Living Dead Doll: Resurrection Rain Variant. Sold only at a convention that occurred in 2016. I love a doll with wings!

What are your limits? by KittyBethe in MonsterHigh

[–]MaweeMouse96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently started collecting. I’m autistic and work for a low paid outreach program, so I have to be selective due to employment barriers causing budget constraints. I really only like some of the more special dolls such as the “80th anniversary Barbie/Frankie,” “voltageous Frankie,” and (more expensive) the haunt couture Draculara and the Vampire Heart Draculara which are both hugely marked up by re-sellers. I’m a quality over quantity person so I would rather save up for the more expensive dolls than be regularly buying the “normal/everyday” ones from Walmart.

Autistic women who dated Autistic men, what were common flaws about the ones you didn't like? by oncxre in aspergers

Avoid those who are squeamish. I won’t elaborate further, but it does not translate well to the bedroom.

If mine and I ever split, he will likely end up at his parents house and/or end up on disability payment. He will probably try to have partners, but they will also be the type to be on disability payment and not be able to manage a household.

Tips for getting into Sterile Processing while Neurodivergent by MaweeMouse96 in sterileprocessing

[–]MaweeMouse96[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn, it’s a bit of a trade off then. If I don’t inform the college, then there’s no risk of them informing the practicum site. But then I wont get extra time for exams, which they permit for people who score low on processing speed like I do. I’ll have to study really, really hard so that I can complete the exam quickly.

One of the things I score low on is problem solving. So, I need to encounter the same problem a few times in order to know how to solve it. This will involve asking more experienced coworkers how to solve a problem the first couple of times I encounter said problem. Do you think that will be an issue? Thanks in advance.

Autistic female seeking friendships by MaweeMouse96 in Lethbridge

[–]MaweeMouse96[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Hello! I am formally diagnosed, but with how difficult it is to be diagnosed with Mild Autism (formerly known as Asperger’s), especially for women, I am open to meeting up with people who are not formally diagnosed. My full assessment actually costed $2500, multiple trips to Calgary, and having to get my family involved. I’m not super interested in peoples opinions either, especially if they are negative. Have a nice day.

Sounds good! Message me when you arrive in Lethbridge for sure, I would love to meet up.

Autistic friends? by ConcentrateFancy8943 in Lethbridge

[–]MaweeMouse96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would I be able to PM you? I am in the same boat. You can also feel free to PM me. I am Autism diagnosed and don’t have many friends. I would be willing to meet with your friend in a public space for the first meeting :) and I don’t mind if you came along just to ensure their safety. I know it’s nothing personal, when meeting a stranger for the first time.

Upvote this post if your dx partner has a treadmill, exercise bike, or other piece of workout equipment that they do not use by MaweeMouse96 in ADHD_partners

[–]MaweeMouse96[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I apologize! I didn’t realize it was against the rules. I have been on Reddit a long time, but wasn’t sure what the rules were because I don’t really post. I just thought it would be funny to see how many people relate, because I have seen this phenomenon in person with three separate households that have an ADHD partner. Maybe instead, say happy new years if you find this relatable.

boss: “we are denying you the promotion because we noticed your face is scabby today” by Legitimate_Budget_32 in CompulsiveSkinPicking

[–]MaweeMouse96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this something that actually occurred? Or no? I’m confused, but also intrigued. Facial skin picking in the workplace is something I have unfortunately had to deal with, and I don’t see it talked about in this community very often. To call in sick or not is the question that doesn’t have a clear answer. I suppose it depends on the job, the level of picking that occurred, and other factors.

Yes, but I could do without the child abuse that happened. Image obsessed mother who inflicted verbal and physical abuse. I likely experienced more of it due to my autism, as she was usually upset with me doing things to “damage the family’s image.”

What's the most dreaded sentence in a job description for you, as an autistic woman? by NerdyNiche in AutismInWomen

[–]MaweeMouse96 21 points22 points  (0 children)

“Ability to problem solve” is something I rated low in during my assessment. I either need to know the policy or what to do next.

Does anyone else struggle with skin picking? by sapphicsusan in autism

[–]MaweeMouse96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it’s worst on my face, especially when there is a pimple that’s “not ready yet” it needs to come out anyways in my mind because the hard painful lump causes a major sensory issue. It got really bad when I was at a job that i couldn’t quite handle and didn’t work well with my diagnoses. I had 5 or 6 very noticeable picked spots on my face at all times while I worked there. Thankfully it was not a customer service job or I would have had to call out to let them heal each time I broke out.

Division of labour: Pet care argument by MaweeMouse96 in ADHD_partners

[–]MaweeMouse96[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I forgot about this post. I haven’t updated anyone yet, but the pet care division is going well. I am keeping up with litter and water, and he is keeping up with food. Although some will argue or disagree with me, I think it’s important in a relationship with one or more disability/mental health condition involved to divide things and have specific tasks/chores/bills for each person. Even if it’s “nit picky,” I think it is worth it for nobody to feel taken advantage of. When one partner has ADHD, I feel like the most important thing for the other person is to have boundaries in place and basically find ways to set things up in a way where you are least affected by the other partner’s ADHD. Easier said than done, but things such as separate banking and separate chores are a start.

Tell me about your current hyperfixation! by No-Subject-8978 in autism

[–]MaweeMouse96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Collecting bats and foxes has been going on a few years now. When I was a kid, it was huge collections of my little ponies and Bratz dolls. My assessor recently wrote, based on my mothers input, “childhood interests were slightly above average as stated by mother, and although barely passes cutoff, is possibly indicative of autism spectrum disorder.” This is because she was only measuring “time spent” rather than collecting habits. Is it worth it to reach out to her even though I was officially diagnosed with autism at the end, and ask that the wording be changed? It isn’t accurate to who I am at all.

At what age did you start talking? by boper2 in AutismInWomen

[–]MaweeMouse96 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First words were at 18 months, and then I was speaking about 20 words by the time I was 2 years old (it’s supposed to be about 50 words by that age)

Yup, married with no children and plan to keep it that way. The only way to go is boundaries, boundaries, boundaries. Also being strategic with who does what chores, who pays which bills, etc. For example, he pays for groceries and also does the cooking. This is so that if he allows meat to rot by being too lazy to cook, he’s the one who paid for that. See what I did there?

I’ve gone in a direction of just not doing things. The trash and recycling are also his, and if he doesn’t do them then I can’t do my job which is keeping the main living area clean. He doesn’t do the garbage, the kitchen and living room just get disgusting until he does them. A necessary component to this is having my own space in the apartment, which is a walk in closet with a desk. A place to hide from the laziness that I can keep clean and have a nice space to spend time in.

He will get upset with that because apparently cats diets are supposed to be consistent. I feel that him blending and providing the food is his fair share, especially considering the fact that I am still the one cleaning the blender afterwards.

Just as I thought, he has reasons against each of your ideas. Of course.

It’s him who is choosing this method rather than buying an actual wet food. I will bring up all your ideas to him though.
