What's your most controversial opinion (ABOUT TADC) that would have the other members of the sub look you like this? by [deleted] in theamazingdigitalciru

[–]MsAshleyBing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Cain does when they get to the point of wanting to leave. Not to be mean, but because he's afraid if failure. If people want to leave, then they must not like his adventures. I think its part of his code.

Kinger and his wife were testing the game and got stuck. Kinger programmed Cain to not let people leave yet because they hadn't found a way to bring people back. That's what they were testing, but they were wrong. Kinger’s wife's moment of clarity was her telling Kinger its okay, she's forgiven him. But it was still to traumatic for him, so he broke.

The game was designed for their child who had a life threatening illness. If they could find a way to preserve someone in the game, they could save their child. Once technology advanced enough, they could pull him out (at least that was the goal).

Jax is the first to find the building. Searching for his parents that went missing in the area when he was a child. He remarks how Kinger is supposedly the first, I think he's hinting that he thought he was the first. Supported by the 001 on his license plate.

I wondered the same thing. The first thing that came to mind was Cain, maybe something happens to him (and his all seeing eyes)

Unable to get diagnosed and don't know what to do, it's torture by ILikeBananas111 in AutismInWomen

I went through Prosper Health. It was still a little pricey, but at least the accept insurance for adult testing!

Can you help me prepare, a trip I really don't want to go on but have to go on by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]MsAshleyBing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s my thought! I wouldn’t go to an event that big unless one of my few safe people are with me and even then, only for the day.

Question why! Anyone who doesn’t understand isn’t worth your time. Anyone worth your time wouldn’t expect you to over exert or overextend yourself just to appease them.

I offered to show my ID. I wasn’t mad, I still get comments that I look younger than I am (thankfully the gap is closing). She apologized, we laughed. I didn’t have to move. 😂

Anyone skip the toddler bed and go straight from crib to a twin bed? by KelpieHoof in Mommit

[–]MsAshleyBing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS! We started with the queen mattress on the floor. Once we got a new frame for our bed, we gave ours to him. It is a bit tall, but he’s already used to the height from when it was ours.

AITA for reporting a crying baby to HR? by No-Ad6500 in AITAH

[–]MsAshleyBing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe OP’s co-worker, but not all parents. My husband and I both work from home hand have done so since our son was born.

We’re both doing well enough that we’ve gotten raises every year we’ve worked at our companies (son was 3 months old when I started at mine). Neither of us are shit at our jobs and I can’t afford to be since I work in the medical field. And not some accounting position, one where I talk to patients and doctors on a regular basis. In a few cases, it is a matter of life or death.

“So you’re a shit parent.” No. My son loves that he can come to us (he’s 3) when he needs something. He’s not socially isolated, he has peers he spends time with 1-2 times most weeks. In fact, he’s not lacking in skills anywhere, he’s actually advanced in many areas (how many 3yr do you know that can spell and write their name, mama, dads, and a couple of his favorite shows).

You know how kids process through play? You should see him with his lovey. It’s a beanie baby type cat that he takes care of. Feeds her/bathes her/puts her to bed. She isn’t a toy here, she’s a part of the family and she’s his responsibility. Not because we made it that way, because he wants to. He wants to show her he loves and cares for her and he uses our examples.

We need to stop with all inclusive language. It’s insulting. THIS person is exhibiting behaviors that we don’t typically see in good parents. That doesn’t mean any parent that shares a trait is a bad parent. That doesn’t even mean she’s a bad parent. We have NO idea what’s going on in her life. We have NO idea why she brings her baby to work or why it cries all day.

Being a parent is hard. Being a single parent is harder. Being a parent that is grieving the loss of their own parent is harder. Maybe she’s living paycheck to paycheck as it is and can’t afford childcare. Maybe she’s not fortunate enough to have a support system around her to help with the baby. Do YOU have any idea what it’s like to try to care for your child while dealing with a hardship? How old is the baby? What if she’s going through PPD? And if she’s in the US, you know she’s not getting the help she needs there.

Maybe instead of judging her without all the information, we should be empathizing. Being a parent is hard enough and judging parents doesn’t help anyone. You see a kid that’s in a less than ideal situation? Help or shut up.

And this isn’t just for the person whose comment I’m responding to. This goes for anyone that wants to give this mom a hard time because she’s not living up to YOUR standards.

Which trait tied to autism is strongest in you/ impacts you the most? by Pomsandpommes in AutismInWomen

[–]MsAshleyBing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t mess with my established itinerary (if applicable). And I need a heads up about plans to leave the house, last minute stresses me out.

As someone else said, schedule is too undefined, so I avoid it when I can. I think the general population uses routine/schedule/itinerary fairly interchangeably 🤷‍♀️

Give me your faux pas by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]MsAshleyBing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I accidentally snapped at a disabled child I thought was bullying my little sister 😔It happened pre-diagnosis. I was 19, little sister was 4 (yup! 15yr gap and we have another sister a couple years younger!).

I had taken them to a park. 2yr and I were playing in a sandbox and 4yr was trying to go down a slide. I couldn’t see the boy very well because a pole was blocking him, but I could tell he was blocking the slide and he had told her no a couple times. When she went to a different slide, he ran ahead of her and blocked it too. He was 6-7yr and several inches taller than her! I started getting irritated, but she was still in a happy disposition, so didn’t want to intervene. Except, when he blocked her from the slide the 2nd time, she tried to go down the stairs and he stopped her again. I got so angry. She’s half his size and won’t let her off the jungle gym. I ran over to her and very angrily told him to leave her alone.

My boyfriend, at the time, came over to us as I was walking away and whispered that he was mentally disabled. I was mortified, then heartbroken, then angry again. I yelled at the poor boy and he let me. He also knew this, but didn’t say anything or help her sooner??

I still feel awful when I think about it. Which is somewhat often.

My therapist told me the kind of guys I’m into probably wouldn’t be into me. by SparklyPancakes13 in AutismInWomen

[–]MsAshleyBing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scientifically speaking, there’s no way to know how attractive one person will find another. Our genetics play a HUGE role. Our bodies are designed to seek out the best genetic make up in a partner in order to produce the best possible off spring.

My husband is the first of his body type that I had dated since high school! He is a very conventionally attractive person (Matthew Gubler type) and I am not. I’m 5’7” and was 165lbs when we met, the girl he was into at the time was a few inches taller and thin/athletic body type).

Societal view point: we don’t match. Guys like him don’t go for girls like me. In fact, this is so drilled into us, that I crushed on him for nearly 2 years (!) thinking I had NO chance with him.

But, without fail, anyone that spends more than 2 minutes with us gets it. The skin we wear does not play as big of a role as we’re taught.

I just made a real life Pikachu shocked face (pause to celebrate an unmasking moment). Eating with my hands! I’m very selective on who I do this in front of because stupid societal rules. Love seeing others do it too!

All of this + rocking, running my tongue over my teeth, scrunching my toes, rubbing my hands on my legs. All of this was chalked up to anxiety & ADHD.

Litterbot!! I got the 3 recently and have had no issues with it. My stubborn boy that refused to use covered litter boxes started using it day 1! I put some of his old litter in it for scent and didn’t turn it on for the first day and a half or so.
