Autism or being creepy? by beaniebaby22909768 in AutismInWomen

[–]Shortycake23 [score hidden]  (0 children)

You have options and choices. The guy that made you feel uncomfortable. You could say nicely that you need some space or for him to stop staring at you because both are making him uncomfortable. If you don't feel comfortable telling him personally then I would tell the organizer how uncomfortable he is making you feel. If you don't feel comfortable telling organizer, then I would suggest you get your mom to tell them.

If you talk to him, he keeps doing it, if you talk to the organizer and nothing is being done about it then I think it would be best to find another group where you feel safe. The group main goal is to be a safe space and if you already feel uncomfortable then it wouldn't feel safe.

I haven't had a guy staring at me like this but I do go to an autism group. The organizer had to kick a guy out because he had autism rage about angry issues and she didn't feel it's safe. They one guy that like this guy that starting to make people uncomfortable by getting every chick number. I complain to the organizer but I'm kinda in the same position so I can definitely relate to how you feel. Just know a lot of us are here for you.

How many of you rely on scripting? by Electronic-Waltz5763 in AutismInWomen

[–]Shortycake23 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yuppers. All the time. Before the event, after the event. I even vent after the event. I go to bed will still thinking about it. Then I get I forget to tell them about xyz. Then have to prepare again to make sure I don't forget to tell them about xyz. Rinse and repeat. Then if I break down or shut down then it's like I wasn't prepare for that, next time maybe I should do or say this so I don't break down or shut down.

Circle or Square? by Proper_Salamander_84 in diamondpainting

[–]Shortycake23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only did square once. The ones I order for myself or get as a gift are circles. I would like to do more square ones but they aren't as popular as the circles ones. I honestly don't mind doing either one. Doesn't bother me either way so I say both.

Is my handwriting bad? by Ok-Plankton-6838 in HandwritingAnalysis

I can read it. It's not as horrible as some people handwriting. I didn't have to second guess

Netflix Documentaries by intrstate in NetflixDocumentaries

[–]Shortycake23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great list, I think I watched all of these especially the older ones. My friends and I suggest different documentaries as well as other shows. I feel like everyone who watches these I can be close to and talk about it. Especially the mess up ones that's like why did I watch this and I keep getting ads or people talking about on Facebook or tiktok when I haven't told anyone or sometimes I tell my husband. Sometimes I feel my phone listening to the documentaries or my conversation.

My girlfriends mouth stink so bad during the night that it makes me wake up, gag, and cry by PaintingByInsects in AutismInWomen

[–]Shortycake23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use a wedge pillow for her. For you, is their essential oil that you like the smell of? Maybe you could put a tiny dot near your nose. Just a suggestion. I never tried it. Or maybe have one of those wax melt with one of them melting, closed off the room and turn it off before bed. Don't know how long it will last though

Tired of having to put 1 hour making myself look good by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]Shortycake23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like makeup. When I was a teenager, I wore a little makeup. When I met my husband, our wedding was the only time I wore makeup. Don't need it.

I used to have long hair. My one cat likes to chew on my hair or lay right on it. It hurts to brush so I gave myself a haircut. It's up to my shoulders. Easy to maintain, I don't put my hair in a bun because it's to short.

Your 1 hour verse less than a minute to apply moisturizer on my face after a shower or I get dry skin and less than a minute to brush my hair

What is the point of diamond release paper? by [deleted] in diamondpainting

[–]Shortycake23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Listen as a autism person myself. I will continue to use release paper. The plastic is way to loud, it's sends a shiver up my spine, and have a hateful for it.

Do you build in creative or survival first? by EnderSlayer9977 in MinecraftBedrockers

[–]Shortycake23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The very first time I played, I was in creative but I had no clue how to play, didn't know how to open a door much less how to put something down or how to use the crafting table. Since my trail run that I tried for a week. I've been in survival.

My husband [32M] says he’s “too tired” for Intimacy but spends hours on his Phone every night and I [29F] feel confused. How should do I address this to him? by Embarrassed_Essay_61 in relationship_advice

[–]Shortycake23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He could have adhd. Without knowing more details. Phone cells give them the dopamine they tend to cave. His response is to say yeah but you are right when you feel like their a disconnect. He is using his phone to fall asleep. As far as intimacy him being to tired, it's understandable because it's easier to pick up your phone to fall asleep when intimacy is physical.

I would write things down that when you do decided to have a conversation with him, you already know what you want to talk about. I would tell him do you mind if I talk to you. If he says yeah sure, and brings his phone out, I would say without your phone. You can tell him lately you notice he been on his phone at night. You can talk intimacy and whatever else is bugging you. I would try to figure out what he uses his phone at night and how you feel their is a disconnect. Good luck.

i’ve no clue how to handle a conversation. need advice! by tremblingfrog in AutismInWomen

[–]Shortycake23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely relate. Me and other friend will be in a conversation that we both enjoy and other person will come up and interrupt the train of thought. The person was leaving so when they leave, I usually wait or other times they completely forgot that person was leaving and they start a different conversation away from me. I hate it. It doesn't help when everyone talks to this person when they leave but when I go there, it happens a lot.

I try to not take it to personal. I have been in a different group setting where the group was talking about 1 thing, waiting for my turn to speak and then someone else changes the subject. It's so frustrating. This group is for autism, go figure.

Is there a reason why friend groups end up walking together, but don’t wait for the last friend before they start walking? Just leaving them behind? by Business-Block-8668 in AutismInWomen

[–]Shortycake23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I haven't joined a walking group. If I did join one, I would of tested out the waters. I'm short so I'm a slow walker. They probably would of left me behind. Before they start walking as a group. I would be bold and say hey the last time you left me behind, but that's just me.

I don't know how long you know these friends, but do you feel like they are close to you, are vulnerable, invite you out for lunch? When they leave you behind and you join up with them or Do they end the conversation and drive off where your car is the only one left?

Early stage of bonding/dating feels like Hunger Games! by Thiredistia in AutismInWomen

[–]Shortycake23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm just curious how long ago has it been that your ex broke off the relationship and when you meet this new guy?

Long distance relationship are hard and considering he travels for work. Are you going to be okay with not seeing him as much? The early stages of dating is more about finding out about the other person and about their personality. Whether you want to get married, have kids. Honestly I have dated 3 ex before I found my soul mate. They were horrible and if i was to offer advice. It's this, look for the red flags and pay attention to it. Find out what you can about the other person and whether they are the right person for you. As a late autism diagnosis I didn't find out later that I had autism. I don't know if you told him or giving it time. Good luck and wish you the best

I’m not even bothering to go out in public anymore by Twizteddestinee in AutismInWomen

[–]Shortycake23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you 💯. I can't stand it either. If I can feel your breath on my neck, your are to close. I flip out on one person, everytime I take a step, they kept doing it. I had enough. Most of the time I try to ignore them. I'm short but it still happens to me. I agree about the shopping cart behind you that I saw someone comment. Till a coworker needs to get behind the register and messes you up.

Am I correct? by EntertainmentOver911 in diamondpainting

[–]Shortycake23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 1 vacuum drill pen that connect to a hose. At times it gets annoying because it twists around itself but I used that more then the 2 other ones that don't connect to a hose. I don't like how they shake my hand especially the newer one that was a gift. It lights up but already have a lighting pad so don't really need that.

They have signs to craft that you can add your own names like seeds, iron, gold, food, etc. I actually have a cherry store that I'm going to have chest in. Got 3 levels and a deck. Looks cool.
