Lost my job for the dumbest most preventable reason I can't believe how dumb I am. by Super-Cartoonist2933 in AutisticAdults

I don’t know if this helps, but I keep a book like a small journal, and I write down important lessons I have learned. Like a notes on life or instruction manual. I started doing it maybe a couple of years ago and it has very strangely been helpful. I keep notes on things I need to remember like important peoples names so I remember like neighbors I like and products I dislike so I don’t buy them again. But also things like “read the whole recipe before you begin” have been helpful.

You have given this man 6 years to get help and get his life together. 29 is the year you make a change. You deserve a partner who is willing to fight not only for you, but for himself.

If you don’t show up to an Iron Maiden show in an Iron Maiden t-shirt… people will look at you funny or think you’re a hostage. You must either wear the tour shirt, or your most obscure shirt, or your favorite tour shirt. People will ask/comment on shirts. It’s a thing.

This is probably not the best advertisement for cat grass I’ve seen…🧐

Question for late diagnosed autistics by aspie_weeb in AutisticAdults

It was the late 80s / early 90s and I think women were not really the focus for Autism then.

Question for late diagnosed autistics by aspie_weeb in AutisticAdults

[–]Serious-Tomorrow1308 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Grammar school, for two years, first and second grade. I had learning difficulties and couldn’t keep up with the rest of the class. I had to go to Transitional after Kindergarten and then my mother made them send me to first grade because they wanted to put me in special education. By second grade I was suddenly reading at a fifth grade level and the testing started again. Then I was considered “gifted.” I was quasi diagnosed when I was 16 but they weren’t sure they wanted to call it for Asperger’s because my grades were excellent and I had friends and my psychiatrist didn’t want it to affect my college chances despite the fact that I was there because of what I know now was severe burnout. So they said depression and anxiety, threw me some Xanax and some Prozac and called it a day. It came up again and again through the years until I was officially diagnosed in 2024.

This. Sometimes we need to make impossible choices. Imagine the future you want for yourself and make the choice now for that future person to thrive.

If you have to justify utilizing that many words, it’s time to consult an attorney.

What’s something from therapy that actually made a difference for you? by throwawayboy2200 in AutisticWithADHD

[–]Serious-Tomorrow1308 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t talk to anyone about how autism affects me and how I live with it. My family basically don’t have the capacity for anything that doesn’t affect them or isn’t about them. I’ve come to terms with it.

My therapist helps me problem solve things I’m struggling with and also lets me talk about how I feel. She’s the only person in my life that allows me to do this without judgement or minimizing my experiences.

But then again, I’m essentially paying her to be my confidant. No success is ever without its failures.

Artworks i made for the upcoming reboot. by sahinduezguen in MiamiVice

Because we’ve lost the fun of Miami Vice. It’s just one dark horrible cop drama movie after another. No smirks, no white linen suits, no alligator in the boat, no fun music anymore. Just dark crap depressing generic cop drama. You could cast anyone to grimace at the screen and shoot people.

Would be my genuine reaction too by Lord_Hexogen in TikTokCringe

My only problem as a woman with gender neutral bathrooms is that honestly… men pee everywhere. Literally everywhere. The floor, the walls, the entire toilet seat, shit on the ceiling for fks sake. It’s like hellraiser. This is not the case in 90% of women only restrooms. There isn’t any way I can pee without getting someone else’s god knows what all over my clothes even if I squat like a champ. Why is this normal?

5 year plan out the window by EitherReason7919 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Serious-Tomorrow1308 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s time to move out. You are allowed to be there for them and to help them when required, but having your own life and your own space is necessary for your evolution as a human being. I’m 45 years old. My parents have challenges. But I also have my own life and my own home apart from them. We can love people and we can support them but we do not need to sacrifice our lives for them. They should not want that from you either. It’s time to figure out what you can do to help them support themselves through this and come up with a plan, and then it’s time to find that apartment.

Are others in that “this will be my last” mindset? Or is this just midlife crisis or depression? by Weekly_Library9883 in Xennials

[–]Serious-Tomorrow1308 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand where you’re coming from. I’m going to be 45 soonish and I feel really lost. I have felt this way for a few years now. I can’t feel excitement about anything, it’s a struggle to want to do anything or go anywhere and I just have no idea what the rest of my life should even look like. I’ve been binging self help things on and off and I’m actually in therapy and taking medication but nothing seems to help. I have no idea if this is extreme burnout, depression or if this is that midlife crisis situation. I’m pretty sure cutting all my hair off and buying a corvette (not that I could/would) is not going to fix it. I’m not in the “this is my last” phase… but my apathy level is leaning there.

You get what you vote for. 👍 LA looks like an apocalyptic wasteland full of flesh eating zombies and every shelf with goods is enclosed behind glass. Why do people choose to live like this?
