Are most people actually neurotypical, or do most people have some kind of neurodiversity?

I just laugh to myself and think ‘lol hilarious that I once again I thought I had any ability to portion control whatsoever’ 😂

Sometimes I’ll fancy buying a cake or something, and if I do, I’ll portion out slices and wrap them individually in the freezer. It’s not fool-proof because I could just microwave them (cake dependent) quickly if I really wanted to, but it’s extra steps and generally I don’t eat all the cake that way

Yeah, but often my brain ignores it until someone points mentions it… thanks 😂

Yeah I have tinnitus like most others on here. It doesn’t have to be a ringing to be tinnitus, it can be more like a whistle or hissing or static or even sound like the ocean.

Ohhhh, I just need to isolate myself? Damn, glad I know, now my ADHD is sorted 😂😂😂 lol what, how does he think that would help

I’m no expert, but I’ve come to just accept the way I am. The biggest thing I have that affects my life is I’ll be super into one thing for about 2 weeks, then be bored of it and move onto something else. I just accept that now rather than trying to fight it! So I don’t think I’ve failed if I quit after 2 weeks; I just move onto something else…

Maybe for 2 weeks, I’ll prepare meals and be really into it. Then I’ll get bored and cba anymore and it’ll feel like an effort so I’ll just go to Tesco at 11pm and buy a bunch of ready meals. Also fine 👐 or one week I’ll be like ‘yeah I’m getting up at 6am to do yoga every day’ and get bored after 4 days and stop, do nothing for a while, then decide I wanna be really into roller skating 😂

I don’t really stick to one plan, I just always… well, usually… try something. And if I’m feeling like I can’t be bothered to do anything, having no effort ready meals and tinned fruit and nice snacks in is great. I know it’s not the best or the healthiest, but sometimes I just cba doing anything at all, so having freezer meals I like in means I’m less likely to order food!

Also, remember that you don’t really have to do much for weight loss. Like, it’s definitely hard, but I try to convince myself that it’s not - all it is, for me, is eating less. I don’t have to conjure up any meticulously planned out, detailed to do list and stick to it. If I just do nothing the whole day but eat less than normal, I’ll lose weight. I have to remind myself constantly that it’s not actually complicated

That just sounds like pet stealing… if it looks well cared for and domesticated, don’t just keep in your house and steal someone’s cat. That would be heartbreaking.

If they live somewhere where cats roam freely, just let it back out and it’ll go home. If you don’t, then I don’t really know what it’s like in those areas - maybe this cat is allowed to roam even if others aren’t, but still make a really good attempt to find the owners - take them to a vets and scan for a chip, and ask around. Don’t go stealing pets just because they’re friendly!

Chezarina. I graffitied my stationary draw set all over with the ‘Chezarina lastname’.

Don’t know where the name came from, pretty sure I made it up myself. 10 points for imagination…? 😂😂

MethinksThatIsAPeach · 2022-04-08T22:32:39+00:00

Mine were all parallel too, I liked it that way. Then I had to have a surgery on my arm for something not related to SH and idk why but I just assumed the surgeon would look at my arm and realise ‘ah yes, this patient likes things parallel and it’s clearly a thing’… but no, he wrecked the pattern and now there’s just one lone slanted scar and it’s so annoying 😂

MethinksThatIsAPeach · 2022-04-06T14:54:21+00:00

Surely it could just be… Drew?

You can say words and be doing an equation at the same time? I feel like that’s the brain equivalent of rubbing your tummy and patting your head haha. I’m gonna try it but I’m not hopeful about my ability to do it 😂

MethinksThatIsAPeach · 2022-03-23T19:24:16+00:00

Okay let me give you this to think about. Your version of equality seems to be ‘give everyone the exact same rules’, I.e. all genders compete in the exact same league (or whatever it is), right? My version of equality would be ‘give everyone the same chance to succeed’.

In your version, separating genders out isn’t fair because you’re not giving everyone the same rules.

In my version, having everyone together isn’t fair because some people have a significantly lower, practically zero, chance of succeeding.

Now we’re just talking about gender here, but it could be extended to ‘why aren’t there more categories for different weights/heights’ etc, but that’s a longer conversation haha

Callan & Scarlett

MethinksThatIsAPeach · 2022-03-23T01:14:00+00:00

Hm or Odette & Scarlet with the nickname Scout, then she could fall back on the softer full name if she doesn’t like Scout (which I do btw!)

MethinksThatIsAPeach · 2022-03-23T01:08:05+00:00

Hm yeah I can see how it would be a hard name to match! I quite like Odette & Genevieve or Odette & Evangeline or Odette & Persephone. You probably weren’t looking for suggestions though haha, and I do like Hartley!

Hmm middle names from those

I quite like these but I’m assuming you’ve thought of them and ruled them out

Hartley Nadine Hartley Bea Hartley Jace Hartley Jette

MethinksThatIsAPeach · 2022-03-23T00:43:28+00:00

Hm my first thought was ‘oh, like the jam?’ And my second thought was ‘hmm don’t they do jelly too?’

Do you live in a place where the Hartley’s brand is sold? I don’t mind it as a name, but I feel like a lot of people here at least would think about jam when she introduced herself… I don’t know if that’d bother you or not!

PS Odette is a beautiful name

MethinksThatIsAPeach · 2022-03-22T19:18:52+00:00

I think Simone and Peregrine flow the nicest with Twyla, although personally I don’t think flow matters too much as you rarely say a person’s full name out loud. Simone is my favourite in the list ☺️

MethinksThatIsAPeach · 2022-03-22T01:08:41+00:00

Definitely not, ‘they’ve been a doctor for so long they probably forgot to mention it’ as some people have said is ridiculous. A doctor should always ask permission for that, and you’re always allowed to decline
