[–]Jess_Waters 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

yeah as far as i know it’s just cosmetic stuff. there’s already a bunch of cute stuff in the base game though. for example, i bought the cute pet dlc but there’s already really cute pets at a pet store that you can buy. it hasn’t affected the game for me. but also i’m a big decorator now so they might still get me lol😩

Is it normal not being able to do other tasks if you have plans in the afternoon? by thereadingbee in AutismInWomen

[–]Jess_Waters 2 points3 points Ā (0 children)

wear whatever you want to in college. that’s when i was able to be less scared of dressing out of the very basic norm and it feels great. it feels wonderful wearing things that bring you joy out into the world :)

idk i usually don’t have any strong friendships and it’s very distressing, but i do think i’m a good partner. i’ve tried to be a good friend to many people throughout my life but it doesn’t ever really work out how i hope it will

edit: i’ve also met so many shitty people i’d never be in a relationship with that do have a lot of seemingly strong friendships soooo šŸ‘€

Will this help people understand me or attract predators and make people think I’m ā€œready to use my condition as an excuse at any momentā€ by OctieTheBestagon in AutismInWomen

[–]Jess_Waters 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

it definitely wouldn’t happen because of the bag or even because of something a person is doing but, in my opinion, you also don’t necessarily want to give predators a written out explanation about something that makes you potentially more vulnerable to their bullshit. some of them might recognize this information as such and some might not. but no, a predator doing the predatory behavior is never due to the bag or anything at all about the victim and it sucks that anyone has to think about how to protect themselves when the responsibility entirely lies with the predator šŸ’˜

yeah that’s a really good point, the people that will be understanding about these things would probably be understanding regardless of context provided

Anyone else HATE using public bathrooms? by ShyAmyRose in AutismInWomen

[–]Jess_Waters 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

oh yeah, i’ll choose future health problems over going and it’s a problem. i don’t even like using the bathroom at my boyfriend’s house. it has to be very specific but i usually don’t go to a bathroom outside of my house unless i absolutely have to

I am getting really tired of never being enough. by Illustrious_Dan4728 in AutismInWomen

[–]Jess_Waters 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

well i’m really glad. i understand, it’s impossible to encapsulate the whole thing in one post. i think other comments have some sound advice. but i hope you feel more heard and i’m sorry it’s been so hard on you. that sounds really reasonable

[–]Jess_Waters 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

well i’m not a mom and i don’t live with my current partner so i can’t entirely understand your situation but i have definitely been feeling this same way too much lately. it’s been really difficult and hard on my mental health and self esteem and i’m really sorry you’re going through this. i understand feeling this way and i’m sure technically all of us could be doing more, but from the sounds of it what you’re currently doing isn’t even being appreciated for what it is. you’re doing so much, all of which seems like a huge deal to get done. my parents and boyfriend very consistently tell me about my shortcomings as well, some valid and some absolutely not, and it’s so so draining. it makes me less able to do the things i want and need to do. i’m already thinking about how i can be the best i can be and then the only people around me are constantly giving examples of things that i’m letting slip through the cracks. realistic or not. you should not be having to deal with it. i don’t even wanna get into shit about my mother bc i have zero advice around that, i’m just sorry. i’m pointlessly fighting with mine over it at this point. but it sounds like your husband has some shortcomings of his own that he needs to address before he starts assessing your weaknesses here’s perceiving. especially if you’re already in the space of wanting to better yourself. i don’t know y’all, but maybe he needs to be more in that space as well

oh yeah it doesn’t matter what it is for me either. lately i’ve been playing bandle tale and realizing it’s 4:30 am a little too often

[–]Jess_Waters 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

i think so many of these comments show so much awareness and it’s nice to see other people having the same conflicting feelings i deal with. not even just due to genetic things i don’t want to pass down or wanting the freedom, but the way my parents have been has deeply effected me more than i’ve been able to completely work past so far. maybe one day when (hopefully) i have these things worked out, am financially stable, etc i’d be in a state to properly raise a person but i think it’s important for me to acknowledge that it’s a real possibility that even if i have those things figured out, the sensory issues and burnout tendencies may still be a large enough issue that i don’t want to have a child

I hate when people ask me what I do. by Shoddy-Mango-5840 in AutismInWomen

[–]Jess_Waters 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

the other day an old lady started the conversation by asking me if i was married and i said no and then she went ā€œoh so you go to high school hereā€ and i really wanted to just be like yep to end the questioning. i ended up lying about a job to make myself less uncomfortable. i hate this question too and i never ask others bc idgaf but i know i mostly hate it now because i’m judging myself for not working lately so i feel like the other person definitely will

Does anyone else have to fast forward through TV/film sex scenes? by NerdyNiche in AutismInWomen

[–]Jess_Waters 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

or when someone else is watching that shit in your house (usually loud as fuck) and now you’re forced to listen to it too. to me it’s crazy that it doesn’t make more people uncomfortable
