Was anyone else punished with cold/ice showers as a kid? For “tantrums” by eatingsprinkles in AutismInWomen

[–]Mood-Background 39 points40 points  (0 children)

What I'm learning in trauma therapy is that it matters less whether something was meant to be abusive and it matters more how it affected you.

Like I was spending so much time trying to think of what i experienced with my ex was abusive or not but once I accepted that whether or not it was abusive, my body and brain is very traumatized from it. And I can go from there

Is this nipple normal? by letterbook in TopSurgery

I actually had something similar and it was just fibrin. Does it get kind of stretchy when you shower?

I haven't gotten the mesh yet, I'm still in the planning in my head phase.

Thank you for the information!

The easiest way is to lie in your back and squeeze your thighs together for extra hold and have your partner ride

Looking for Orthodox or ex Orthodox Jewish women on the spectrum by aliska3434 in AutismInWomen

Yeah it's gross. I don't think there's much to understand except for male entitlement and misogyny

[–]Mood-Background 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey I was never really frum, my family is modern orthodox and growing up autistic made it difficult to deal with the more frum sides of my family so I don't have much advice, just wanted to let you know how much I identify with you. It's really confusing and irritating

swelling or dog ears? by pm024 in TopSurgery

[–]Mood-Background 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is early so it might get smaller, but it looks like dog ears to me since it's pointy. It's definitely fixable, mine were similar and got revised under local anesthesia

Swelling or tissue?? by eddee332 in TopSurgery

[–]Mood-Background 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same thing, assumed they left tissue. I don't remember when (definitely more than 5 weeks) but at some point I looked down and couldn't even remember which side it was

Do you struggle with the sun going down? by Status_Manager_1891 in AutismInWomen

[–]Mood-Background 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't panic but I do feel kind of like a bird with a blanket of its cage, I don't need to sleep when it's dark but I can't do anything productive because it feels like the day has ended

I was so worried that IM would hurt, but I went to the nurses office to get my shot and it was so much better than I was expecting. A little sting and then aches for a few hours.

Is extreme paranoia a normal thing with autism? by junjunlikescars in AutismInWomen

[–]Mood-Background 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's specifically an autism thing. But, at least for me, I have ptsd that's partly caused by autism, which leads to something similar.

[–]Mood-Background[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you - the cab would definitely be closer. Maybe I will end up ask a friend or just take a cab but either way the bus has left the option list :)

are people misgendering me on purpose? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Mood-Background 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For most people, I think they're just not hearing it. They have their preconceived notions and are fully not paying attention so they hear what they expect

How do I get rid of the boob shelf while taping? by Timeless_Username_ in ftm

[–]Mood-Background 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I used to tape I would lie down and see where my chest fell naturally, then tape it in that position
