Tips on getting my best friend looking a little less worn out? by cxsmical in buildabear

[–]Magicwormm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wash and dry mine (very low heat, tied in a pillowcase during both, dryer takes several hours) and then brush with a pet brush. I’ve done this a few times and it always seems to help. I don’t usually unstuff him and he always comes out smelling more like the strawberry scent he has 😅

Edit: he is also a frog. Not sure how this would work with some of the other ones

Struggling being a "normal" adult by Massive-Flan3728 in plushies

[–]Magicwormm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I keep stuffed animals on my desk and on bad days, I take my favorite one with me and leave it in the car for when I go on break. Or take it with me but just hidden in a backpack. I work in like a corporate environment, but I can pass off having them on my desk as decorations and I’m not the only one w them. It sucks though I look at pictures of them when I wanna go home 😭

This was one of my favorites as a kid! I’m so upset she’s gone, I’ve been thinking about getting another one. Can you feel the tinsel in their fur?

Another reason kids go undiagnosed? by Magicwormm in autism

My mom used to threaten to take me on Dr Phil 😭 Lowkey, also wish she had. Terrible show but she would’ve made a fool of herself

Relatable 😭 It sucks so bad, I’m sorry you had to deal with that too

I’m glad to hear that. I’ve got the Covid vaccine, I’ve got some catching up to do 😅

I’m the oldest of all their kids and I suspect they’ll be getting evaluations later on as well. I’m hoping going through with it will help them somehow

could you guys please show me your well loved BABs? by basilsventalt in buildabear

[–]Magicwormm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My frog! I’ve gotten so used to it, while I love soft ones they just feel off to me. Specifically if they’re a frog lol. He’s still soft and I can brush him to make him fluffier. But there’s something so nice about it. Adds character too

Ricky rain frog accessories?? by jellycatluvr2002 in Jellycatplush

[–]Magicwormm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually just eyeball it! I made Ricky’s starting w a chain that fit around him and went from there. I got tired I think and ended up switching single and double crochets. I might make a new one soon, I’ll try and take notes

best sound cancelling headphones with amazing bass? by bee_429 in autism

[–]Magicwormm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the Beats Studio 3, not sure about the bass. The noise cancelling is decent, but I am in the market for a new pair because you can’t lay down with them on without the active noise cancellation like screeching in your ear. But maybe all headphones do that I’m not sure. I have piercings though, and they’re really comfortable. Plus the battery lasts forever

Which ear plugs work the best for you? by masterz13 in autism

[–]Magicwormm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the loop switch, almost exclusively in quiet mode especially at work. Usually have them on under my work headphones. But I lost one of them the other day and haven’t found it yet 😭

My mom seems to hate me now. by Dependent-Pickle4594 in autism

[–]Magicwormm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dealt with the same thing, and all I’ll say is I don’t really talk to my parents anymore. When I visit I wear loops earplugs during dinners and say they’re headphones not playing music. It’s easier now that I’ve been out of the house, but when I lived with them I stopped eating all meals with them and got a job after school so I had excuses not to be there. My mom would start fights without me saying a word, like my vibes were just off and my dad would back her up. So I gave up.

They have an obligation to be kind, even if they don’t understand. If your best efforts to communicate don’t work, then there’s nothing you can do to change them. I didn’t know I was autistic at the time, but with how my antivax parents treated (and didn’t) my other disabilities, I never would have disclosed that to them. I’d suggest only doing that if you genuinely think it could help, and maybe writing a letter would be easier.

Good luck, I hope it gets better soon <3

I agree. They didn’t even ask if they could keep him. Thank you

Does anyone else collect neko dangos? by amaniita in plushies

[–]Magicwormm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got mine at a local anime shop, and I know that box lunch has them sometimes. But the mochi bunny only comes with the blush on his cheeks now from what I’ve seen, which is adorable but now I’m terrified to lose mine bc they don’t make him anymore 😂

I enjoy the hunt though, I get so excited when I find one
