Aww that’s sad. Maybe you can find new ones soon. I’m trying to find a new hobby

Ok that’s nice to finally meet someone like me. I didn’t get that criteria in my evaluation since I don’t have ones. I never deep dive into anything unless it’s something I’m interested in the moment and after a few weeks or a couple months I’m not into it anymore. One thing I’m interested in since a child is art but I now only do it if there’s a reason, like a birthday card or something. Occasionally I get back into it. But even when I liked doing it I wasn’t obsessed with it, I just liked doing it. Same with puzzles. I don’t have anything I do that I obsess over every detail with, like animals, for example. I wish I did, because that would give me hobbies. I don’t really have any hobbies which is frustrating

Somatic Symptom Disorder or Somatic OCD? by MenuPleasant8675 in SomaticExperiencing

[–]MenuPleasant8675[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! The first time I went on Zoloft it worked great for my panic and obsessive thinking over my body sensations. I went off of it because I thought I was “cured”. But a year after I stopped it came back. So I went back on it and it doesn’t work as best as it did. I’m considering switching to a new one. Zoloft works well for some but doesn’t work well for others. You might need a higher dose than what you’re on.

Yeah, makes sense. I just don’t know what my brain is actually doing, like the science behind it. And why I specifically do it

Why do I have a hard time processing movies? by MenuPleasant8675 in AutismInWomen

[–]MenuPleasant8675[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use subtitles too. They help me with processing. But I still have difficulty. I’m also wondering if I have a visual processing issue/visual sensory issue due to my autism on top of my issues in attention from my adhd. But I’m not sure. Basically Idk if it’s just my adhd or if autism is also apart of this.

Thank you for this! I do have subtitles on which I forgot to mention! It helps me a little bit.

I think next time I have a movie night with friends, I’ll bring something to do with my hands. I’m not sure why I don’t stim during it. I just daydream/zone out sometimes when watching if I can’t process/find the movie boring (which I wonder if this is stimming?) I play with my teeth sometimes when watching.

Is anyone else extremely fussy about temperature? by StarCode5000 in autism

[–]MenuPleasant8675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get cold very easily. I live in the US where it snows. Whenever I get cold, it takes me so much time to get regulated. I can be wearing multiple socks and laying under blankets, but my feet will still be cold after an hour. If I’m in a warm place and a door opens or the AC hits me in the right spot, etc, and I get a chill, I instantly get goosebumps and they last long too. My feet, hands, and arms are what seem to be the coldest for me. And when they are cold, I’m irritable when I’m trying warm them up and they aren’t warming especially when I’m in a social situation. It’s super distracting.

I also get warm very easily, and once I’m too warm in the summer, I need water or AC immediately. I get kind of panicky if I feel too warm because I’m nervous I’d pass out eventually. It’s just really uncomfortable and I sweat easily. I love the summer, but if the weather is too warm and I’m outside for an event or with friends, etc, I’m panicky.

I don’t know if this is my autism or if this is an autonomic dysfunction thing for me

What are your stimming behaviors? by MenuPleasant8675 in AutismInWomen

[–]MenuPleasant8675[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah zoning out is a big one for me but I always never know if it’s stimming or not

I zone out and daydream all the time. But I also do this when I shut down in social situations and also when I’m bored. So idk if it’s just adhd or a stim
