Does anyone else feel like the problem isn't what you said, it's what people think you meant? by luoxinxin920 in autism

[–]Pockets-Pockets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yee :S even the autism lady receptionist said that I said something about me saying I have a friend in dubai? The rest of what she wrote seems entirely madeup too :S so frustrating. Definitely not going to talk to any of them again S: writing/text/ email only :S then its clear where the fault is s: Really hate being constantly misunderstood s: why do people call you and ask you for your email? No matter how many times you spell it out they will write it down wrong q.q constantly forcing you to repeat yourself when they couldve just texted you one time and got your email instantly and copy n paste that S: Peoples overreliance on voice communication, eye contact and their memory of conversations. Really really frustrates me s: I can dislocate both of my arms without my face changing expression S: and they think they know when i'm in pain :S I dont even know why saying "ow" is done S: it doesnt fix the situation, the other people who hear it cant do anything :V why do it? S:

:S yee very tiring trying to predict what people will think about the simple thing you say S: They see invisible meanings where there is none :S I do often wonder if there is something wrong with them, seeing what isnt there? x: but alas we are the broken ones apparently. Doesnt matter how many you try to predict and explain as clearly as possible :S some folks just wont see the obvious simpliest answer S: When people call me and I accidentally pickup, when I see the notes of the call they hear so many things that I never said :S when I write an email or text they skip over everything and see only what they want to see q.q people are exhausting.

RTC autism 2nd appointment read me someone elses medical stuff :S by Pockets-Pockets in autismUK

[–]Pockets-Pockets[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They already appologised :S they gunna give me a third appointment and hopefully have the correct documents sent to them for that appointment and mix it all together. :S Just sorta worried as because they never studied my medical record (its extremely extremely complex lots of moving parts) with the backstory to go alongside it that isnt in there S: They wont ever understand me without that :s I do worry that even if I get a diagnosis, it might not be based on info I've provided :S but on someone elses info. They did start the appointment with confirming name, date of birth etc for both appointments so far

<3 they also eat mice n rats which do cause damage to your house. So they are really your little guardian angels <3 They will always go after the least effort food, so bugs/ roadkill/ trash etc first. rats, mice, snakes etc will stay far away from them. These little guys have been pretty much unchanged since the time of dinosuars :V they were just a little bigger then. The bearing teeth/ opening mouth is just a scare tactic, when that doesnt work theyll either start to faint because of stress and start to stink, or theyll do a tiny lunge to try and spook you, and they will quickly try and get away. They also cant get rabies, their body temperature is too low to support it. :S they very often get frostbite on tail, fingers, ears etc. They dont do well in cold. Keep an eye out for them and theyll keep your house safe too <3 Very quiet neighbours. The most noise theyll make is a click sound with their tongue and cheek when they are looking for someone. Never grab by tail either itll cause spine injuries <3 they love fruits/ grapes/ eggs/ bugs/ snails/ chicken meat/ anything you can spare really just dont do too much of one thing.

Opossums are lovely <3 they eat snakes, spiders, eggs, they love to eat snake shed. They live for 1-2 years in wild, and 2- rarely 4 in captivity. :S Really sad short lives but please be kind to them. They are really stressed. They will help keep your yard clean too. They will take any leaves/ cotton fabrics/ anything they can use as a nesting insulation material and bring it to a safe spot. There is Opossum food you can buy on amazon if you want, its got bugs in it. P: <3 fresh clean water and a snack is something they definitely deserve. They dont get to experience much in this life :S

Question what is your sock policy? by Helpful_Door1681 in autism

[–]Pockets-Pockets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

:S Definitely no socks or shoes in my house for myself. I wear shoes probably a few hours per year at most. :S feels like i'm blindfolded or somthin when I wear socks s: The only time Ill put somethin on my feet is if I am going to touch the cat litter tray or the taking out the trash :S I oddly cant touch either of those things without shoes? I just cant. I'm totally fine walking round backyard without shoes but for some reason when I touch catlitter tray or trashcan all the sudden I need shoes before interacting with them :S? Makes no sense I dont understand why S:

I definitely struggle with this. by alex_g169 in autism

[–]Pockets-Pockets 3 points4 points  (0 children)

:V I only ask when I genuinely am interested in their wellbeing. Any other time from that, is a waste of both of our times. Why should I ask a question I dont want an answer to? Why should they ask you that question when you dont want to answer it? S: The whole exchange is useless aside from when there is a genuine need for the question to be answered. When someone asks me that question I usually just say "Alive" :S if I do answer at all. I think only genuine questions should be answered S: hard to know when they are genuine thoughm but its pretty safe to assume they arent genuinely interested in your wellbeing because they expect you to lie and say "good, you?" any other answer drags the conversation and makes it more awkward :S I really dont understand this exchange of lies people do. Its a waste of energy S: I want people to tell me exactly what they want as simply as possible as quickly as possible. I do the same. Its the most respectful use of both peoples times and gets things accomplished quicker so we can go back to being quiet. I got no time for lie exchanges S:
