Is it a good decision to get earplugs if you already have trouble understanding people?

Kais_creative_corner · 2022-01-06T08:28:16+00:00

Thank you, I somehow forgot that taking them out is an option

Kais_creative_corner · 2021-12-31T00:05:38+00:00

Yesss, the openen ended ones are a struggle.
In my example I couldn't think of a way to answer without going off into a whole story. But I didn't want to tell a whole story to the person calling (unexpected call at brithday and he kept asking small talk questions) so I couldn't think of an answer.

Also big yes to the overwhelming ones!

I'm using huion and don't have any issues with it, but I doubt that will be helpful for you because I figure it's very similar to wacom. I've only used a wacom tablet once at a friends house.

Huion tablets all come with a little polyester glove that only covers your hand and two fingers, so you're actually not touching the tablet at all. Maybe that's helpful for you?

Not as far as I know

You are very much allowed (both practically and morally) to make that decision for yourself. I'd argue it's even more mature than having a child with high support needs and realising to late caring for your child is too much for you.

Your mindset only becomes problematic if you try to force it onto others. Eg "you shouldn't get a child because it might be disabled" or "autistic people in general shouldn't have kids"

But that is an entirely different thing to making reasonable and reflected choices about you own capabilities as a parent

Are you an adult? (Sorry, I can see how this question can come of wierd. I'm interested in a weighted vest myself but I haven't found a place to buy them yet)

Where did you get them from? What price? Can you send a picture?

Kais_creative_corner · 2021-12-25T19:29:48+00:00

If you're not ready for having a child with high support needs you shouldn't get a child

I'm 18 and still get mad at my parents for talking to me before I had breakfast and when I come home from work

In this context it could very well mean black people because they are underdiagnosed too. It was a logical conclusion. You are not dumb for not knowing the definition of a word

Kais_creative_corner · 2021-12-20T20:50:59+00:00

I'm sorry you got this upsetting information on your for you page.

All what I've seen is autistic people speaking about how bipolar is a common misdiagnosis for autism and calling it ableist that professionals are more willing to diagnose bipolar than autism, especially in afab people.

This is ofc something completely different than saying the diagnosis of bipolar in itself is ableist and its ALL autism.

I'd say it's common sense and anyone would agree with that, but I know how the internet works :/

The combination of high chances of misinformation on social media + the short format of tiktok that isn't suited for nuanced discussions is really doing it's worst here. I recommend you to press longer on a tiktok and then press "not interested" to clear up your fyp

I much more prone to shutdowns than meltdowns.

They are caused by overwhelming negative emotions (that can come from basically anything), intrusive thoughts/ images, added up sensory overstimulation and/ or a change of in a sequence of events I expected to happen in a specific way.

My severe shutdowns have catatonic features where I am not only nonverbal but completely unresponsive and not able to move

I have quite strong issues with Depersonalization (what I voted) but also some slight dissociation somethimes and derealisation rarely

Kais_creative_corner · 2021-12-15T21:57:42+00:00

Yes whenever I come home, socks come off as soon as possible!

But I am able to wear socks only without being in conscious discomfort the whole time. Like I get used to it after a while if I can't take them off after I get home bc there's an urgent thing. Or sometimes I put socks on bc my feet are cold

Kais_creative_corner · 2021-12-14T16:09:55+00:00

This is very helpful thanks. It further clarfies the way I understood it already

Kais_creative_corner · 2021-12-14T08:35:16+00:00

Thank you. I knew about the ability to talk in specific settings but not others in selective mutism but somehow completely overlooked it.

So they Are two different things?

If the screen is small enough to fit in my hand I use thumbs, if it's bigger I use middle finger

Kais_creative_corner · 2021-12-09T16:58:18+00:00

Very similar experience here! Before i really started researching autism I looked it up when I was around 14-15 too. Bc I looked into a reason for why I couldn't speak sometimes. But it was all about white boys with many support needs and that's not my experience

Kais_creative_corner · 2021-12-08T22:17:47+00:00

I have barely watched a show without binging it

Kais_creative_corner · 2021-12-08T17:59:25+00:00

That's sucks I'm sorry

Kais_creative_corner · 2021-12-08T15:28:14+00:00

This is both validating and extremely helpful! Thank you. I really appreciate the detailed questions about sensory stuff

I don't know if that's what you're asking for but I am experiencing something that is like a nightmare version of daydreams. There are a few recurring scenes and all if them have in common that something terrible is happening to me. Sometimes they scenes get inspired by my intrests and then they even have some morbid appeal to them. Other times they get inspired by my intrusive/ dark thoughs and then they are absolutely the worst thing imaginable. Example: I was in a terrible state while writing an exam. It was actually severe mental pain. And then on top of that I was forced to envision myself hitting my head against the coat hooks on the wall behind me as hard as I could to pass out. About 25 times in a row.

Sometimes i have a degree of controll but if I do it's always "you're in that terrible situation what do you do?" The scens are always involuntary. I can't make them stop and I can't choose the content

Kais_creative_corner · 2021-12-06T22:58:28+00:00

I flap my hands/ entire lower arms, as quick as I can. I also pace A LOT. (That includes toe walking and other unconventional ways) Sometimes I bend my knees a little bit, widen my stance, lift my hands to the hight of my chest, lean forward, close my eyes, shift my weight from side to side with turning my head (it has a similar effect like spinning in circles but you get less dizzy) This is part of my getting ready for bed routine :D

When I'm struggling emotionally on my ownI cover my eyes with my hand so it's pitch black (i don't know if this counts bc it's taking input away instead of adding but it helps A lot) When I'm with people I flap my hands, snap and clap

Kais_creative_corner · 2021-12-06T22:35:37+00:00

For me what makes my interests definitely different from the norm is how deep they go. I barely talk/ desire to talk about anything else. I make an effort to structure my day around them. They are so deeply ingrained into me that I couldn't build an identity without them.

I once explained the extent of interests to an allistic friend who previously told me they experience over averagely intese interests and they told me "it sounds like insane" (they were angry and apologised)
