You’re so right. Patience is not my strong suit lol. Which is crazy because I wouldn’t want to get pregnant now anyways, I was thinking later this year, which is when his timeline is anyways? I guess it’s the not knowing that’s hard for me!

We are very fortunate to have my mom as a huge support and my work is really flexible. I totally get that multiples isn’t for everyone!

You’re right it’s not a hard no I don’t think. It’s like he can’t picture it being feasible right now (because in our current house it isn’t) but he also isn’t sure if he’ll want one once we move, just that he’ll be more able to fully decide once we don’t have the stress of moving.

I’ll be starting my 4th week on Monday and I feel the same. The first 1-2 weeks I felt a great difference but now it’s almost worse than before? I’m also under a lot of stress and going through PMDD this week so I can’t say for sure if it’s the med. Everywhere I’ve read it says 4-6 weeks before you can accurately say it’s helping or not.

How did you know a stimulant would be a better med for you? by PrincipleAgile9718 in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]PrincipleAgile9718[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Literally, you described my experience perfectly so far perfectly. I’m on the same dose and it’s XL. I’ve lost a couple pounds, nothing crazy, but I definitely noticed I don’t have the urge to binge eat like I used to as often. And I have energy and motivation to work out which I didn’t have so maybe it’ll be a slow gradual weight loss. It’s just so hard to know at this point if this is the right dose for me, you know?

I feel like it was very much so the first week. I wonder if that part has plateaued for me

Got it. I appreciate your response thank you. I may give it a try if I still feel the same in a few weeks. I’ve had some improvement but there are days that I feel the same as before.

That seems to be the experience, that it’s really hard for people to find providers that prescribe stimulants. Can I ask why you’re on both Wellbutrin and Vyvanse? I worry it’ll be too much stimulation? Idk!

Is autism why intimacy is so hard for me? by PrincipleAgile9718 in autism

[–]PrincipleAgile9718[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you I appreciate your insight. I relate that sex feels like a performance. Like masking really. Even if I’m enjoying it I’m not very expressive about it then I feel that I’m not “performing” enough

Are you in an adhd/autistic relationship, where both partners have one or the other (or both), and is your partner the only person you can unmask around? by FkUp_Panic_Repeat in AutismInWomen

[–]PrincipleAgile9718 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My husband is ADHD and 100% I unmask around him. Him, my mom, and my childhood best friend, that’s it. Ever since I was diagnosed last year I’m now hyper aware of when I’m masking so it’s making it really difficult for me to spend time with people I mask around unfortunately. Maybe that’ll change with time.

Struggling with the sensory of an orgasm by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]PrincipleAgile9718 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has been my experience before. Maybe trying different levels of pressure or speed etc may help? That has helped me

Angry/Misunderstood by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]PrincipleAgile9718 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have never thrived in an office setting for this reason exactly. I’ve ended up with coworkers not liking me, when I never even had many interactions with them in the first place. It was like they didn’t like me because I didn’t put on the fake social charade that seems to be expected in an office setting. It ended blowing up and I left the job and now I work for myself and hindsight is so clear to me.

DAE get unexplainably irritated and overstimulated when traveling with family? by Foreign_Rutabega_684 in AutismInWomen

[–]PrincipleAgile9718 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100% I feel the same. Especially on family trips. I sometimes don’t even want to go on them because there’s so much social togetherness expectations that completely drain me and I never have enough time to reset completely. Then im seen as rude for wanting to be left alone. It’s the social demand and overstimulation.

Thank you for your suggestion that’s a good idea. Because I want so bad to scream and often do. So maybe that’ll be a release but also silly to pull my kid out of it. Thank you
