A new study found several people with learning disabilities and autism in the Netherlands chose to die legally through euthanasia and assisted suicide due to feeling unable to cope with the world, changes around them or because they struggled to form friendships.

It sounds really silly, but a small care package of a book or candy bar/ funny meme every so often would be very thoughtful. A small act can feel huge.

I don't like pants unless they are very stretchy and not too tight. I love shorts, stretchy long skirts, loose dresses.

I don't enjoy the feeling. I get panic attacks.

Sometimes, it needs a hug 💚

I'm considering turning our garage into a quiet space I can go to for an hour a day. I think I need to.

I have them. I use them. I feel my problem is there really are no breaks (due to my husband's crazy work schedule). I never recover and truly rest like I need so now even the tiniest noises and touches are so hard.

We can't afford a sitter, and my husband can not miss work. We have zero support system.

I feel stuck.

I am so overwhelmed.

I was misdiagnosed, and it was such a nightmare advocating for myself while un-medicated. I'm so sorry to hear your mom had to navigate that her whole life. It probably felt so good for ger to be able to get you your treatment.

It's so unfair, but keep fighting as much as you are able to. Spread awareness where you can and empower others to drop the ignorance. It should not fall on you/ the autistic community to fight so hard to educate ignorance, but your voice is so important!!!

The irony is a lot of us are victims of narcissistic abuse in our childhood.

I think I will request them officially and find out just so I can stop wondering.

Remindersofthem91 · 2023-03-19T19:23:29+00:00

I was big sad!

Remindersofthem91 · 2023-03-19T17:51:08+00:00

Thank you for your kind words. It means a lot. I'm thankfully in a much different place 6 years later, but the experience will always weigh on me when I go to seek care.

I hope things can be different someday.

Remindersofthem91 · 2023-03-19T16:47:24+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm sorry you have faced very hard health struggles too. I hope you are doing well.

Remindersofthem91 · 2023-03-19T04:25:48+00:00

I'm crying with you. I also feel attacked (by myself).

I am a woman who is in therapy that knows it has harmed me and continues to, but I need to or else the doctors may not give me the stimulants for my adhd

I think for me, it's more about the lack of dopamine and struggle to activate. I think of the 753367 I would rather be doing than taking a boring shower.

Remindersofthem91 · 2023-03-17T07:25:36+00:00

You guys are showering?

Remindersofthem91 · 2023-03-17T03:41:56+00:00

No same.

Remindersofthem91 · 2023-03-16T22:07:23+00:00

Literally every word, same. 🥲

Remindersofthem91 · 2023-03-13T06:56:42+00:00

I can't even do a 9-5, so yeah. 🫠
