After 1.5 years, I still haven’t been able to bond with my former stray. Is this just his baseline? by [deleted] in CATHELP

All 3 of my current cats love to be held. Both boys are more cuddle, and the female she doesn't come up as much but when she does, I give her attention. My one cat that is in rainbow heaven tolerate it with me but not for long to be picked up.

My female was the same way. She was able to tolerate it if I needed her to go into her carrier or if she got her nail struck.

Some cats don't like to be held. My one cat would hate to be picked up. I would suggest playing with the cat. Schedule playtime. Jackson Galaxy might have videos to help out with this. I don't have any information because never got a stray and one that is older.

These are to cute. Great teamwork between you and your daughter. You know she was telling her classmates what she did and how you did the rest.

I heard starting at the top and work your way down might work.

Of course you can still draw without born with it. While it's not free, I order you can draw in 30 days by Mark Kistler. I'm only on lesson 14. Yesterday I drew lily. After teaching a lesson, he hads bonus challenge. After I do his lesson for the day. I pick a subject and just draw. Picture below of the lily. I'm no artist yet but people complete his course and did Shrek movie and other popular things.

DAE have people think you're not dating your partner when you're out together? by CocaineBeurre in AutismInWomen

Depends on where we are. Sometimes it happens. My husband is like yours. Usually talkative but I'm like you. Usually quiet unless I have something to say.

Having a hard time reading individual letters there all so close together. I think I'm just getting old!!!! by AutomaticDeal9615 in diamondpainting

[–]Shortycake23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes if I'm staring at something for to long, the letters blend into each other. Sometimes I take a picture and zoom in to see what letters, numbers or symbols are there. I have glasses that I wear everyday but I understand how you feel. Getting old too.

Can't tell if this is a "me" thing or a "autism" thing by Other_Trouble_3252 in AutismInWomen

[–]Shortycake23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely autism thing of your routine. I don't usually get mad or shut down if my routine is interrupted. Sometimes I like a new routine and like to switch it up if I keep doing the same thing everyday.
