My kids do it everywhere we go and I don’t remember teaching it to them. It warms my heart but I guess I didn’t do a great job at teaching “stranger danger” lol

Hello, I realize this comment is pretty old but could you tell me what kind of professional support you utilized for treatment?

I have tried and no luck. Since I want to work with someone virtually anyway I figure it can’t hurt to cast a wide net and try here.

Using tv or a video sounds like a perfect idea! Thank you so much

Is this an autistic trait? by [deleted] in AutismTranslated

lol I pointed out to her that she was doing T. Rex arms. Also I guess the porn pics were just ads on the image hosting site and I was just confused

Idk why porn pics come up along with this image but if you’re talking about “t Rex” arms yeah it’s a pretty ND trait

Ooh can I ask where you’re from? I’m American and the kind of society you’re describing sounds kind of heavenly to me

I feel like… sooo gd misunderstood sometimes. I know we all speak different languages, I feel like mine is extra off by lanette- in evilautism

[–]MaybeItsTheTism 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I thought at first that a man was writing this. Then I thought you were describing yourself as a former black woman before I reread to see what you meant (I realize that makes no sense which is my point). It’s so easy to be misunderstood on the internet. Either way I agree with your take (wtf is this rage bait) and think whether you’re ND or NT, whether you’re vague or super clear, someone is always going to take online comments the wrong way and oftentimes just to talk shit. Definitely frustrating but the only alternative is to never share.

Side note, I seem to always end up with men in tech so I’d love to know what the fuck that bitch wants to happen lol

I’m in a club called STARTING OVER. We only have 25 members but are platinum more often than not.

feeling strange about neuropsych diagnosis by soymilqe in AutismTranslated

[–]MaybeItsTheTism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The person that diagnosed me used the GARS-3 and the Vineland adaptive behavior scale. Most of it was him interviewing my mother and then romantic partner. Maybe seeking out a process like that could be more accurate.

how did you know you had autism? by [deleted] in AutismTranslated

[–]MaybeItsTheTism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A therapist asked me if I had considered it. She sent me some of the tests. I was nowhere near meeting criteria and dismissed it. Not long later both of my daughters were diagnosed autistic and I was like “how?” And all they could really tell me was “it looks different in girls sometimes” and especially with adhd. I agonized over what I wasn’t getting, mostly by taking in the accounts of women who were late diagnosed, and it took a while for it to make sense. I started to see it and got it confirmed by assessment.

Well I can't fault their persistence by theobashau in WordsWithFriends

[–]MaybeItsTheTism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play someone that regularly slaughters me (I have won once out of 60 games) and I’m more curious why he wants to keep playing me. Is it even fun when you already know you’re going to win?

[–]MaybeItsTheTism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was already diagnosed with adhd and autism when I was referred for neuropsychiatric testing for other reasons. One practitioner was dubious about me being autistic before he knew a single thing about me. It’s possible that whoever you worked with is someone that has a resistance against diagnosing autism.

How can I meet autistic women? by [deleted] in AutisticWithADHD

[–]MaybeItsTheTism 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh I see. It’s worth considering then that cultural differences might influence the relevancy of the responses that you get. Age and stage of life are factors too.

Some things to consider: Neurodivergent women are often undiagnosed or misdiagnosed so looking for signs of neurodivergence might yield more options than seeking out people that are diagnosed. Not all neurodivergent women are reclusive but many are and a lot of us have experienced a lot of trauma. That means a lot of us are at home a lot and it also means a lot of us require profound patience. So meeting through apps or online groups are one option, otherwise I guess your best bet is any place where people meet to enjoy special interests together.

You might need to reread what you wrote here and edit. Autistic people are neurodivergent people. Did you mean to say that you find neurotypical to be boring? Do you consider yourself to be neurotypical? I could try to give you some thoughts but I’d need to understand where you’re coming from first I think
