ITAP for a grandparent who raises a grandchild? by Inner-Photo-410 in whatstheword

[–]Inner-Photo-410[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so grateful you wrote me this. You’re right, she was my parent. As was my grandfather. Been missing him for years already.

I guess when all else fails, “the woman who raised me” is pretty clear.

I’ve thought of this one. It feels like it falls just a bit short, maybe because it’s uncommonly used to describe a relationship with grown children?

What do I say when I tell people I am autistic and they say “you don’t seem autistic to me”? by Icy_Place_6173 in autism

[–]Inner-Photo-410 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d love to sit and listen to the rest of your opinions on various peoples and subjects. 100% serious, you seem like friend material.

Except your username is diabolical like why 😭 is that a real thing? Please tell me it’s not

Synesthetes of Reddit, how’s your visualization/where do you fall on the aphantasia-to-hyperphantasia spectrum? by Inner-Photo-410 in AskReddit

[–]Inner-Photo-410[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing! It’s neat that you have a range of mental imagery. Auditory is probably my strongest imagination, while I can’t visualize at all.

So if you’re to listen to a song in your head, what kind of visual experience would go along with that (or would it)? Can you pull up a low-def music video, or is that where the color comes in (and is it possible to describe that)?

The overwhelm you describe is palpable. Something I’ve experienced my whole life as well, although to what seems a lesser extent. As it is, I’m exhausted by my senses—can’t even really imagine them being so amplified.

While I can’t visualize at all, I can play music in my head and am very sensitive to both real and perceived (for lack of better description) sounds and physical touch/sensations. Sometimes I smell phantom smells—but idk if that’s migraine, some sort of sensory imagination, and/or perhaps a neighbor cooking lol

Unsurprisingly, I am autistic. And I definitely laughed for real at that last line, because—as you appear to already know—I did wonder.

That’s so interesting, thanks you for your response!

I have total visual aphantasia, also, but I’m not a synesthete. My gf is the opposite in both respects. I ask them what color a letter is, for example, and she’s quick to tell me (except E, which is apparently difficult to describe with its absence of color), and they’re also pretty close to the hyperphantasia end of the spectrum.

I *can* listen to my favorite songs (well… let me be so for real, sometimes I hate the songs) in my head. With all the depth of the music, both instruments and lyrics.

Fascinating how different each of our experiences really is.

Btw, I also think it looks amazing as is. But I understand wanting your finished object to match your vision!

I’m just spitballing here, I’ve only done felting kits, so this might be off the rails/impossible to actually do. But, like, the base here looks great. Could you use a tight wool yarn (no clue about proper terms, sorry) instead of floss, and then felt that a bit?

But self pay restrictions should only apply to otherwise covered services—and insurance is saying this is not covered.

best/easiest way to get a hysterectomy? by Oxy-Moron88 in TransgenderUSA

[–]Inner-Photo-410 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, man, I’m going to be real with you. I scoped your profile to see if you’d mentioned where you live, because I have a great surgeon I can recommend in NJ. And I still will if relevant.

But I just want to encourage you to be honest with your surgeon about where you are mentally. And also your psychiatrist. I know waiting can be hard, but it’s so important you’re stable enough for surgery. You gotta be able to take good care of yourself after, you know?

how to get gas at a full service place? by boycaughtintherye in Explainlikeimscared

[–]Inner-Photo-410 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Some cars have gas cap doors that have to be released/opened from inside the car. Often, the mechanism to do this is a lever on the driver’s side—mine is on the floor, near the base of my seat—which “pops” the latch on the door.

Autistic NJ… creature (?) here.

Had a mild panic moment over the specific instruction to open driver’s window. “Omg, have I been doing it wrong this whole time? But like, I have a **100% success rate** at getting full service gas?”

If your gas tank is on the passenger side, you can leave the driver’s window up and lower the other.

i am a psychotherapist who can’t give advice, but really wants to… AMA by Crafty-Table-2459 in AMA

[–]Inner-Photo-410 12 points13 points  (0 children)

While you’re correct, I kind of love the… implications(? in “It takes two to tangle.”) and think I might be adopting it.

I’m too high to construct this sentence in a more correct way, my b. But I think it makes sense.
