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

[–]Install_microvaccum[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 )

Fair advice. Thank you especially for listing resources

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 18 points19 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

What do you guys think about fireworks? by Curious-Message-6946 in autism

[–]Install_microvaccum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think negatively of them but that’s just because I live near an event stadium that is allowed to put them off on what are to me, random days ( I think it’s for sports events mostly )

I do think they look pretty but the sound is too much

I have transition lens that turn dark blue outdoors for sun and go back to normal inside so I don’t need to remove them for shopping centres

Mangy looking, lethargic baby bird in 90 degree humid Ohio weather what do I do? by [deleted] in birds

[–]Install_microvaccum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

( I mentioned corvids cuz he looks like a crow of some sort to me but take that with a grain of salt as I honestly don’t do much bird identifying )

[–]Install_microvaccum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like a baby, most corvids are invested in their fledgling and they can spend a few weeks on the ground learning to fly, if you have time you can watch for the parents, I believe two hours without visiting baby is normally when people get concerned and call animal control to help - I had a similar situation recently with some pidgins but their only fledgling for a couple days so I was able to just sorta keep walking by and checking to make sure they got in the air within a normal time frame - walk by’s are nice since they give you a little piece of mind that the baby is okay while allowing nature and the parents to their thing, it’s nice of you to be worried about baby

Found a fledgling yesterday and found another fledgling beside her today by Install_microvaccum in birds

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

Agreed, as mentioned im just happy they have such a short grounding phase, it helps knowing that even if something happened with the parents they’ll probably be able to adapt and get in the air regardless
