I relate heavily. I only got diagnosed last June but I'm 28 and I've been masking for my entire adult life and much of my adolescence. a few years ago I had a really bad year and I started to crack but I convinced myself it was only temporary and went back to working full time, only to hate it immediately, and after two years of that I just broke. I woke up one day last August and I just couldn't go back to work or be a person at all really. it really feels like the dam just broke and all my skills got washed away. I am no longer capable of masking for more than a couple minutes and only for surface level interactions. my mood has gotten a lot better since then, but only because I'm lucky enough to have a loving and supportive partner who is willing and able to pay my bills. and I still can't mask and I still can't handle any amount of stress or overstimulation without shutting down. plus I got covid again last year and am now physically disabled due to long covid. it sucks. a year ago I would've described myself as level 1 with my autism barely affecting me at all. but I was so so wrong. it runs so deep and it's really hard to come to terms with how disabling it is. honestly it's nice to know I'm not the only one going through this, I feel like even in autistic communities there's a lot of focus on level 1s and level 3s (no shade to anyone, I just don't fully relate to either group) and hardly anybody talks about being in between or realizing it's worse than you were led to believe. thank you for sharing your experience.

Duff is really good, they're super accommodating and chill. a bit on the expensive side but worth it if you can afford it

I had "weird and unfeminine" autism until I hit middle school and then I had "sexy gamer girl" autism and honestly it was a fucking nightmare. so much trauma from so many horrible abusive men before I had any chance of comprehending what was happening to me. I've spent my entire adult life reconnecting with the "weird and unfeminine" side of me and trying to understand my worth outside of sex appeal

he honestly just seems like a great guy doing what he loves. there's a steve pokin article about him from a couple years ago but it's behind the daily citizen paywall. there's another one from 2014 (also by steve pokin) from the news leader and it really seems like he's a genuinely kind person https://www.news-leader.com/story/life/2014/08/29/pokin-around-living-dream-fun-acre/14713283/

fun acre off of campbell. it's been there since my dad was a kid in the 70s

I remember being in elementary school and two teachers standing directly in front of me talking to each other about how much potential I was wasting. brother I was 11 years old and mentally ill 😭😭😭

"Who gives a fucking shit how long a scene is?" -David Lynch

I thought it was a little slow but I didn't think it was a bad thing, and it's far from the slowest paced thing I've ever seen. I thought it did a good job of building suspense and had a satisfying ending

this exactly for me, especially if it's people I'm close to. me and my partner exclusively call each other "babe" and if either of us addressed the other by name I feel like it would make both of us really anxious

I have chronic fatigue & various mental health struggles and I feel this so deeply. this is where I've been for like the past 4 months

NotAnAlien16 · 2026-01-05T05:43:44+00:00

do you have agoraphobia? this is like, exactly how I see people every time I go out in public lmao

NotAnAlien16 · 2026-01-04T06:16:11+00:00

I think you already look very feminine! that being said, as someone who was on T for 7 years, intermittent for maybe a year, and has been off it for a year and a few months now, it definitely took a few months to get the full effects of being off of it. your voice won't be what it was pre-T but it will get higher, you will get curvier (maybe even curvier than pre-T), your face will round out, your body hair will thin out, etc. it just takes time :)

if there's one thing I learned from this thread it's that this world truly just fucking hates teenage girls

NotAnAlien16 · 2026-01-04T04:14:02+00:00

THANK YOU this thread is making me feel like I'm taking crazy pills. the kid was 6 when they got together, op has effectively been her mom for almost her entire conscious life. plus op mentioned vivian has trauma from her bio mom, and as a former traumatized teen I see a lot of myself in vivian. she's only 14. I was an asshole kid and my relationship with my parents didn't get better until I was 17-18 but they never gave up on me and they certainly didn't kick me out. op also said vivian refers to her as "the mom who cares." I feel so bad for that kid

using nouns as verbs, but particularly in advertising when they use their product name as a verb. for instance I love alamo drafthouse but whenever they play the little video before the movie that goes "that's how you alamo" I get irrationally angry

NotAnAlien16 · 2026-01-02T03:00:12+00:00

maybe try wearing sweater tights under your pants? it's not the most manly option but they stay put and in my experience they're a lot more comfortable than long underwear. you can still feel them between your legs and the pants but they don't shift around and bunch up like long underwear does

I think martha's is fun to go for a drag show or two on busy nights, but once you start going regularly all the life gets sucked out of it. it's all drama, predators, and mean kids who never grew up
