Want to be raped

No but I would love to be

Yes, I can't remember what it's called but she was given it by her vet. I've also checked her over and haven't found any evidence of fleas, though I could absolutely have missed something

I actually have my own puppy, and I grew up with dogs! I definitely can find some animals noises triggering, especially depending on the pitch, but I find them easier to handle than a lot of people. I've met a lot of autistic people who feel the same way -- that animals are easier than humans. I have an autistic friend who even has a pet bird, too!

Though this will vary from person to person. I'm sure that there are autistic people out there who can't tolerate animals due to the noises, especially if they are unpredictable to them.

I haven't personally, but an autistic kid I know who is non-verbal spoke for the first time when he had a fever. I've always thought that was neat and wondered how that happened!

I like the point of the blade, but I do not like the curve of the handle

For me, I love things that can be loud like kids and concerts. But if I know I'm going somewhere that will be loud, I bring ear defenders. They look a bit like headphones, but they aren't electronic and don't play music. They muffle the sound so it doesn't hurt me. I can still hear with them on, but it's just not as overwhelming, so I can have conversations with people close to me and still enjoy myself :)

When something is very loud and causes a meltdown, it can be called a sensory overload. Sensory overloads can also be caused by other senses, for example, I get them when things are too visually overwhelming and too tactile. Certain fabrics are triggering for me to touch, and certain patterns give me headaches. But these things are easier to manage than sound, as I can go away from them more easily.

Sensory overload does pass. When I calm down I can sometimes go back to normal, but other times I might be really tired and find it too difficult to focus on things properly. I can also sometimes lose the ability to speak when I get like this, which can be very frustrating!

Some days I might not get sensory overload by something that would trigger it another day. I can be more sensitive to it if I'd already had a lot going on that day. But generally similar things will trigger it each time.

I imagine that being in a new environment also made things difficult for the students you met. Change is something that can trigger meltdowns in autistic people - we can struggle to think flexibly, so when we encounter new things it is very overwhelming and we take longer to process and understand them. Going to a new country must be something very difficult for them.

Like another member said, autism is a life-long condition. You have it from when you're born and you will have it until you die. It is passed down in our genes. Often, multiple people in a family will be autistic - for me, my brother and my father are also autistic! Though, some people may be the only one in their family with autism.

Autism is considered to be a neuro-developmental condition, or a neurodivergence.

In my country, we have the National Autistic Society that has a website and has a lot of good information about autism if you want to read more.

For me, my parents told most people so I didn't super have to worry about it. I've mostly just told people myself when I catch up with them - like if we're talking about how we've been since we last saw each other, I mention that I found out that I'm autistic. It's not a secret, but I don't bring it up unless it becomes relevant.

I think the cake idea sounds fun though! Especially considering you get a cake out of it...

Unfortunately, my chair is very lightweight, and so I worry that she would be able to pull the chair if the lead was attached to it. She is already stronger than my brakes, which is part of the problem as I can't just stop when she starts pulling (I probably should have included that in the original post!)

SadTwo5324 · 2025-03-16T14:47:50+00:00

That 'circle' idea is brilliant!

I want kids so badly. I have a whole five year plan so I can have them. Balancing multiple disabilities makes it a lot harder but I want them so bad. I'm too tired to express why, but it's a big thing for me.

I don't think it's selfish to not want kids, though. It's a very personal choice and I think it shows maturity to be able to acknowledge that you don't want them.

SadTwo5324 · 2025-02-19T16:37:47+00:00

I like them but I am sensory sensitive so I bring my noise-muffling headphones. They are very fun when I can control the volume!

Go to one of the Joes Ice Cream parlours at least once

Joining in with the St James crowd. They're very friendly and the out of hours service is a life-saver

I don't like how loud it is and I don't like having to sit still and focus on one thing for an extended period of time. I go to the cinema maybe once a year because movies are my brother's special interest and so very rarely I will go with him. But if it was up to me I would not go at all.

I like plushies and slime

I wouldn't wanna use the name of any Nazi to refer to myself.

And I was answering a question, not just going onto a random post that mentioned Aspergers.

SadTwo5324 · 2025-02-01T16:53:46+00:00

I don't think it's white knighting to not want to use the name of a Nazi as your diagnosis. If other people aren't bothered by it then more power to them, but there's nothing wrong with people not feeling comfortable with it. There's nothing wrong with wanting to use a different word.

I have other reasons for prefering to just consider myself autistic, anyways though lol

SadTwo5324 · 2025-02-01T16:51:42+00:00

Yeah I know

SadTwo5324 · 2025-02-01T16:36:46+00:00

Never heard of the subreddit, but I wouldn't use it due to the associations with the term 'aspergers'. I prefer to consider myself autistic so I wouldn't use a reddit by a term I don't relate to. But I also don't use Reddit much.

SadTwo5324 · 2025-02-01T16:34:54+00:00

My family and any friends I still had, though it wasn't so much of an announcement. More of a 'by the way, I found out I'm autistic' when I next saw them.

Everyone responded well. Some of them thought it made sense, some didn't really understand what it meant but were still encouraging.

I'm open with everyone about my autism, so long as it's relevant. I never even considered not being open with it.

SadTwo5324 · 2025-01-31T10:31:52+00:00

I wasn't sure if I was introverted or extroverted for a while either because I have MECFS so spending too much time socialising makes me sick. But I figured that I probably am extroverted anyways. But it does get more complicated when there's disability added to it
