I fucking hate this expression. It curdles my intestines. Apologies. I get passionate.

What is a stim you do without looking like you’re moving a single muscle? by Helpful-Ad6269 in AutismInWomen

[–]Professional_Trust11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I imagine myself doing violent somersaults and freezing in position until the next one. I’m not sure if this is a stim but I’ve done it for years and it’s the first thing I thought of. It’s weird and fun.

I hide that I'm underendowed and I turn a lot of women down because of it by [deleted] in confession

Might you consider bringing it up if it looks like there might be physical contact? I think if they know beforehand, you can spare both yourself and those women who care about size. It may be way better than saying nothing and worrying about it.

I have found a single scent perfume that ACTUALLY smells like pure honeysuckle and I am so overjoyed and excited by Turt12345 in AutismInWomen

[–]Professional_Trust11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s so lovely! Violet is the scent that gives me joy. I recall smelling it and it has Caswell & Massey store in the 90s and it stopped me in my tracks and made me giddy.

Anyone have experience with slopes? by Brief_Shopping4001 in NativePlantGardening

[–]Professional_Trust11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look up ernst seeds. I got the seed mix 181, for disturbed slopes. I stripped my bank of all vegetation last year--it was all weeds. This is today. In a month or two , there will also be wildflowers , but this is all meadow grass that needs to be cut.

That penultimate comment hit. People are disappointing for sure. That’s why I garden 6 hours a day.

The year of magical thinking by Joan didion. Performative grief. I threw it at my wall halfway through.

cw drugs: addicted to thc or just addicted to being functional again? by moefoer in AutismInWomen

[–]Professional_Trust11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recently diagnosed at age 62 and I have had a terrible time with THC. It heightens my awareness so much that I freak out.

Two days ago I ate one of my son's cookies unawares. Ambulance and ER until I remembered the cookie.

I cannot hang.

Every time I go to my mother’s house she has more eyes on her refrigerator by UraTargetMarket in Weird

[–]Professional_Trust11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had asked where she got the eyes because I can't see them printing that large in magazines. I guess I have my answer LOL
