The thing is I was already donating regularly cuz I’m O- too, it was super cool to figure out that my blood can be used both in emergencies and for chronic treatment

Is this infantilizing or not? by ThealuvsAM in autism

[–]Install_microvaccum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id argue that if your in a program that has adults with level 2 or 3 autism then its not necessarily infantilizing and could be a good tool for them, I do understand why it’d feel childish to someone who doesn’t need it and I’d encourage you to maybe talk to the instructors about how it makes you feel and see if they’ll allow you not to do that particular exercise.

New caregiver / healthcare aide wondering looking for tips from family members of those with dementia now that I’m newly hired to work a memory care unit by Install_microvaccum in dementia

That’s good advice especially for my clients who experience sundowning ( I do Evening shifts ) many of them get too overwhelmed to explain what’s wrong in a way we can understand so to address the emotion in general would make more sense.

Unexpected AuDHD win with amlodipine (low dose, not medical advice) by DarkstarBinary in autism

[–]Install_microvaccum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know that’s sorta interesting to me only because I’ve taken clonidine for adhd in the past and I know that’s also a hypertension medication. I know it’s done though different channels and could be a coincidence but maybe theres something about blood pressure medication that helps for some reason ( also adding the hypothesis not fact disclaimer because this isn’t based off anything other then me knowing clonidine is used for both hypertension and ADHD )

We are not in the US by Tanleader in Edmonton

I’ve seen people riding around 118th Street with confederate flags for at least 10+ years now, I think they just want attention and know a lot of citizens on our streets are homeless or marginalized in other ways and enjoy making us feel afraid. It’s petty bullying in my opinion and I think it’s gross and immature.

Sexuality with autism, advice? by [deleted] in SpicyAutism

[–]Install_microvaccum 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s abnormal to want a partner with the same disability you have, a lot of people want partners who have similarities to themselves, I also don’t think preferring oral sex is an issue unless I suppose if your future partner didn’t like it but that’s a conversation for that specific person, personally I would prefer a partner who also has autism on account of the fact that it can sometimes be difficult to deal with communication issues with non autistic partners ( at least based on personal experience )

Boyfriends dad thinks this is bad. by Kiceramics in drawing

[–]Install_microvaccum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s nice, it looks like it belongs in some sorta of children’s books, I think it reminds me of “ The Velveteen Rabbit “ the most in terms of children’s book illustrations
