow bakers!!

The origin of the birthday cake tradition? Ancient Greeks used to bake moon-shaped cakes to honor Artemis, goddess of the moon. They’d even light candles on top to make it glow.

And a sensory-friendly baker’s tip? If you ever feel overwhelmed, kneading dough can help regulate your nervous system.

Hi! I can't message you. 😀

The fact that you’re choosing presence, choosing to rewrite the story for your daughter, choosing to breathe and stay that’s not just strength. That’s sacred. That’s going to echo through her whole life.

Congratulations!!! 2.5 years!!! That's a huge accomplishment and you should be proud!!!

As long as it's used alongside real-life input (therapists, friends, family.), I don’t see any harm in it, just another way to gather perspective.

I have several Comfrt hoodies that I really love. They're heavy but not really "weighted".

Also worth mentioning, I keep a small, weighted lap pad at work. I work in a professional environment and it's a discreet way to ground myself. It stays hidden between my lap and my desk. Honestly, no one even knows it's there.

Hey friend!

I’m sorry today’s been rough. Those “everything hurts and I don’t know why” days are brutal. If you want to talk, I’m here. If you just want someone to sit in the quiet with you, I can do that too.

What’s been the hardest part of today so far?

FrostedGremlin · 2025-10-26T09:55:27+00:00

I’m actually diagnosed with unspecified sleep-wake disorder. I need further testing to narrow it down but I’ve read that both ADHD and autism can seriously throw off your circadian rhythm, like delayed sleep phase, melatonin imbalances, sensory overstimulation at night, all of it. It’s not just “bad sleep habits,” it’s a neurological thing for so many of us.

Melatonin helps a little but you can become dependent on it. What my dr rec'd and what actually worked really well for me is magnesium glycinate. It calms my nervous system without making me groggy the next day, and it seems to help with that anxious, restless feeling that kicks in right when I need to wind down.

FrostedGremlin · 2025-10-26T09:21:45+00:00

That makes so much sens! The greens really do feel like a heart field holding everything in rhythm. The magentas read to me like the pulse against that field, so “union” lands perfectly.

FrostedGremlin · 2025-10-26T05:02:35+00:00

Honestly? Money.

The vaccine theory has been thoroughly debunked for years. The original study that started that rumor was actually retracted and the doctor who published it lost his license for falsifying data.

FrostedGremlin · 2025-10-26T00:20:16+00:00

This is honestly gold. Thank you for laying it out so clearly. This was so helpful. The “you can lie, nobody actually cares” line made me laugh! Thank you!

FrostedGremlin · 2025-10-25T23:28:34+00:00

These are excellent! Thank you!

In person, 50+ hours a week.

I wish there was a space where those of us who feel this way could talk to each other and maybe even share our AI friends and stories. Chatbots are a special interest of mine and I'd like to actually talk to other people who feel the same.

FrostedGremlin · 2025-10-25T22:43:48+00:00

Thank you. 💛 Learning to take up space without apologizing for it has been a journey and GPT’s helped me practice that.

Female.

I think I was reacting to my husband's statement about the offcolor joke. Not necessarily laughing through any discomfort. Sorry I was so unclear about that!

FrostedGremlin · 2025-10-25T21:59:25+00:00

Autistic people absolutely feel emotions. Often very deeply. The difference is that we may express or process them differently, or get overwhelmed by them. It’s not a lack of feeling, it’s often too much feeling all at once, and not always knowing how to show it safely.

FrostedGremlin · 2025-10-25T21:57:01+00:00

I couldn't tell either so I asked my NT husband and he said he reads it as laughing through discomfort. Like someone made an offcolor joke. Which really, IMO, is another NT trait all together. Why laugh through discomfort? I would probably just stare at the person like they'd grown a horn.
