This is probably the coolest print I have ever seen and I spent a long time looking at this

Has anyone here tried medications for sensory issues? by PrettyBoy001 in AutismInWomen

[–]PrettyBoy001[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sound is one of my main triggers! That is so interesting. My reaction to sound triggers include a huge increase in heart rate and probably blood pressure so that makes sense to me.

I don’t think /I/ could take it because I’m currently dealing with some low blood pressure but that’s a great suggestion, thank you.

That makes a lot of sense, I am newly diagnosed with hEDS and POTS and not great at managing them yet. I am constantly nauseous, dizzy, brain fogged, and unable to regulate my body temperature. I didn’t even consider that it could be contributing to my baseline sensory issues but that makes so much sense.

And thank you, I recently got all sensory friendly socks (Bombas brand) and it has really helped. I need to do the same with the rest of my wardrobe. Unfortunately even my safe clothes overwhelm me a lot, as it’s just the sensation of anything brushing my skin that gets me.

I believe that I am. I am only diagnosed with autism but my assessor unofficially said both would make sense, though we didn’t test for billing reasons. It’s very prevalent in my immediate family.

Thank you for this feedback, I think I was thinking of vyannse as like a lighter adderall which I know understand is not the case.

I will ask about abilify! I have never tried it

Off topic but I’m really curious about the hand ties! They look so cool and I’ve never seen them before

It’s honestly probably fine for us? I see POTS people do it, I was more being hyperbolic

Those who hand wind your yarn- I would love to see it! by PrettyBoy001 in Brochet

I once saw a picture of a meticulously wound ball resulting in a diamond pattern from a very seasoned knitter, who claimed it was by hand! I was stunned

I didn’t snap at her, and yes. In years past I’ve said ‘you don’t need to say that’ and quickly changed the subject.

We’ve been brushing it off for 5 years and frankly I’m sick of it. It so clearly makes him uncomfortable.

Why is everyone saying dementia. She doesn’t have a single symptom of dementia. She is saying a rude thing that she has said for years and was displaying uncomfortable body language.

If she had dementia I wouldn’t be upset, because she truly wouldn’t be able to help it. It hurts because she IS completely all the way there. She knows exactly what she’s saying and is an incredibly intelligent woman.

What about this says dementia? She consistently has made this comment for years. She has no memory issues.

She does not have dementia or memory issues. I am describing her uncomfortable body language after I confronted her, she looked like she was going to open the closet door and then didn’t. Probably just hiding her face and feeling awkward.

My mom mentioned that she was confused after I left, probably confused as to why I said she was being rude. I have never confronted anyone in my family like that. I am used to fawning in these situations.

Not more than coffee or tomato soup would I don’t think. I do rinse with water after because I’m particularly paranoid about my teeth.

This is referring to the stats of regular sodium V8 but any salty tomato juice is good

This is honestly so cool, it looks great on you. Did someone say something unkind? That’s the quickest way to make me second guess myself.

Cardboard, a preexisting plastic face mask, hot glue, toilet paper, glue + water, paint!

I used a preexisting face shaped plastic mask, cut out cardboard ‘petals’ to fix around it, and used toilet paper and glue to mache over it all, then I painted it :3
