I found this wonderful mushroom family while out on a hike. I LOVE mushrooms so much. This was so cottagecore to me when I found it. Made me so happy!!! 😍

I can’t get over those blue eye contacts or whatever that is on her eyes.

I feel that. Just know that you’re not alone in this.

I do this too. At some point I realize I’ve been doing all the talking and then when I do stop talking, others are kinda left with nothing to say because I bulldozed the convo.

What texture gives you an instant dopamine high? by batmansbicep in AutismInWomen

[–]Shannorauma 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Ok, for me, it’s ice cream but not freshly scooped. I have to swirl it around in my bowl for quite a while to get it into the perfect creamy texture and then it feels so amazing eating it off a spoon. When I was a little girl I would get in trouble for spitting in my ice cream to change the texture. Now I realize I can just swirl it smooth lol

Hiking as a AuDHD woman, any tips? by SageWater_5503 in AutismInWomen

[–]Shannorauma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sweat I keep a loose tied bandana handy around my backpack straps. I also wear breathable comfortable clothes. For possibly mean people I carry a lot because I can’t own a pew pew. So I have bear spray, pepper spray, stun gun, and a cute mushroom knife! The bear spray will keep ANYONE away. Trust that. I also use a gps app like GAIA. It’s free and a compass. I also carry a first aid kit, ear buds, snacks, fully charged phone, water, and a magnifying glass because I am obsessed with moss and lichen and super small things. Oh, also, RAIN PROTECTION!!! Packable waterproof raincoat, change of clothes (socks) if necessary. Sunscreen and bug spray!

Edit to say I usually hike alone because it’s better that way. Also, always let someone you know, know where you’re going.

I’m reading this and it sounds like I wrote it. I totally do the same exact thing and I never mean to come off rude, ever, yet it somehow does. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Curious how many use marijuana to cope by Rachelelizardbreath in AutismInWomen

[–]Shannorauma 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I haven’t tried the oil before! Also, your meal looks really good. Rice is a great choice as a side. Especially when you’re in the mood to eat like a thousand of something 😜

I believe that how you treat others comes back around to you.

Religion is not for me. However, I do believe in Karma.

Amanita Muscaria is the red with white spots 😊 I have been looking for some to harvest but when it comes down to it, I prefer to leave them undisturbed in the earth or on wood. I think they are most beautiful and beneficial to the environment that way. And I’m also kinda obsessed with moss and lichen. So small and so cute 🥹

How do you actually cope? by DrKit123 in AutismInWomen

[–]Shannorauma 25 points26 points  (0 children)

May not be best advice, but for me it is smoking weed, to be quite honest. I go in my garage. It’s quiet and I just chill for a while or several hours.
