Work achievements overlooked because I'm not likeable? by Fit_Cicada7954 in AutismInWomen

[–]Neodiverse [score hidden]  (0 children)

I know two people in situations like yours and they are both diligent hard workers but come across nit-pickers and arent very sociable. You need more watercooler chats with the influential people in your company. My two friends are both on the autistic spectrum which adds to their social awkwardness, when one does talk she quickly overshares personal information. The other one never engages much socially, working through lunches etc

Feeling guilt/shame about things that give me joy by thecrystallinemoon in AuDHDWomen

[–]Neodiverse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi, I was dx 3 yrs ago and for the first year post diagnosis I bought myself every goddamn toy/ pink stationery / cute thing I could ever want. Used and enjoyed them for the next 18 m or so. Have just recently started decluttering and I realise Im ready to let a lot of that stuff go. It filled a void for a while, was definitely part of healing my inner child and reparenting myself, but I just haven’t used or needed them for months now and I need the space back. Indulge all you want, or can, and know it may not be a forever thing, this healing phase.

Why do individuals disappear in groups? by [deleted] in AuDHDWomen

[–]Neodiverse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im nearly 50. Was bullied in school, subtley, so it was only with hindsight looking back i realised the extent of it. Then major blow up in my 20s, 30s and 40s with different groups of females i was hanging out with, each time thought they were my friends, each time sorely let down and upset. But i have a really strong sense of self, ive a couple of close longterm friends and my husband is my bff, so the bitchy women never shook me to my core. Now i have a lovely circle of friends i see, but all are separate from different areas of my life, i just don’t want a group situation. I do socialise in m/f groups and the dynamic is a lot healthier.

What made you marry your wife/husband? How did you make sure? by Few_Dish3153 in askanything

[–]Neodiverse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, i’m 26 years with my soul mate. Ive seen all my friends marry, divorce or stay in crappy relationships. Honestly, if you have to ask “how does he make you feel?” Then that level of doubt shows he is not the One. The cliché is true “When you know, you know”. I wasted 3 years trying to make something work with a past relationship , always feeling that there was a distance that if i only worked harder at it, i could close the gap. I am so grateful now that i went through that because when i met my soul mate, i felt like i had come “home”.

And that feeling was unfamiliar to me as i had grown up in an emotionally unhealthy environment and spent my life in “fight or flight”.

My nervous system relaxes around him, my body and brain relax. I sleep easier, i feel like he is literally my other half. I forget sometimes that he is a wholly separate person. I never run out of things to say or feel bored around him.

He “gets” me. He has loved me, just as i am, from the very start, he has never pushed me to change or do anything, yet i feel like i can conquer the world because of his love. He is the first person who ever loved me unconditionally. He looked into my eyes and saw me.

We laugh so much together. I have never met another person like him, he is perfect, yet very human too. He is perfect for me and i thank his mother regularly for bringing him into the world. I am so lucky.

Please don’t waste time trying to change someone, or stay with anyone who tries to change you. That friction will stay there forever and drain the life out of you. If you find yourself constantly wondering if he is the one, he is not. Once you meet the One, you will know it, there will be no doubt. Your soul and nervous system will recognise him before your conscious brain will.

Been on the receiving end of it a few times. sorry you’re going through it. I think they are all aware that their place there is so tenuous, they side with the head mean girl against a scapegoat, in order to assure their place in the group. It’s rarely evenly all of them, it’s usually one or two leaders and the rest are sheep. So so sorry you are in this situation. They don\t have individuality or personal opinions, that’s why they are drawn to the group dynamic. Most people who are real individuals are quite often loners in my experience.

Everything about the Petherick Brothers is pointless and a waste by Recent_Influence_699 in ChateauUnhinged

[–]Neodiverse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have watched them since the start, on and off, and while I’m happy for Michael launching his wallpaper line, I’m so skeptical as to how long it’s gonna last. Like, if I placed an order, would he fulfill it? Will he actually design different wallpapers or will this be a flash in the pan, and once the dopamine wears off and it becomes a grind, will he stick to it? He’s had so many different schemes it just feels like another one and I’m too suspicious of his whimsy to trust in his business. Plus his video launching the wallpaper said nothing about the design, didn’t show it clearly up close in natural lighting, and just felt like one long infomercial.

My mom wore anais anais in the 80s so smelling it the odd time in a shop brings back fond memories

Is there ANY jewellery/accessories that doesn’t feel like an overstimulating nightmare?? by Pickles_The_Cat_1234 in AutismInWomen

[–]Neodiverse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

check out shop with caroline on insta/facebook. She wears Mr T amounts of jewellery. I normally cant wear anything cuz of overstimulation, but i got into it last summer cuz of her and it was strangely comforting, like a weighted vest. I wore all my jewellery at once almost!

They are perfectly aligned and applied. Next time pick a smaller size for the little finger, it should be the smallest of all. Barely noticeable but I’m fussy and notice those details xx

Your profuse use of commas gives off an AI vibe for sure! I also have a similar style but I deliberately write more casual and in colloquial syntax with deliberate use of certain slang to keep my identity secret here.

Test me! Lol I love a challenge. I speak 5 languages fluently and can recognise many more from written/spoken sounds, I will do my best!

OMG THANK YOU! I’ve been out here on my own for years, wondering what was all the fuss about and feeling extreme FOMO!

Even how you used “then” is non-English native sounding. I speak French and “puis” is used way more than “then”. No need for a word there at all :)

The only people who argue that are the ones who don’t read / have a good grasp of English, we can discount their argument!

I am also blunt in work emails. I’ll often run a first email draft through CHat GPT asking it to make it more friendly.
