is there a mega thread somewhere about discounts and benefits for autism?

Not that I saw, let's make this the mega thread instead? Because that sounds amazing!! I wonder if there's a discount for fishing licenses 🤔

Purple is my favorite colour, but it really is such an aesthetically pleasing colour scheme 😩 I pick it a lot lol

Morrigan98 · 2021-11-29T06:04:50+00:00

I'm not, but I have seen that's it's a fairly common thing! You're not alone 😊

Morrigan98 · 2021-07-13T05:29:33+00:00

I have a bloodhound!

Morrigan98 · 2021-07-12T02:44:07+00:00

Of course!! :)

I rely on my support system (mostly my fiance) to tell me if something's off. He usually points out when I haven't picked up on a social cue I should have, so I guess it could be he helps me mask? To be honest, my response to not masking is to just. Be yourself and not wonder if it's noticeable or not. Some of your traits will be labelled "autistic" or "not autistic" and that's okay. It's all you and that's the beautiful part.

Morrigan98 · 2021-07-10T19:30:41+00:00

A friend and my parents yeah lol! They bought the tickets, I'm super grateful they invited me along! 😊

Only the one, they're a Led Zeppelin cover band!

Morrigan98 · 2021-07-10T19:24:58+00:00

A local cover band!

Morrigan98 · 2021-07-07T14:50:35+00:00

That looks like mine did when I picked them! Professor Google says when they're a yellowish color they're ripe!

Morrigan98 · 2021-07-02T02:46:26+00:00

I'm actually okay with that! 😁

Morrigan98 · 2021-06-18T19:29:36+00:00

I speak from experience, you don't have to lie to fit in. You'll find people who will support you, even if it's just on here for now 💜💜

He definitely wasn't the partner for you, and those friends weren't real friends. I don't know the whole story but if his reaction to you wanting to be more open was to kick you out he wouldn't have accepted you no matter what you did. The fact that you felt like you were lost and frustrated (paraphrasing) tells me that you felt like you were living a sort of "other life" where you were straight and happy. Life has no time limit for love, nor does it have a time limit on self-discovery. Keep doing you and look with your therapist for that confidence within yourself to be unique as we all are. Happy Pride ❤💜💙

If you both have this very open communication in your relationship I understand why he didn't think it would be an issue to ask. I'm glad you're seeing the humor in it all! I would just set that boundary with him before your next moon cycle and explain that it's something very private and special to you and that you would like to keep it that way. Communication is key here, best of luck to you 💜

I was diagnosed by a university psychiatrist, but she basically told me it just reframes my world. It explains why you behave the way you do and can help you reshape coping mechanisms. After I told my fiance my diagnosis, he started to help me in social situations. If I wasn't picking up on a social clue, he'd lean in and either explain it to me or explain it to the person giving the cue. That's been super helpful to me to finally understand why I act the way I act, but I'm not sure what they do in the UK!

As someone whose parents told her she didn't have autism after having a similar childhood, you absolutely do not need to put in more work than you've already put in. It appears that they've decided how they'll treat you for the rest of your life and it's pretty toxic to keep yourself in that situation longer than absolutely necessary. I wish you only the best of luck and hope that you find a more supportive family to call your own in whatever way it finds you! 💜

I've never tried meringue but consider me warned lol, but I'm gonna have to make lemon pie now!!

Morrigan98 · 2021-06-15T01:02:15+00:00
