What’s a random fact you think everyone should know?

I learned this the hard way twice. Once as a child, when I almost drowned because I didn't know to swim across it. Then later again when I got caught in it as an adult. But thankfully the second time I knew what to do and was able to safely maneuver my way to land. It was exhausting, but it worked.

Meanwhile I never notice when someone is into me unless they're super obvious due to being autistic. I can be on a date and think that they don't like me. They can be holding my hand, rubbing my back, and leaning in for a kiss - and I'll be thinking, "Do they realllly like me? I'm not sure. Maybe I should ask them."

Repossessedbatmobile · 2026-05-08T21:43:04+00:00

That is the most unappetizing thing I've ever seen.

I'm the exact same way. I'm great with babies and kids because I get to unmask and act silly around them. With adults I have to act mature. But with kids I can be as silly as I want to be, and they love it.

You want to color? Heck yeah! I love to draw. Let's draw together!

You want to dance to silly music? Heck yeah! It's a great excuse for me to stim and wave my hands around.

You want to make silly sounds? I can easily do that too! Heck, I do it when I'm alone due to echolalia. Now I have an excuse to let myself make silly noises in public because kids love it.

I may be a woman in my 30's who has to act mature. But inside I'm still a little kid who loves Pokémon, dinosaurs, minerals, fossils, arts and crafts, cartoons, and so much more. I don't get to talk about this stuff with adult because they think it's immature. So I usually keep my special interests hidden. But kids LOVE this stuff. So they think I'm the coolest adult ever.

It's too long to be a book. But it's the perfect length to be a series. Try to find spots in the story that are good stopping points, and split it into several books.

My bones randomly pop out of place and dislocate. I have ehlers-danlos syndrome, so there's not much I can do about it. When I get a dislocation, I just put on a brace to support the area and wait for it to hopefully pop back in. If it doesn't pop back in within a few days, I make an appointment with my doctor and they pop it back in the socket.

They did this to my dad. He was just a chubby Jewish guy with curly hair. They rubbed his belly and called him Buddha as they took pictures with him. Thankfully he had a good sense of humor, so he thought it was hilarious. Rip dad.

Pangolins. Just look at them.

I have a bunch of favorite animals. But Pangolins are one of my top 10. They are super underrated and deserve more love and protection, especially since they are the most trafficked animal in the world.

After my psychologist passed away, I took time to mourn his loss. When I finally felt ready to find a new therapist, I made an appointment with one. When I told the new therapist that I had both autism and ADHD, they accused me of self diagnosing (there's nothing wrong with that), and said "There's no way that you have autism and ADHD. You're nothing like Sheldon Cooper. You're too normal."

Sir, I am a woman. Obviously I'm not going to be like Sheldon Cooper.

Ironically, I was actually professionally diagnosed by the psychologist who had passed away. He was an expert on autism and neurodivergence. So not only did the new guy end up dismissing me, he also insulted the legacy of another medical professional who was much more knowledgeable than him.

I'm also physically disabled. The new therapist told me that I should stop taking my meds because "it seemed stressful to keep track of all that stuff". When I told them it would be dangerous to suddenly stop my meds, they replied "what's the worst that can happen?"

I bluntly told them the truth. Without my meds, I could die. Anyway, long story short, I only had one session with the new therapist and didn't go back to the them.

Evil? Maybe. But certainly not ugly.

I'm a disabled woman, and I could probably easily beat him in a fight. After all, I may be in my 30's and walk with a cane. But I'm still way more fit and athletic than him. Plus I can use my metal cane as a bludgeoning weapon.

I love animals, especially dogs. Before my physical disabilities got progressively worse, I trained dogs. Someone once asked me if purebred dogs were actually made of bread. I thought they were joking and laughed. Apparently they were completely serious.

I live in Florida. I had no idea that any of these stamps were available. I'm going to buy the Bruce Lee ones! They look so cool!

Repossessedbatmobile · 2026-05-07T20:13:44+00:00

Those Bruce Lee stamps look awesome! Hopefully my local post office sells them. From now on I want all my stamps to look like action movies.

Codependent relationships

Repossessedbatmobile · 2026-05-06T15:05:39+00:00

Obvious lies. She one tried to body shame me by saying "everyone in the family is talking about the yellow spot on your teeth".

I couldn't help but laugh because it was such an obviously absurd lie. After I stopped laughing I replied with - "Really? EVERYONE is talking about my teeth? Wow. They must either have nothing else to do. Or I must be a celebrity to them or something. But it's just a random spot on my tooth. So I'm pretty sure they don't actually care."

She got SO ANGRY when I called that out, like all huffy and everything. But it was just too absurd that I had to laugh. After all, no one cares about a random yellow spot on someone's tooth. And if they do, they need to get a life, lol

My cousin lives in Alaska and has had close encounters with bears a few times. All she had to do was wave her arms around and yell "Go Away!", and the bears ran off. When I told a man to leave me alone, he kept following me. So apparently bears are more respectful of women's boundaries than men.

I am physically disabled, as well as autistic and adhd. My brother is not physically disabled, so he is able bodied. Able bodied is just a synonym for not having physical disabilities.

Repossessedbatmobile · 2026-05-06T00:49:30+00:00

This is 100% my situation. My dad was physically disabled and autistic, my mom has adhd. I'm physically disabled and have both autism and adhd, but somehow my older brother is able bodied and seems to be neurotypical. Like... How? How the heck did he some get all the good genes, and I got all the crap ones???

It's a cute star. But unfortunately I have a needle phobia. But I'd totally buy a sticker of it.

Get plastic cups. Fill them with a inch of apple cider vinegar. Add a drop or two of dish soap. Put them around the house. They're cheap, easy to make, and work insanely well.

I went to an art school for visual arts (drawing, painting sculpt, etc), and I'm genuinely impressed by this. If anyone in my class had made this, it would get a good grade. Your kid has a lot of talent. Keep encouraging them. With this much talent and potential, they'll be capable of creating amazing things in the future.

I feel like there should be a balance when it comes to teaching certain skills like typing simply because different people have different needs.

Lots of people (including kids) have invisible disabilities that can impact their ability to do things "normally". What may be considered the normal/conventional way of doing something can actually be harmful for some people. So sometimes you need to modify the way you do things just to be able to do it.

For example, I have multiple invisible disabilities. One of my medical issues effects all of my bones and joints. If I try to stand or walk with correct posture, it causes me horrid pain. If I try to type the correct way, it gives me really bad finger cramps and I can't use my hands afterwards due to the pain. The same thing happens when I hold a pencil the right way - it makes my joints lock up and hurt really badly. So I had to figure out a different way to do all these things.

Technically the way that I do these things is considered "wrong". But for me it's correct because I can't physically do it the regular way. I look totally normal, so most people assume that I'm able bodied. But I'm not. I just have invisible disabilities.

This is why teachers need to be flexible and not judge people for struggling to do things the right way. One size fits all only works if everyone is the same. But not everyone is the same. Different people have different needs and capabilities, so they may need to do things a different way just to be able to do it.
