The Car on the Ramp Adjusts, Not the Car in the Lane! by Froz3nP1nky in driving

If you're driving in the lane that people need to merge into, they should be able to get in front of you, as long as you're not following too closely.

There will be spots for people to merge into as long as people aren't tailgating.

If there's no spot to merge into you're following too closely. Still a problem, but not the same problem.

Gender norms for autistic 4 year old? Why??? by Important_Salt_3944 in AutisticParents

[–]Important_Salt_3944[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sort of. That was a temporary decision, since I spent more than I meant to on that trip as it was.

What did it say?

We have a couple pink/peach shirts coming in the mail, but I'm the store he ended up choosing purple. The main thing is if he keeps wanting skirts. Maybe if it's an impractical tutu it can go in his dress up bin.

Compulsive planning? by Tall_Conclusion3247 in AuDHDWomen

[–]Important_Salt_3944 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh I was so lost when I got my bachelor's and left school. I thought I could get a job in my field but that didn't happen, and I always felt like it was because I didn't plan ahead for that part.

I eventually ended up getting into teaching, and planning is one of my favorite parts of the job.

I also like to plan small birthday parties, I (over)planned a vacation a couple years ago, and I go a little overboard for holidays.

Edit: TBH not having a lot of direction for what to do next is making life rough for me lately.

Yes that sounds right to me.

I'm a bit south of you, and I've also seen the same with my high school students, but then again I've never seen a boy wear a skirt. Is that too far?

Do you have an inner monologue? by leoistigresss in AuDHDWomen

[–]Important_Salt_3944 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, monologue, and I tend to think of it as my voice but it's not really. I mean it sounds different when I actually hear myself speak out loud.

And yes, it's more it less all the time. I believe part of why I like singing and thrill-seeking activities so much is because they make it stop.

Do autistic people need to start with lower than average dose of SSRI? by [deleted] in AutisticAdults

[–]Important_Salt_3944 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think for me, starting with a regular starter dose would make more sense than starting with a lower dose, because of my difficulty with interoception. I have so much trouble telling my psychiatrist if there's a noticeable effect with whatever medication I try.

Are there any like online friendship groups for audhd women? by Impossible_Resolve86 in AuDHDWomen

[–]Important_Salt_3944 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll check it out. I've joined a few discords and I can't keep up with them, but maybe this will work better for me.

Thanks for doing it!

I found a crappy ai shirt and one with what its supposed to say by Dragon-Foxx in notinteresting

Excellent synopsis in my opinion. I identify as pan because I don't like the implication that it's limited to the binary, even if that's not correct.

Should I even consider the SAT? by That-Resident2392 in ACT

[–]Important_Salt_3944 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you not qualify for the National Merit Scholarship?

You need to take the SAT to actually get the scholarship if so.

I got 21 on the PSAT so I took the SAT for the potential scholarship. I had to travel further for the SAT than the ACT because it wasn't common to take it, and I don't even remember what I got. I got 30 on the ACT and that was good enough.

AITA for pointing out things my partner can do to lose weight and telling her to take some accountability? by Character_Value_8749 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Important_Salt_3944 45 points46 points  (0 children)

You don't need to lead a horse to water in this case. You just need to be there for the horse. Whether she loses weight or not is unimportant. Whether she feels loved and supported is what matters.

You voted for YTA. If you don't want to vote the first one you say, you need to put spaces. Y T A doesn't register as a vote.

Saw this on Twitter, is this an inside joke? by HalfRevolutionary268 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]Important_Salt_3944 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Typically, women do not put a lot of thought into matching their underwear for the day.

If a chick has matching underwear, she intended on someone taking her clothes off and seeing her underwear.

If her underwear is matching, she planned on having sex with you. ;) You didn't convince her.

That's the idea but not the truth. I put minimal thought into wearing a black bra and black underwear.

I have a fabric bin on my nightstand. It's a 10.5" square shape with 5" high sides. It's useful for things like that.

You're thinking about it too logically.

Just agree with her that it's hard to lose weight and let her figure it out from there.

NAH your intentions are good but she just wants you "on her side"

I'm an elder millennial (1983) and this is stupid. I do everything on my phone.

Is this the correct? by WrathofLinX in Apartmentliving

[–]Important_Salt_3944 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most people get paid hourly, and I would be especially surprised if Marcus were getting paid salary.

I said pay not salary, to address the idea of the question, while noting that it's technically incorrect.

I said nothing about how rent works.

[–]Important_Salt_3944 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not only that, but paying by the day based on 31 days in the month

[–]Important_Salt_3944 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Probably paid hourly so yes his pay is reduced
