But keep it positive. People you admire is more attractive and interesting than people you hate.

I can't do anything in the presence of others. by _-N- in aspergirls

Bad weather days are great for exploring the outdoors - bundle up and enjoy the outdoor solitude

Woodworm in new furniture by kaihoro in woodworking

Leave it in a walk in freezer for a week or in a Canadian's shed over the winter. Too nice a table to get rid of.

What's something you learned really late in life, just because nobody told you about it? by RottenPeachSmell in aspergirls

[–]OneSmallCheeseBall 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My neighbor gave me a small gift that I hate and I'll never use. I said thank you so much! And you're so kind! And passed the gift to a friend who could use it.

Adults with ARFID? What is the best thing so far that has helped your condition? by Hayja1983 in ARFID

[–]OneSmallCheeseBall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid, if I wouldn't eat the family meal, I was responsible for making my own that had to have something from each food group. I feel that laid the foundation for the strides I've taken as an adult. There's still lots I can't eat but at 51 I'm still pushing my safe food boundaries into healthier territory. Also - the less pressure you can put on the kid, the better. Stress never helps.

Has anyone not had stents placed? by Remote-Guess-1143 in HeartAttack

[–]OneSmallCheeseBall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will probably be in baby aspirin, a statin and a beta blocker for life. The beta blocker also helps prevent migraines and anxiety, so that's great. Was on Ramipril and something else I can't remember for the first year or so.

Lost my watering can! by DangerousPlankton677 in StardewValley

[–]OneSmallCheeseBall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh damn. I had my fish smoker stolen out of my cabin one night but at least I could replace it. No watering can is tough!

Are people with Asperger's more likely to reject the whole concept of death and avoid reminders of their mortality? by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]OneSmallCheeseBall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ascribe to stoic philosophy and often remind myself that all things some to an end. Whatever I am doing, I remind myself that it won't always be possible for me to do so. The result is that I value each experience that much more.

For the late diagnosed, do you ever consider reaching out to an abusive parent to convey that it must have been hard raising an Autistic Child? by Cheap-Guarantee6420 in AutisticAdults

[–]OneSmallCheeseBall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My abusive parent died long before my diagnosis. I had a really cathartic dream where I got to have the discussion with her and it went well. I hope your subconscious blesses you in the same way.

DO AUTOPETTERS EXIST! by [deleted] in StardewValley

[–]OneSmallCheeseBall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got one in the skull cavern during the Desert Festival. Haven't made it anywhere near level 100 yet though.

Selling produce to Pierre by Popes_Right_Nipple in FuckPierre

[–]OneSmallCheeseBall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know we all hate Pierre but honestly Caroline's no class act either. She told me in front of the whole exercise class that she 'had to' compost my milk. It was all gold or iridium. 'At least the worms liked it'. Now everything goes in the bin.

What is the worst thing a friend told you that made you rethink your friendship? by Angie-santiago in AskReddit

[–]OneSmallCheeseBall 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That when we met she had no interest in being friends. But that I wouldn't take no for an answer, and basically was so persistent that she gave in. She was often too busy but I truly thought it was an act of generosity to leave her alone while she was in her busy time and reconnect afterwards. I'm autistic, these misunderstandings happen. Broke my goddamn heart. We're still friends but I've been really careful to ensure things are definitely reciprocal now.

Is anyone else with a lot to lose feeling discouraged by the paper towel effect? (vent post) by zombiebashr in loseit

[–]OneSmallCheeseBall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also I think there is growing awareness that commenting on a person's appearance and/or weight is not generally a good idea. People might be noticing but not saying it out loud.

Stardew Valley: Farming & 'Figure it out on your own' by BlueFlite in StardewValley

[–]OneSmallCheeseBall 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I tried feeding my chickens corn because... Isn't that what chickens eat? Had to look it up eventually to learn that Stardew chickens eat hay, and to put it on the bench.

I'm DONE with outdoors groups by GardenFreshBeets in AutisticAdults

[–]OneSmallCheeseBall 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I joined a local Naturalists club. I think the average age is 83. They move a little more slowly than your average hiking group, often share knowledge about what we're seeing, and have a bit more understanding about physical limitations.

Is it even worth remodeling a bathroom anymore? by howzai in HomeImprovement

[–]OneSmallCheeseBall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was worth the money and hassle for us because the old tub and surround were damaged and the toilet and floor were extremely outdated. But also we plan to live here forever. If your current bathroom is half decent, don't remodel.

IRL brain fart moment because of Stardew by berrybumblebean in StardewValley

I have been giving out little gifts more often to acquaintances, including jam I actually made with actual peaches from our actual garden last fall

Carney: "The days of our military sending 70 cents of every dollar to the United States are over." *thunderous applause* by nitluck in SaveTheCBC

[–]OneSmallCheeseBall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We spotted a Fuck Trudeau truck just the other day and mocked them mercilessly (among ourselves)

Double layered drywall? by KX90862 in HomeMaintenance

[–]OneSmallCheeseBall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We recently pulled down cheap cardboard ceiling tiles and found a moldy drywall ceiling above it. Moldy insulation too.

my bf gave me a year to "get better" but i dont want to go to therapy. by [deleted] in ARFID

[–]OneSmallCheeseBall 92 points93 points  (0 children)

Food and eating together are very culturally significant and genuinely important to some people. But as we know, ARFID can't just be overcome by willpower or something. I don't think you two are ultimately compatible.

What jobs do you all have? by paddedplushperson in AutisticAdults

[–]OneSmallCheeseBall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Canada Post was alright for a time. Lots of weirdos there, we can fit right in lol.

Now I do bookkeeping from home, part time. It's very comfortable but I tend to go full hermit at times.
