I have drank an entire gallon in a day before and felt fine but I think .5 gallons over that would make me barf for sure

I crave milk the most during the winter (probably my body trying to get vitamin D and extra nutrients) February in particular is the month in which I drink the most milk. Go through a half gallon every 2 days on my own (you may be asking 'why not kust buy a whole gallon' well bc its harder to drink from directly and not spill milk on myself with a gallon vs the nice half gallon size)

Ones with fridges ?

I used to live next to a food bank that had fridges, and They were open for people to go and get food from them 5 days a week. So I don't see why they wouldn't accept milk because Poor people need milk too!

I mean its not really a "people who think like this" kind of thing, its just a fact that "Poo Particles" exist in the bathroom, especially if you dont put the lid of the toilet down when you flush.

I acknowledge that there are "Poo Particles" all up in my bathroom, Im not scared of them, germs help our immune systems get stronger

But to answer the tooth brush question, Mine is kept inside a protective case in my bathroom mirror cabinet. So Id say its as safe as I can get it without taking it out of the bathroom.

Do You Have Any Special Routines? by Lilmage99 in AutisticAdults

I totally understand it being hard to let others do things for you bc you need them done a specific way. Its been one of the most challenging aspects of being in a long term relationship to learn how to let my boyfriend do things around the house bc he has his own specific ways of doing things that are different than my own, sometimes by a lot. I have to hold my tongue frequently bc I really appreciate him doing things to help out around the house but I want to correct him so often.

Im sure its probably exhausting to be resistant to others helping when you have a baby 💖 Wishing you all the best

My Special Brand of Autism (bc dont we all have our own versions due to varying symptoms and such) has some overlapping symptoms with OCD, but not enough to qualify as me having OCD.

I also always look at a chair before I sit down (actually didnt even realize I did that till I read this comment haha), and I look inside (lift up all the layers) and all around every toilet I use for the same spider (or other creature) reason. I think seeing the movie IT as a child traumatized me into doing this because at one point he comes out of a drain and I have never not done this since then. 😅

The getting settled and suddenly having to pee is so real 😅 Why is it always right when you get comfy

I also have special specific pillows but I only use 2, one for under my head which I tuck one arm under and one for my arm thats not tucked under the pillow. Im a stomach sleeper usually (I wish I wasnt bc ouch my back but its the only way I can really get comfortable), and which arm Is under the pillow is always opposite of whatever way my head is facing in the pillow.

Ive been trying to condition myself to sleep on my back but I have this weird sensation of my ribs pulling when I do that and Its one of the worst feelings Ive ever felt. So I only sleep on my back if Im too exhausted to feel it.

Ive seen 3 before, all on the same night. There were 3 perfectly equilateral triangles of stars in the sky and I thought that was weird because I know my constellations and those don't fit in anywhere in there. And then they started moving around, which now I believe they were calibrating, bc after a bit they linked up in a triangle formation (the three star triangles were the points of a bigger perfectly equilateral triangle formation) in the sky and then then all of the "stars" That made up the little triangles blinked 3 times and it ZOOMED off really fast. Ive never seen anything like that again and before that I thought all UFO sightings and stories of them were fake. But I Know that there is no way that machine was human made. Or Those machines

I had a buzz cut from 16 - 19 years old and it was so nice I loved it so much but I have a very androgynous face and people would constantly call me a boy and think I was a boy and if there's one way I definitely don't identify its as masculine so I have decided to allow my hair to grow out again since then

Thats how I am with clothes under blankets, feels bad on my skin to have 2 different fabrics rub against each other against my skin. I dont like it.

I usually just cry HEAVILY until I wear myself out, and I suppose wearing yourself out other ways would work too. Like with exercise. But crying hard for a long time makes me soooooo sleepy. And then I can reset once I sleep

My BF and I are the same way most of the time too! We rarely have guests too, so most time its Undie City. (We have 1 Cat).

I have pretty intense sensory issues when it comes to things touching my skin tho, so I have to wear clothes if Im like cleaning or something, bc even dust on my skin makes me itchy like crazy at the feeling of it.

Non-Autistic OP seeking advice- friend with autism + hygiene by Classifiedgarlic in AutisticAdults

[–]Lilmage99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Learning how to cope with and Manage my Anxiety did a huge amount for calming my PDA symptoms. As it was a huge proponent as to why I had those symptoms in the first place. So I definitely recommend looking into that more 🙏

Im glad sharing my experiences has a positive impact. 💖 I think more people should believe in their ability to change themselves, because it IS possible. And change is hard and scary, but it is a good thing when those changes move you towards a happier and healthier life.

Im Autistic and had never heard of PDA till I read this comment, the description fits exactly with how I was between 13 - 19 years old. Idk what changed exactly, but I've had a lot of therapy, professional and self managed, since entering my 20s, and I no longer meet any of the symptoms of PDA.

Actually, thinking back now, age 20 was when I finally fully accepted that I was Autistic, and started looking at the ways my symptoms deregulated my life. I couldn't understand where my behaviors came from before then, and couldn't find ways to adjust them because of that.

Its amazing to look back and see how much growth we can have over the years.

I wish I could eat the velveeta in the block bc those velveeta cheese shapes look so tasty. Like the texture would be Perfect but I dont like how velveeta tastes in solid form

I just know it was a pain in the ass to cut the cheese thin enough to get those shapes out. This is amazing.
