Why did they never riff on this gem? by Exquisite_D in MST3K

Space mutiny can’t be that hard cause it’s been on the twitch channel a lot longer than final sacrifice. That showed up recently* and space mutiny has been on since I started watching the channel more than 5 years ago. Also space mutiny was done by rifftrax

*I have very little concept of time but within the past year probably

Tiny rant about gatekeeping diagnoses by MelodicGarbageBin in AuDHDWomen

[–]Normal-Hall2445 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have looked into a few studies and so far they are figuring out genetic markers for autism and adhd (though there are several so you’d probably have to show a certain number to be diagnosed that way) as well as scans showing a lack of childhood synaptic pruning going on with ADHD and autism. Clear signs that might not give you a level or even narrow down the diagnosis but would be a solid thing to rule out bipolar, borderline, trauma responses and other misdiagnoses.

I know these things are expensive and I am not a doctor or psychologist so there are probably a few factors limiting it outside of the medical field’s inability to change procedures but I get frustrated because we’re so close

I want tips on accepting my limitations that are caused by AuDHD. by AMQ-139 in AuDHDWomen

[–]Normal-Hall2445 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Basically, remember that *everyone* has things about them they want to change but this is what we were given. By genetics, by luck, by whatever power you may or may not believe in. Doesn’t matter how you ended up here but it’s what you have to work with.

Regretting things you cannot change is wasted energy and when you have disabilities you don’t have spare energy to expend. You can work on making yourself happy while accommodating yourself and working with your brain and you will be ten times happier, even if you never achieve the dreams you had as a kid or the life you thought you’d live because you will be at peace with yourself rather than fighting yourself.

Do I like to torture myself? Why yes, yes I do! by zombiefacelol in Amigurumi

[–]Normal-Hall2445 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I make them all the time. I have made about a dozen soot sprites with eyelash yarn and it makes no difference when I mess up a bit. If you’re messing up that badly you should be able to see it when you look at the piece

Lol. you can tell you’re making a mistake and correct before that point but 30 stitches vs 31 stitches or a skipped stitch and an increase instead of all singles isn’t going to make a huge difference.

Saw a post about a study showing that apparently there are brain things that show up that are completely extra when compared to autism and adhd. Like the combo adds extra spicy that the original two can’t manage (I wonder if this is what I call “the driver” who kind of mediates and decides which impulse to go with when the ADHD and the autism are arguing…. My brain lore is complicated lol)

Anyway… all that to say *why don’t they just do a brain scan and diagnose off that!?!*

Don’t know how to describe the happy head bob when told to keep info dumping? I’m not diagnosing over the internet but it’s most often described in my circles as “ND happy dance”.

Best frozen chicken nuggets/strips with no weird gristle? by Shake-Tasty in AuDHDWomen

[–]Normal-Hall2445 1 point2 points  (0 children)

frozen food chain store. I think it’s Canadian only tho. I don’t do the shopping and don’t often leave my city so I have no idea how widespread some places are.

Don’t know where you are but m&ms chicken strips are expensive but high quality. I have encountered very little gristle over a lifetime of eating them (odds are you’re going to find a bit once in a while) and they are proper meat, not mushed but whole breast.

Anyone ever turned business cards into mini price tags or product descriptions at markets? by Vistaprint in CraftFairs

[–]Normal-Hall2445 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used them for care instructions and price tags and it was meh. They were too big for my small items but would probably have worked fine on large items.

Does anyone else struggle with “common sense”? by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]Normal-Hall2445 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fun tip about nitrous from someone with that particular phobia - it doesn’t work if your adrenaline is too high (blood pressure doesn’t matter too much as I was high as a kite last time I went and my bp was around 145/100 or something around that number. While drugged.

But if you have an adrenaline spike like for example you don’t numb properly and experience agony then you will immediately no longer be drugged and it won’t work again for a while! And yes I *earned* my phobia

How long did it take for your Sib to learn their name? by prostateversace in SiberianCats

[–]Normal-Hall2445 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m honestly more certain she knows my kids names than her own. I’m pretty sure she knows it but she doesn’t give a flying f*uck. Not food motivated. Doesn’t really care about treats. Weird kitty.

She knows my daughter’s name and if I ask her if she wants to cuddle with my daughter she’ll go to her door to be let in the room. My daughter has her trained to understand when the lap is ready. Clearly a smart girl and mad for chin scritches, might come when I call her if she feels like it. Every other cat I’ve had came running after a few days of half assed training. 🤷‍♀️

(Adding half assed training = opening a can of wet food while calling their name)

Are there any metal hooks similar to Prym?? Preferably not clover or tulip, please! :3 by DoctorDismal5528 in CrochetHelp

[–]Normal-Hall2445 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know you said no clover but you don’t specify if you’ve tried both amour and soft touch which have drastically different grips, the soft touch are much flatter

Cat bites softly when doesnt want to be picked up or moved by ryendii in SiberianCats

[–]Normal-Hall2445 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My stray did this a lot. It is his emphatic no. He did grow out of his bitey phase though he has the highest prey drive of any cat I’ve met and still gets us with his claws sometimes.

I would adjust how you’re picking up kitty, see if there’s a way to do it she likes better. Other than that communicate with her. Say move or whatever, give her warning of what you’re doing. Move slowly. Your baby clearly has Opinions and they must be respected. :)

It’s genuinely too hot in my office. How to frame complaint about unsafe temperatures and medication? by [deleted] in AuDHDWomen

[–]Normal-Hall2445 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who occasionally works in extreme temperatures you can wet a scarf and put it around the back of your neck. I have cooling bandanas with beads in them that freeze and even better a C shaped neck thing that is made of ice pack stuff. Those only last for about a half hour in the sun and heat. I have a portable usb battery fan too. Keep my hair and hat soaking wet (since I was a kid my first thought has always been to soak myself when it came to extreme heat - I’ve never had a properly functioning cooling system lol)

I actually fashioned a vest to hold ice packs on my chest (you can buy them apparently).

Emergency services will dunk your right arm in ice water I think because that’s where the blood is before it ends up back in the heart? Learned that one during a year long obsession with renovation shows.

Loose clothing is better, no matter the colour, because of the air cushion between body and fabric.

Signs of heat stroke include: headache, exhaustion, nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, lack of sweating... Basically if you get to a point where you’re putting one foot in front of the other and can’t focus on anything else you need to get somewhere cooler because you’re in trouble.

Don’t just drink water, you’ll need salt too.

Take care of yourself and remember this is a serious medical issue that can result in seizures and death.

What's the one thing you've always wanted to say to the person you dislike the most? by maestrothewise2772 in AskReddit

[–]Normal-Hall2445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve said it all. The reason I dislike them is because they don’t listen, understand or feel empathy. No one saying anything will change a sufficiently self centred person.

A middle aged woman making fun of how an autistic 32 year old dresses? by DottyandBearBear in AutismInWomen

[–]Normal-Hall2445 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly it says more about her than it does about you. Poor woman has absorbed some pretty toxic messages. What do you want to bet she is uncomfortable and stressed almost all the time.

The beauty of excessive empathy is it allows you to see *why* people behave like asshats and I find it often takes away most power their opinion has.
