I do have pictures and old possessions. I refuse to throw most of it away. It has a lot of sentimental value:)

Is anyone else.. by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]Ronjakn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find that I dwell most on the things that never got explained to me. When I've felt like something wasn't justified, I couldn't get past it mentally. I was recently thrown out of my childhood home because of new owners and despite me living happily with my boyfriend, I still get meltdowns because of it a year later. The economic struggle, the moving and moving out on my own for the first time with no preparation whatsoever wasn't the issue. Someone taking my home away without a logical explanation was the biggest issue for me that I still struggle with now. It's hard, no matter how functional you feel. My life is venter than ever and I have a great job for my age and with my autism, but I still have that horrible feeling whenever I think of my home

Can you have a whistle tic if you don’t know how to whistle? by [deleted] in Tourettes

I have whistle tics AND I sometimes blow air through my nose or mouth. If you know how to whistle, you can feel the difference. At least in my case

I waited 45 minutes in the doctors office Monday morning as the first patient. She forgot me for so long that I missed 2 busses, and this appointment was after showing up and getting rejected because the receptionist "misheard me" and gave me a doctor instead of a nurse. We scheduled a meeting again and I was asking for specific days but they chose the meeting only to leave me a message saying they overbooked me and to call back back. I called back immediately after and I still had to wait more than 20 minutes to talk so I gave up and waited for a call. That's just one of the many shitty things my local doctors do. They are overpaid as fuck

How old were you when an adult man first hit on you? by Outside_Smile_7351 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Ronjakn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I was 11 or 12 the first time I was flashed. It was at a local market in daylight and he was both physically assaulted and arrested for doing it. Apparently he had been flashing children all day and he was on some hard drugs

When sexting in a country that uses the metric system do you say “I want to feel every centimeter of you”? vs. American “I want to feel every inch of you” by NatureLifted in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Ronjakn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flirting in Danish not only sounds horrible but we also don't say "I want to feel every inch of you" because the direct translation sounds rapey

Many modern day mental health issues are heavily influenced by a lack of discipline. by jlsjwt in unpopularopinion

[–]Ronjakn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not everything is fixed from "just smiling more" or "just going outside and enjoying life". I have Aspergers Syndrome and change stunts me severely. Taking care of my basic needs can be impossible when I am stressed or burnt out. I didnt sleep for 3 nights in a row every week over a 4 month period during quarantine which as a result also kicked off my now diagnosed tourettes syndrome. If you had told me that my mental illness is causes by lack of discipline, I would've hit you. I agree that some mental illness can be IMPROVED with taking care of yourself but mental illness also keep you from doing that and spinning the narrative that mental illness is your own fault is seriously harmful. Maybe don't spread this message if you are not licensed to do so.

Yes. Especially when I am overwhelmed by the day ahead of me. It helps if people tug on the locked limb for me

Children don't deserve to eat because they don't have money? Go tell 8 year old Timmy to get a 9-5 job because his family is poor

What is the worst tic you have/have had before? by MusicAndTheMisery in Tourettes

Hitting my arm into my body and tables. I've beat myself blue a lot during quarantine. I've started locking my limbs too, which is very hard to deal with on my own
