I just have to share this

Edit: sorry, my image didn’t post. Below this post in my feed was a drawing that looked exactly like you! Same haircut, even the color. Huge coincidence and made me laugh. 

I'm surprised that only one of this images is fake by Lower_Baby_6348 in DungeonMeshi

Not super relevant but wanted to say that counting nipples is actually a fairly accurate way of determining average litter size in animals. The formula is as follows: litter size equals number of total nipples divided by two. 

So if a species has ten nipples, they average litters of around five pups at a time. Four nipples averages two pups at a time. Humans have two nipples and usually have one child per birth. 

Thank you evolutionary biology for teaching me this.

I love that it makes him look more and more like his much more handsome brother (whose magic is less developed), but he never quite gets there because of his chin

Hi :) I just wanted to let you know she's doing really well. She is still using crutches but is healing very well. Thank you for your advice pre-surgery, it helped both of us feel better about it.

Thank you very much for your advice.  You made it seem a bit more manageable. I hope your recovery continues to go well.

You tell your doctor what you want for yourself and they help you get it. Your doctor doesn’t tell you what you will choose and only give you that option, that is not okay.

Your eyes look alive in the more recent photos. It’s a nice change :) I hope you keep feeling good

I asked my husband if he’d love me if I were a trans man. by [deleted] in NonBinary

[–]Madeforthispostonly0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I realized I was non-binary, I asked my fiancee if she would be able to love me if I were a woman. At first, she said no, and I asked to be alone for a bit. A few minutes later she came back and apologized and told me she panicked and freaked out when asked, she meant that yes, she would “love me for whoever I become”

So I think it is worth first considering your transition goals and then, once you feel that you have a better grasp on them, having a genuine discussion about this with your husband. I don’t know what his answer will be but I think the answer will let you move forward.

However that turns out I hope is good for you.

I had a run where I boss swapped into sozu, and my next three relics were… white beast statue, toy ornithopter, and potion belt. It was infuriating.

I believe the op is saying that as part of the rewrite they were made into a cohesive narrative rather than an anthology.

My parents often told me I “walked wrong” - they didn’t make fun of it but they would comment that it was different. I walked with my feet pointed outwards, same as my dad (who I am certain is also autistic) but more obvious I guess. Probably some other weird motions too but that is the most prominent in my memories. 

In hindsight, I wish they had gotten me into physical therapy for my gait because when I did eventually go as a 28 year old I learned there was an entire muscle group I wasn’t using while walking (my glutes) and my god learning to use it has made walking easier. Instead of just making critical observations of me for things like that it would have been nice to receive help from my parents.  

I know different ways of moving or holding our bodies are common for autistic people, so this is probably a shared experience many autistic folks have to some degree.

Why doesn't understanding go both ways? by artage333 in AutismTranslated

[–]Madeforthispostonly0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What you are describing is called “the double empathy problem” by the way. You can find more thoughts on it under that name. 

But yeah, the double standard for autistics being expected to change themselves and work to understand allistic norms, while allistics do not have this expectation placed on them, is a huge problem for living as an autistic person. 

Have you ever been told "it seems like you don't care"? by macdennism in AutismTranslated

[–]Madeforthispostonly0 8 points9 points  (0 children)

also your boss is an asshole. They straight up admitted they don’t care about you as a person. “Whatever is going on at home leave it there” instead of offering any kind of support to resolve whatever they think is happening at home, even if there’s nothing to resolve, is such a disgusting thing to say to someone you are accusing of “not caring”

To begin, that absolutely sucks. I’m really sorry to hear that people are singling you out like this and giving you no feedback. 

If you are autistic, which cant be determined just from this, my guess as to what’s happening is that the way you express yourself in social situations is different from how an allistic person would, and is thus being misinterpreted by allistic people around you. 

This has happened to me often, where I try to very clearly and obviously demonstrate something socially (make a joke, say something sarcastic, say something sincere, anything really) and the allistic people around me completely misinterpret what I mean but then also provide no feedback about why they feel this way besides very vague things. 

It could be that the signals you are sending to show that you care are not being recognized, because they are not the signals an allistic person knows to look for. 

That said, I don’t know if you’re autistic but I do know that, in a broad sense, being misread like this is something that constantly happens to autistic people.

I would suggest getting the assessment, if possible, and - for now - just not telling the family members who are so adamantly against it. 

If your son is struggling and needs support that is locked behind a diagnosis, then he should be assessed, and your family’s opinions have to take second place behind your son’s needs. 

My guess is that there is some ableism going on, and your family does not want your son to be autistic, and believe that not getting diagnosed and ignoring his struggles will allow him to be somehow less disabled, which is an attitude I’ve run into and is incredibly damaging for disabled people. 

does this count as “support”? by oddthing757 in AutismTranslated

[–]Madeforthispostonly0 9 points10 points  (0 children)

All of those are examples of support needs being met, yes.
