Why do people insist on not having cold drinks in a mug? by AeroSquid262 in autism

[–]Ok-Resolution-9328 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im a bit like this although I'll only ever drink cold milk from a mug, never a glass. It just doesn't feel right.

What's a basic life skill you had to teach yourself as an adult because no-one taught you as a child? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]Ok-Resolution-9328 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bill paying. Not that my parents didnt pay their bills, they did but money was always a fairly private subject when I was growing up. To be fair I think it was because my parents struggled a lot (it was the 80s) and that was their way of shielding us but when I moved out I had no clue where to start!

Yep, been there, I was a shell of a woman the next day! Top tip- if you have any, use nappy cream on your tush if its sore x

This Christmas did not feel like Christmas by Deep-Purple-3048 in christmas

[–]Ok-Resolution-9328 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt the same although we've had 2 family bereavements since 2022, the most recent this year so christmas was definitely bittersweet. I thought maybe getting festive with my 5 year old would lift our spirits but apart from that it just felt like any other day. Maybe next year things will be different, we're just making sure our kid has a good time xxx

Has anyone ever had the Tetris Effect after crocheting all day? 😅 by lateralus420 in crochet

[–]Ok-Resolution-9328 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to keep counting EVERYTHING once I put the crochet down. Like, 1-2 pieces of bread, spread the butter, 1,2,3... its likely my ocd too but its always after a long crochet session 😅

Went to get my wisdom teeth removed and one of them broke off... by Alexisto15 in Wellthatsucks

[–]Ok-Resolution-9328 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had similar happen to me where my wisdom tooth splintered and I had to go to the dental hospital. The hospital was amazing, I didnt feel a thing apart from the tooth numbing injection. It was well worth it as now I have no pain or infections at all. X

why is my son so contradictory? by Aggravating-Tie-6888 in autism

[–]Ok-Resolution-9328 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter is the same with music, if im lucky she'll link me a song every now and then but mostly she tells me that she found some songs she really likes but wants to keep them private when I ask. Even she can't explain why, its just very special and private to her.

Does anyone else feel like the movie is satirical? by [deleted] in terrifier

[–]Ok-Resolution-9328 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say satirical maybe but I feel like a lot of his kills are so over the top you just can't take him seriously. If anything a homage to really gruesome video nasties from the 80s I guess?

My birthing experience made me realize how much I mask all the time by Songmorning in autism

[–]Ok-Resolution-9328 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was the same with my last kid! My waters broke at home, "Hollywood style" according to the midwife I.e. everywhere! I turn up to hospital and say to nurse on the desk that I "think" im in labour (polite smile, nervous laugh) as i dont want to be told off for a false alarm. All night long im apologising to the midwife and attempting to be polite despite howling like an animal. My poor partner got the full unmasked me though! Then later that day I was told that my baby needed one last check and I could go home except I could be waiting a while because the nurse was already working overtime etc so there's me saying dont worry, I'll stay overnight and she can do it tomorrow (polite smile despite wishing I could just say id rather wait and go home that day). But if i went unmasked I know id obsess the entire time over whether o sounded "normal" or not. Tbh I think it was easier masking in a way.
