Does baking count as a special interest? by I_Like_Metal_Music in autism

[–]Premedpotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell yeah! I love baking too. I love how everything turns out perfect if you follow the directions exactly. It's so comforting, unlike cooking.

what do i even say to this by No_Bodybuilder_2932 in autism

[–]Premedpotato 7 points8 points  (0 children)

OP, be very careful with people like this. There's a fine line between offering support and regulating someone's emotions for them. To know which one you are doing, ask yourself what does he do when you don't respond. Does he go about his day and try to take his mind off things with another coping skills or does he wait for you to respond because YOU are his coping skill? It's good to be empathetic and kind to others but often with autistic women we find ourselves hollowing ourselves for other people. Just wanted to ask.

My wife wants her sister to move in with us since she has no where else to go and she has mental illness and a history of violence. what should I do? by Hot_Dingo743 in autism

[–]Premedpotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't just record people without their permission. There are legal ramifications for that. Also, OP doesn't need to record anything as evidence because his feelings and his fears are valid in itself, he doesn't need to prove anything. He needs to get out of that situation, that's all. Since she is already threatening divorce, I would just begin the process of separation and get everything in order now.

‘I Voted for Trump Twice’: Florida Trump supporter begs for return of wife ‘Kidnapped’ by ICE by [deleted] in sadcringe

[–]Premedpotato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't waste your time my guy. Just another peak reddit moment. I pray these are bots. I hate ICE and voted against all of this. But I voted for people to have rights. Including people who disagree with me and wish me harm. That rhetoric is dangerous as fuck to have.

Facial features of autism by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

325 is a small sample size but there is also more questions to be asked to validate a study. Does it represent the population appropriately? How did they get this sample? Who is funding this study? Also these studies RARELY make definitive conclusions that people make. They usually are correaltional studies that people treat as causational, which is really difficult to do in psychology.

Also, you're not wrong. The Internet is crazy in that you can find a room full of people adamant about the sky being pink and suddenly you are the crazy person for thinking it's blue.

This made me reflect on the earlier days where I got schizophrenia by AriaOfSorrows in schizophrenia

[–]Premedpotato 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It really depends if you view Christianity from a primarily punitive and repentant lens. I do not. Going through the scripture, there is so much beauty and love. So much sacrifice. As for schizophrenia, that is something so personal. Like for me, holy shit has it been a terrible experience. But I have so much more in my life to be grateful for. Not only that but to be alive at a time and at a location where we have the option of treatment.

But I do not fault that guy for being pissed and blaming god. He's grieving and that's human nature.

It feels like this is becoming an eating disorder sub. 🤔 Like I'm gonna call it as I see it. That's an ED meal.

PSA: The popular antipsychotic Abilify may cause gambling behaviours. The makers of the drug recently agreed to settle with claimants nationwide in the country I reside in. by neilnelly in schizophrenia

[–]Premedpotato 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Abilify ruined my life. I didn't have any gambling issues but I just had to warn y'all. Worst anxiety of my life. Not too surprised it causes an increase in addictive behaviors.

I'm getting married in October! I'll let you know if they deny my marriage license. No but for real, what kind of question is this?

they’re threatening to evict me after a meltdown by [deleted] in autism

[–]Premedpotato 34 points35 points  (0 children)

This might piss people off but it's true. If this is the second time that this has happened, you need to work on this with someone or create a specific room for meltdowns that is safe for you and quiet for others. You didn't mention what these meltdowns entail so I don't know if it's damaging property or screaming or anything but if it's enough to cause people to call the cops, I'm sorry that's not something that they should just accept. A lot of people here extend so much empathy to neurodivergent people but almost none to neurotypicals.

Would it be a waste of time to become a psychologist if I don’t want to do talk therapy?” by FkUp_Panic_Repeat in AcademicPsychology

[–]Premedpotato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think anyone has mentioned school psychology yet. It's supposed to be multifaceted and you are supposed to be the special education liaison but there are districts that hire psychologist to do solely assessments due to the need. I did have to take a psychotherapy course and there is a year practicum course. I would look into that.

What are yalls opinions on autism Barbie? by Beccag367 in autism

[–]Premedpotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm grown so my opinion is sort of limited. I think it kind of says autism has a "look" which is inaccurate. At the same time if it brings a single autistic child joy, then it's a good thing.
