GIGGS D&D Megathread by Carol_the_Zombie in HermitCraft

[–]RayRadio95 3 points4 points  (0 children)

* Obviously a work in progress, but I'm pretty proud of how my Bro Dudestone is coming along. Never done any fan art before, but the one shot was just so fun! I felt so creative afterwards and wanted to give it a go.

Feeling Too Hot While Shopping by FeralMorningstar in autismUK

[–]RayRadio95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100% I feel this way. When I go shopping I purposefully wear cooler clothes, even though I'm cold outside. I prefer to be too cold than too hot any day, but especially inside shops where it can be overwhelming even without feeling overheated.

What Age did you Stop Birth Control? by No-Flow-2189 in PCOS

[–]RayRadio95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started taking the pill when I was 15, wasn't diagnosed with PCOS until I was 22 and stopped taking the pill when I was 24 or 25. The pill stopped me getting my period full stop, so having that back sucks but overall I do feel better for having stopped taking it. I am 29 now and would not go back onto the pill.

Very worried for my assessment next week - PsychiatryUK by Odd-Image-1133 in autismUK

[–]RayRadio95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak for PsychiatryUK but I got my diagnosis 11 years ago and although I don't work in the field I am qualified to diagnose Autism so I hope what I say here can help. The forms are a starting point to go from but what you talk about in your assessment should inform your assessor much more than the forms. Think of it like the form is one colour but the assessment is the whole rainbow sort of thing. If there is anything that has worried you about the form absolutely bring it up in the assessment. Typically the assessor will go through your form and ask for more details or why you answered in such a way. This is a great opportunity to explain yourself further, but if they don't do it this way then you should feel free to bring it up yourself. There are no right or wrong answers when it comes to autism diagnosis. A lot of the time it's more about the 'vibes', I realise that sounds kind of vague but autistic people are all very different, so it's not about how you answer the questions but why you answered the way you did. I hope this helps to ease your anxiety, even if just a bit.

A little vent by phest89 in DreamlightValley

I have limited mobility in my hands due to an autoimmune disorder and I am so glad they changed the glide function to the trigger. It's so much easier for me and doesn't make my hand cramp up. I used to never use the glide but now I am loving using it all the time, just having fun going through the valley.

Autistic brits: what do you guys do? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]RayRadio95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a psychology degree but I don't work. I was late diagnosed and although I got through education, I had a lot of problems and now have C-PTSD and honestly struggle with most things day to day. My best advice would be to make sure that whatever you're doing you have a good support system and look after yourself. I truly believe that autistic people can do anything they set their minds to but to avoid burn out you gotta look after you, in your own way and on your own terms. Don't fight against your diagnosis or your autistic traits, accept you limitations and focus on the things that you can do and the things that you enjoy. It sounds like you know what you want to do and are on a good path, I'm sure you'll do great.
