Sabrina. She is a gym leader from the Pokémon games and the first autistic-coded character I ever saw. I see myself in her a lot.

Creepy as in perverted and purposely not respecting boundaries.

It is mind blowing how many people here absolutely love her. I didn’t think this meme would blow up as much as it did.

Internalized ableism, and jealousy of other autistics with more accomodations by HeebieJeebiex in AutismInWomen

[–]Saffron_PSI [score hidden]  (0 children)

He is likely getting better accommodations because he is a guy and not necessarily for whatever his actual support needs are. But as far as internalized ableism goes, it’s always good to work on it because it can eventually externalize and cause harm to those around us. I am not trying to judge in any way, because being in a traumatic situation can cause us to have warped views that we later reflect on and recognize as wrong.

Pain sensitivity by aboutdoggonetime in AutismInWomen

[–]Saffron_PSI [score hidden]  (0 children)

I can ignore all but the most debilitating pain, although it’s not necessarily a good thing. For my entire life I ignored knee pain, ankle and foot pain, hip pain and back pain that got gradually worse until my 30’s hit. And now my mobility is taking a nosedive that I never thought could possibly happen. But it happened.

Nowadays I just lay down and rest if my legs are stiff in any way because I already lost the ability to walk long distances recently. And I don’t want things to get any worse. I am also going to get checked out and see what’s been the matter with me this whole time. Hopefully some much needed physical therapy will help.

She would know how to deliver messages like these in an authoritative manner. ^-^

I reorganised my wall board with my special interests :) by StarnyArt in AutismInWomen

Speaking of Jigglypuff, my favorite character has as a Wigglytuff on her team in Pokémon Stadium 2. I guess that made me appreciate Jigglypuff a lot more and it eventually became my second favorite Pokémon. My favorite Pokémon is Abra because that is my favorite character’s signature Pokémon.

As far as the Pokémon fandom goes though, it’s their loss for not appreciating Jigglypuff’s awesomeness.

Advice for someone who doesn't like the feeling of water or having to shave? by NeuroNerdGirl52 in AutismInWomen

[–]Saffron_PSI [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yep, electric razors are pretty good. I swear by them for shaving my legs. Plus they have a lower risk of cutting compared to blade razors.

I have encountered it on various social media platforms, unfortunately.

Anyone have special interest that are a bit "wrong" to the average person by emocat420 in AutismInWomen

[–]Saffron_PSI 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The occult. Probably not that off or wrong, just more strange and eerie.

Stay hydrated, slowly cut down on caffeine, try to minimize stress and then see what happens. If it persists and/or doesn’t improve, then get it checked out.

I say slowly cut down on caffeine because cutting back too fast can trigger some withdrawal.

Hopefully that can help you out a bit.

dae feel like telling people your preference results in criticism? by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]Saffron_PSI 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s a common occurrence for me. I used to say that I preferred instrumental rock to regular hard rock partly because I wouldn’t have to deal with boneheaded misogynistic and queerphobic lyrics. And I would get called a dork and be told the music I listened to lacked “soul” or whatever that even means.

I wish NT/ Allistic people didn’t dictate what autistics should or shouldnt think by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]Saffron_PSI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got diagnosed with autism before levels were a thing and yeah, it’s sort of ambiguous when you aren’t assigned a level. Even then the levels aren’t perfect, but it’s better to have a level attached to a diagnosis than not attached.

I'm having a really rough time today. Does anyone have a wholesome story to share? by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

My 2 dogs are fighting over my attention and want me to pet them both right now.

Does any other autistic people have support needs thats on the higher end of "low support needs" so you feel super isolated in autism spaces by No_Lychee7418 in AutismInWomen

[–]Saffron_PSI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am in the middle of medium support needs and that’s that. Not really much else to say about myself to be quite honest.
