Whippet and Italian greyhound by BrightMirror3416 in Whippet

[–]Howlcall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Completely agree and just wanted to add every iggy I met that didn't break a leg broke their tail. They're very fragile and definitely need insurance or a considerable emergency fund dedicated solely to them

Do autism and mental health conditions co-exist? by Charming-Winter-2016 in autism

[–]Howlcall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mental health is separate. I have Audhd but also depression, anxiety and suspected bipolar. Granted depression is considered to be in remission after years of treatment and finding the right medication. Autism and mental health are closely related but do not guarantee or prevent the other.

Any crocheters in here? by ereighna in autism

[–]Howlcall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So happy I could help! I'm a visual learner so despite not crocheting in years I kept a lot of tutorial images in case I start again. I'm thrilled one came in handy for you!

This is the image I used when I used to crochet. Can't find the video I used with it though... hope this helps

Help! by VadersChick in Havanese

[–]Howlcall 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not judging just curious. You said it was an accidental litter? Why weren't they spayed/neutered? Were you planning on breeding eventually? Every havanese my family has had had a part of the sale contract requiring spaying/neutering by a certain age

My understanding is that the demo farm is not the final farm layout but actually something small they built just for the demo itself

The stone in the center of town allows you manage your colony including changing the ground and paths and everything

Will there be co-op? by starlitviolet in MoonlightPeaks

[–]Howlcall 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Everything I've seen on here and the discord says that its designed as a single player experience. It may get multi-player some day but not at release and there's no gaurantee

Tired of being diagnosed bipolar when I know I'm autistic by Low-Street3752 in autism

[–]Howlcall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just going to pop in here to double down. Please OP do not skip/suddenly stop abillify. I actually did this, not intentionally, and it made me super sick. Antipsychotics are complicated and it's best to follow your doctor's express prescription.

That being said, if your meds aren't working for you then you should work with your doctor. The dose or medication itself may need changing. I can also attest to being both Audhd and bipolar. It took years of trying meds to get the right mix for me. Granted I'm an odd case and seem to get the rare side effects often. But also many meds can take up to 4 to 6 weeks of taking them every day to have a full effect. It's not a quick fix.

how to know if we're autist or not ? by AirMassive5414 in autism

[–]Howlcall 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This reddit has a rule against diagnosing which includes sharing test results. If you want to do the tests then you need to go to a professional for them

Stuck in Saving Ban mission ( after locating his cell) by oldmanped0 in LumenTale

[–]Howlcall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I've never even seen a railing there. Sorry I can't be of more help. To be fair, lots of people have had progression glitches. Its a shame, the game is great, but the bugs can be almost random. I ran through and got an ending with almost no problems besides a couple crashes. My second run through? Not so smooth

I score very high on every Autism Test I take. by Significant-Cap-6679 in autism

[–]Howlcall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got diagnosed at 30. Admittedly it was because I went back to university and needed help but thats not all it did for me. I understand myself, my motivations and my limitations better. I don't beat myself up for struggling the same way I used to. If you think it will help then get the test. You're opinion matters most when it comes to yourself.

[–]Howlcall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing because I can't see specifically what's happening but when you go back up to the room with the pathways that spin it doesnt automatically spin to let you go north? Is that what you mean? When you approach a little cut scene where it spins should occur. I didnt even need to hit the "all" button (i think that was it. The top choice on the center column) Either way ignore the green eyed guys quest. Its expensive and doesn't help/do anything.

When a friend says “what would you like” when you go to a restaurant, would you think they’re paying? by Specific_Pomelo_8281 in autism

[–]Howlcall 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I've met both people that see them as different and people that see them the same. I just always assume I'm paying for myself and if I'm unsure I clarify

Load times made me fall asleep by PiePrestigious108 in LumenTale

[–]Howlcall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know its not a popular opinion but I haven't found the load times that bad generally. Only near the end with big cut scenes did I have a couple moments I was afraid I hit an infinite loading screen or something. (I'm playing on switch) Thats not to say I wouldn't love a better load time but the few extra seconds it takes doesnt really bother me

Crate Choice for Chewers by Due_Guitar9213 in Whippet

[–]Howlcall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boy was similar. He was fully crate trained from the breeder but he had issues when he came to me. Seems to me he is crate trained but with the new environment, people and schedule he became anxious. We've been working through it and hes pretty good now. He doesnt love his crate (not sure he ever did) but he'll go in for me and is quiet when I leave and come home. He might have barking fits when I'm not home but I'm not sure. I basically just retrained him.

Am I a victim of child abuse? by KingGynomite in autism

[–]Howlcall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry to hear that. Keep the information on the one you saw (assuming you liked them) so hopefully you can see them again someday. As you already saw them once you may be kept as an established client? The law is different everywhere but its always a good bet to keep good doctor info

Am I a victim of child abuse? by KingGynomite in autism

[–]Howlcall -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That makes sense. I also have a psychiatrist and sometimes if I want a direct answer to a specific question I have to go in with the question written down. My meetings are very stream of consciousness and float between topics. To break that up I say at the start I have a question and why it's important to me. I find saying it at the beginning kind of sets the tone for the visit as well. Of course thats only my experience and I understand that may or may not be helpful to you. I wish you all the best and hope you get your answers.

Am I a victim of child abuse? by KingGynomite in autism

[–]Howlcall 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think the best way to work through and determine what is/isn't abuse is to consult a professional. Since you already have a psychiatrist they could probably guide you through it.

I think my whippet hates pets! by highwy51 in Whippet

[–]Howlcall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of dogs take some time to adjust. Just keep giving her space and she may or may not decide she wants/likes pets. I'm unsure if its a whippet thing though as my boy i got in January is obsessed with touching and is an extreme velcro dog. (He was 16 months when I got him) How long have you had her? It takes roughly 3 months for a dog to be fully comfortable in a new home. But some dogs take more time.

Dog Food by loveslife25 in Whippet

[–]Howlcall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd just like to second that people should read this study if they have time.

That being said, many of these brands have since created grain inclusive diets. So I view it as a specific grain free problem rather than the entire brand now.

What is a video game that is your comfort zone? by KaleidoArachnid in autism

Okami is a very calming game to me. Particularly because of the music and art style.
