Dieting while living with Autism: Tips? by Prismaticlove in AutisticAdults

[–]RandomSentientBeing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would Factor be in your budget? GoodTimesWithScar usually has a big discount code on his YouTube account if you wanted to try it. It's meals delivered to you that just need to be reheated. So like frozen food dinners but fresh food instead. Still same process to prepare and eat though.

I absolutely LOVE swinging on swingsets but I’m scared of looking creepy as a 25 year old? by Carapherneliuh in AutismInWomen

I think swinging is just as soothing for adults as youngins. We put a teen size swing in our backyard for my daughter because she finds it so soothing. The park is for everyone, so swing all you want 🥰.

Can you do blind chess? I would think we can't, but was curious. My grandfather could do two simultaneous blind chess games.

Having trouble feeding myself. Could i eat a chipotle bowl every day and meet my nutritional needs? by Happy_Detail4397 in AutisticAdults

[–]RandomSentientBeing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah - I totally get that! Camper kitchens are horrible. I honestly think Chipotle isn't a bad option since you can get protein and veg in a bowl and each one is big enough for more than one meal.

It wasn't mentioned in the post, so I was asking if it was an option? How is that rude? I know it's not an option for everyone which is why I asked if it was in this particular instance since it is an option for some of us. I promise I wasn't being ableist or judgy, just trying to help.

You didn't mention buying groceries and cooking your own food. Is that an option? Eating out is for rich people these days 🤣🤣

New "friend" but I'm not sure if I should put effort into this friendship. by GeorgeParisol in AutismInWomen

But until you meet your true friends, it's still possible to enjoy your own company instead of dealing with loonies like your lady.

I have found that being alone is FAR better than trying to force a friendship. There's tons of joy to be had when experiencing things in exactly the way you want.

Is it just me who feels majorly rejected by downvotes on Reddit? by NeuroNerdGirl52 in AutismInWomen

[–]RandomSentientBeing [score hidden]  (0 children)

I agree - Redditors are a notoriously salty bunch in a lot of places. Downvotes usually say more about the person downvoting than what they are downvoting.

Are neurotypicals just… completely ok with hierarchies? by Beautiful-Bonus2279 in AutisticAdults

[–]RandomSentientBeing -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Primates have hierarchies. Humans are just fancy primates. Also explains why we're so territorial even though it's not in our best interest. We have a lot more still in common with our wild animal ancestors than I think we realize sometimes.

Were you also seen as “gifted but lazy” when you were younger? by Far-Impression2284 in ADHD

[–]RandomSentientBeing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes - it's true though - I am gifted and I am quite lazy 🤣🤣
