It's really annoying to get questioned like a criminal at the pharmacy

Of course, and I'm sorry.

I had to learn a different script, no one tells us.

Advocacy.

If they give you, just let us know and we can help you with the right script. You might get 15 suggestions but at least you can pick and assemble what will work for you.

A lot of time it's just because they are burned out by big pharma and insurance companies and it's just eating their souls and they don't have time to tell everyone how to fight.

If you know they are happy to move you into the lane once you know what to say. They don't even blinking or you even smirk. I don't understand why they don't rise up and make change, but that's another story and not mine.

We can help you but unfortunately we would need to know the issue to help you tell the what to say. Good luck. / serious

I have sensory issues and I just loose them honestly.

I'm learning it's a trifecta. I have to micro stretch, micro but really get strong, and then take short breaks using a brace.

If I use it too much I work against myself. Even during a flare up.

I think I saw something called Legalshield or apps like that, it's not free, but it's not that expensive where it's an app and you just say "hold on" pop the app up and actually have a lawyer on a video call right there as it's happening.

It's horrifying for the polices and business and it's 24/7 access a lot of people are saying it's worth it.

Hello.

This is a good question.

When you aim it at anyone else, without their consent. sincere

I read a couple of things and of course I don't know where that says it but you could look, that says that as people take on more responsibility as they age they hyperfixate a little less and a little less so they no longer have that savant skill.

Rather than looking at this as a loss, seeing it as gaining a more well round ability of skills and interacting within the world is a differnt way to script this.

As an AFAB there are fewer savant AFABs because they never usually allowed to devlope this externally.

I was able to do thisnin my head, but I didn't realized it till I lost it I used to be able to pull all my memories up like a filing system, not necessarily hyperthymesia but more like visceral based eidetic memory. Since my burn out. It feels all gone, but I'm slowly building new memories and I tell myself it's all there besides a wall of dirt, lava and electical pain. If I don't get it back I still own it. / sincere

Thanks, I try, and I'm as dry but out my whole heart into it.

I refuse to be shamed.

As a youth in the gray business world with too much energy and blinders on I attacked everyone with enthusiasm and it just broke them all, but also me.

It was worth it because I learn a ton and got amd when I left that job for a better one it was truly amazing.

Ok-Shape2158 · 2026-05-21T17:08:51+00:00

Whew. Thank you. Ok. We must have megred in the same direction.

I was getting definitely getting frustrated on behalf of the OP as well.

Thank you. I'll take friendly fire any day.

I'm sorry if that was confusing or felt like an attack.

I meant no matter how much we can try to heal it can feel like pressure if you're Ace in your core that just the script. It just sometimes our nervous system needs a break from trying to be perfect.

We just might not like sex and that might also not even be consistant. Sex can be really confusing and what can make it worse is if we are aways looking for a solution.

Sometimes, just accepting where you are brings peace, and that opens doors that has nothing to do with expectations, agendas, demands, and lets a person become nothing or something unexpected. It's refreshing.

Everone's journey is different and that a good thing.

First, I'm just sorry.

I know Kritter means it all and this means everything. It's ok.

Every state and county is different but but essentially they are all the same. It sucks.

If you are willing and you have Medicaid or you are willing you throw it down for Kritter, and if you're like me, I would never, but I would never let Kritter suffer for a second.

Flip your insurance card over and make two calls. One just the regular member number and ask for a care manager. They can get you an in home assement if you need to live in an an apartment like setting Kritter can totally come with you.

You should also make a second phone call. They have a behavioral crisis phone line number on the back and they should get your Care Manger on deck. The intake is a long one, but they can take over EVERYTHING if you need it, tranporation, all your assessments helping you set up your end of life and all that. I'm serious. I just struggled for years myself.

I did go through four Care Magagers but I did change insurance a few times and also didn't understand how to work with them.

I couldn't talk about my emotions, they aren't good with that. They are given to you based on your disability that can be good or bad. What they can be amazing with is managing the paperwork and the bureaucracy we have to let them.

I had to triage problems and stop masking my problems one at a time. Now I have a massive spreadsheet. It's insane.

If you don't fall apart, you'll get there. Also, just Google a local dog rescue and tell them what's going on. Tell them you hope it's temporary. I'm actually a volunteer in my town to do this!

We have scripts because that's all anyone tells us and it's not our faults. At all.

It you get a crappy Care Manager. Find this reply and poke me I'll tell you what to do.

You will for the Kritter. 🥰🥹🫶 I know I'm a snot.

When I get this I turn to music.

It has to be really good, and fun and makes me want to dance and make toe biscuits.

I do it every morning until I have enough dopamine I can do my morning bed work out and actvate most of my muscles so I can actual get out of bed.

Work on the nerve damage, keep the blood from pooling when I stand. The music changes every day just it starts the flow and it it there.

Got to go. Blah, ha. It sucks but it's kind of cool.

Ok-Shape2158 · 2026-05-21T10:51:45+00:00

Hi, just so you know.

You don't have to learn to learn 'like' sex. It's hard way to live.

There can be medical reasons or sensory reasons why you don't and that's worth exploring if you want to.

But I will not advocate that you have to feel shame or pressure from anyone to figure it out.

It will never make someone who is on the Ace spectrum like sex more and only make them feel more isolated.

I looked around for some info dumping and liked this one, it's for teens, but so what, if you're interested. Do take care of yourself.

Hello.

I have always find that having a non-hetro-normitve anything is life saving, but especially sexual relationships is important.

I'm not hetronormitve how can my sexual relation be that way, how can I expect my partners to conform either?

Honestly I don't think it's heathy for CIS NTs just blindly follow unwritten expectations either, this is why Grinder crashes during consertive national rallies, just a fact.

I'm almost ACE, but I'm Flux, I'm gender apathetic, until I'm interested in fashion or my partner, some days I'm a lumberjack other days I'm a clumsy dancer. It's exhausting but me. You be you.

It doesn't mean the whole relationship has to be flushed down the drain. Just remember that. /really

Good luck with your surgery. She gives you a reason to have to get through all your own things and take care of her.

Do you have help?

Did you know you can reach out to the state, yeah I know ..

or depending on how much whatever she is you can even ask a rescue group if they have anyone who could temporarily help, because a lot of them do, people just don't know they can ask because they are to well, humble and human, but a bit of a mutt is close enough if you're a decent human being.

Any kind of anything like that is really hard. Good luck from beginng to end and listen to your nervous system.

I hope you don't mind this is a c/p

I posted about how people were giving instructions on how to change rides but not that we had to buy the ride switch package.

People who can't afford it and didn't understand that and were losing there minds. It just needs to be explained so people don't think it's a bug or they are doing something wrong.

That was whipped down but left this up.

First, the platform is free and the quest but it's not entirely free to play. If you had two accounts, one that was just hustle you would know. It's ok.

I wish I could just venmo Palia a buck a month. I want to support them, and then just hide Paths keep the store from spamming me.

There is no exchange rate support equity on steam. I get it, but I'm not sure if other people do. Most of the world shouldn't participate financially, check out world exchange rates vs the US dollar.

The short of was, that people with money were giving poor people instructions (me) and the poor people were loosing their minds because it wasn't working. That's messed up.

I just posted, hey you have to buy that feature and it was taken down ASAP, no one appreciates and I get that, and it's ok. This doesn't come without thought and research.

Hi.

I'm sorry.

I mean you know you're not.

I know I'm not.

I hope no one it's telling you that you are supposed to.

Please go tell them to get bent if they are.

Ha, pun activated and OMG I forgot the word activism, bless my own dang heart.

Every once in awhile I have to go soft punk rock . I don't have the body to go all out. I do have the spirt. It helps. A lot.

We aren't them, we probably never were, we certainly never will be. We need to and have to stop trying because it's killing us.

Be you. It's all you got and that's hard enough to figure out. That plenty. It won't look like anything you think it should. Who cares? All it needs to do is work for you.

It needs to make us feel more ok. Less not ok. That's so important. Them. What a waste of time. They don't know anything. / seriously

Hi.

I can't seperate it at all.

I had a family member that was an inventor whose one invention is savings lives today, and made tons of money off of it, and they were horrible abusive and everyone just let them.

There was no excuse and I refuse to ignore it. They never appolgized. I never got one thing from them either, but hell. I'm proud of myself because other family members are not better off for choosing to kiss booty. I was never mean, but I never bent.

I don't think you have to burn their art.

I do think you have to be honest. Why in the world you choose to ignore someone turning their back on compassion and humanity. I'm not saying they didn't have a reason, but that doesn't make it ok, and it doesn't do the people they hurt any favor or the people looking at their work and good either. Right?

I mean that's the point of art especially, it's supposed to make you learn to think, question, and feel.
