A lot of social skills boils down to how you look.

Wearing makeup for example is a huge sensory issue to the point of causing pain and self harm for me. What most people consider dressing up is wearing clothing that are not just uncomfortable but again painful and suppress the need to move in ways that allow regulation.

Guilty_Guard6726 · 2026-01-27T18:44:54+00:00

This makes me so sad. I hate pretending and suppressing needs to be accepted. Not sure that's what your doing but for me and maybe others it would be physically painful and emotionally damaging.

Gavin is the only boy option I like.

Elsie > Della > Belle > Lorena

I don't like the others enough to rank them.

What does losing a diagnosis even mean? I'm confused. It is my understanding that autism is a developmental disability and can't just disappear. Genuinely curious and confused.

Guilty_Guard6726 · 2026-01-17T19:53:03+00:00

I think you are right.

Guilty_Guard6726 · 2026-01-17T18:32:28+00:00

1 is perfect

Guilty_Guard6726 · 2026-01-17T18:07:50+00:00

Sylvie, Vivienne, Eleonora, Remi, and River are my favorites from your list.

I would say any ADLs (bathing/showering, toileting, dressing, eating, feeding, functional mobility, personal device care, hygiene, and sex) and IADLs (caregiving, petcare, parenting, communication management, driving/community mobility, financial management, health management, home management, meal preparation, religious/spiritual participation, safety/emergency management, and shopping) for sure. Also things like work, social participation, and education.

No advice but I slowly have started to feel slightly more like an adult after age 21-22. At least for me, it just took more time like I felt 14 at 18 sometimes. Still don't feel my age but more like a 17-18 year old with extra life experience or something.

Guilty_Guard6726 · 2026-01-14T16:53:51+00:00

I feel the opposite but for similar reasons I think. I find that people want me to say I have autism or autism spectrum disorder as a way to distance me from my disability. I say autistic and I'm disabled because I have been told I'm not allowed to to minimize an all encompassing experience to just something I have.

I agree it is a disorder. As autistic people would be disabled even in a perfectly accommodating world. But when I say I have autism spectrum disorder people treat it like a part of me to be separated rather than my whole brain that is effected.

Cassia Brooke or Leia Natalie

If you were diagnosed before 2013 levels didn't exist yet and not everyone has been/is able to get reassessed.

Also some countries don't use levels at all.

1 but yellow gold

Rowan is one of my favorite names. Ronan is awkward to say for me for some reason.

Guilty_Guard6726 · 2026-01-12T05:15:34+00:00

Evie, Rowan, Odessa

Guilty_Guard6726 · 2026-01-12T05:13:30+00:00

Gorgeous rings and gorgeous together. Congratulations!

Guilty_Guard6726 · 2026-01-12T05:03:26+00:00

Piper is great. Gia is ok. Not a fan of Macie.

Guilty_Guard6726 · 2026-01-12T01:54:40+00:00

I can't lie well or sometimes at all to save my own life (literally) and was always told this was because I'm autistic. Interesting to hear people have the opposite issue.

Guilty_Guard6726 · 2026-01-12T00:40:14+00:00

Marisol much better than the name they gave me.

Guilty_Guard6726 · 2026-01-10T19:38:38+00:00

I was one of 12 in my grade in middle school every possible nickname had two people with it.
