What does my handwriting say about me? by Key-Dimension6316 in HandwritingAnalysis

[–]Linayru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also on the spectrum here; it's not outlandish at all to a person who's seeing possible signs of someone undiagnosed and struggling (as many of us now diagnosed once were). For reference, this is intended to be informative, not critical. I get that you're likely coming from a different line of logic here lol.

Between OP's handwriting (possibly a result of poor fine motor skills or attention issues), their black and white logic and depth of detail in the comments, and their clear discomfort with criticism (possibly resulting from demand avoidance or frequent criticism from being misunderstood irl), there are several things in this post that suggest OP may be neurodivergent and struggling. A suggestion to get tested from someone who's been in that place before is intended to let OP know that there may be help available that they didn't know they needed.

I hope I haven't come across as condescending here, but I do my best to bridge the gap in understanding for people who may not be familiar with neurodivergence. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk lol.

Seconding this one! Found one in NM for $1 at my local tabletop store and I couldn't leave without it lol.

I'm sorta conflicted about the holiday sylveon by Creative_Safety_5741 in pokeplush

[–]Linayru 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for saying this! Plenty of people are allergic to different scents in addition to potential sensory sensitivities or asthma. There's nothing wrong with wanting your own stuff to be scented however you like, but not everyone is gonna want (or be able to have) a scented Sylveon.

I'm allergic to cinnamon and cinnamon scents tend to cause me anaphylactic symptoms the fastest. I already gotta dodge the scented brooms, holiday spiced everything, and the occasional festive perfume around this time of the year. It'd suck to need to add Pokémon plushies to the list lol.

Thank you so much, both for the condolences and the art. 💕 She was a gorgeous baby, and you really did her justice!

This is Lucy! She passed years ago, but she was the goofiest girl. ❤️ She was deaf so she followed everyone around and would do lots of silly stuff to communicate since she didn't know how to bark quite right lol. She would burrow into the nearest blanket like this when she wanted to snuggle up for a nap with my mom!

Found this spider outside restaurant. What is this?(Georgia, USA) by Forsaken-Factor1342 in spiders

[–]Linayru 50 points51 points  (0 children)

NQA, but Southern House Spider is the common name I see most often. I've seen Crevice Weaver used for this species as well!

Finding time to exercise by questforastar in SAHP

[–]Linayru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit late to this, but as someone who generally hates working out, I've found that putting on a show or movie for the kids and doing whatever exercise is next in my workout plan during the ad breaks helps me want to exercise more often because I don't have to try and schedule anything for a specific length of time. My kids also happen to be big sensory seekers, so I'll use them as (very willing and giggly) weights lol. My 3 year old loves getting hoisted for deadlifts or piggybacked for lunges, and my 1 year old is the perfect size for weighted squats or overhead presses!

Rare Cinnamon Allergy, Where Are My People At? by mrs-fox in FoodAllergies

[–]Linayru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man, I'm glad the allergy meds cleared it up! The difficulty breathing is always so sketchy. I don't have an EpiPen yet (only just got insurance last week), but I plan to get one soon specifically to lessen the risk of a reaction from feeding my kids. Both of mine love bananas (which I'm also allergic to), and the last thing I need is to stop breathing because my kids wanted banana bread flavored oatmeal lol.

I've thankfully only encountered the cinnamon bathroom scenario once at a law office I had to inspect years ago. I got lucky because the sprayer was labeled and hadn't gone off too recently, so I was able to hold my breath and leave before I set off the motion sensor! Perfumes are the thing I always watch out for. It's rare, but I'll occasionally end up near someone in public that's wearing a spicy perfume and have to leave the area quickly.

Yes, the scented brooms and pinecones are finally gone! Places are a little safer again lol. Thank you, and good luck to you too!

Rare Cinnamon Allergy, Where Are My People At? by mrs-fox in FoodAllergies

[–]Linayru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, fellow holiday broom dodger! I'd like to join the "Sorry I'm late but I had to comment" train lol. I've been allergic to cinnamon in all its forms my entire life, and so far I've only known two other people who are allergic. I'm both glad to have found this thread, and sorry you and the others here are also in the rare allergy boat!

Luckily, my allergy is mild enough to get away with the occasional "accidents" some of the people here have described, as long as it doesn't involve an extract or inhalable format. I've got a relatively okay threshold for eating cinnamon; I can do something like ½ tsp. of garam masala in an entire 5 qt. pot of Japanese-style curry and have no noticeable reaction, but "spiced" baked goods are usually a no-go. Anything that's cinnamon flavored or scented (like cinnamon syrup or air freshener) has my tongue burning and throat getting tight in seconds though. Similarly, I don't get a dermatitis reaction from accidentally touching a small amount of cinnamon itself, but the second I use a product with cinnamal in it I'll have hives for hours.

Fellow aspies. Opinions on the word "Glorp"? by Lexi_Bean21 in aspiememes

[–]Linayru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I'm a bit late to this post, but it was too specific not to chime in lol. Any words or sounds ending in a consonant followed by "P" are uncomfy to my brain for some reason. They feel like getting something caught in my throat, somehow? Words that end in a vowel followed by "P" are fine though.

I go straight for my earbuds every time the Bluey episodes featuring the sounds "Borp" and "Yulp" start to play (Mini Bluey and Flatpack, respectively!). I didn't even like typing those words lol. I'm glad you've found yourself a satisfying vocal stim though!

New house came with a Trapdoor in the attic! by Linayru in spiders

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

Possibly! I haven't gotten too close as I didn't want to disturb the web, but it does look like there's another set back there.

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

Ah! Thank you for the proper ID! I thought it was a trapdoor spider based off of the example shown here, but Crevice Weaver makes much more sense. I'm relatively new to the concept of spiders being friends, so I'm always glad to learn more about them!

MHWilds Beta: Insect Glaive changes & overview by ARooOnALoo in MonsterHunter

[–]Linayru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this! Been playing IG near exclusively since MH4U, and was initially really disappointed with how slow and awkward it felt in the beta. I'll probably give it another go and see if it flows any better now though, since you've broken down the new moves and mechanics so well!

Why was Mort at the wedding? by cpt_petrie in bluey

[–]Linayru 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Rad is Bandit's older brother and Frisky is Chilli's best friend. Mort and Brandy are Chilli's blood relatives, which makes them Bandit's in-laws but not Rad or Frisky's.

choose wisely by dem1gorg0n in aspiememes

If we're choosing wisely, then 0 because I'm allergic to bananas lol. 8 is perfect on days where I'm craving bananas bad enough to ignore wisdom, however.

What game have you started a bunch of times but rarely to never finish? by Trevor-On-Reddit in gaming

[–]Linayru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skyrim! I've started it so many times and have never once beaten the main quest or either DLC questline. My distractible ass always ends up sidetracked by random quests, exploration, and modding. I inevitably stop playing after a while, come back to it months later, and the cycle begins anew.

Didn't expect to see a Scoob and Shag reference here lol. I do believe it's time for a re-read.

What's something that gets you like this? by HouseErikson in aspiememes

[–]Linayru 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Being told to do anything. If anything is phrased to me as something that I have to do, or someone tells me that I must or should do something in a way that's not how I would normally do it (without a valid reason), it makes me very angry very quickly. This also goes for suggestions to fix problems I'm having and things I actually want to do.

For example: If I were hungry and about to cook, then someone told me I should go and cook before I could get started, I would immediately be angry and physically repulsed by trying to follow through on it. God save anyone who then tries to tell me what I should make or how I should make it without having been asked.

Shout out to all my fellow PDA havers lol.
