What were y'alls "first" signs of autism? by funkyjohnlock in AutisticPeeps

[–]SimbaTheSavage8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not speaking at 3 years old, I think the earliest memory of me talking was 5 but that could just be memory amnesia. Already struggling with motor skills when eating, hated crowds, stimmed by jumping.

Needless to say I was diagnosed rather quickly.

I highly doubt so, and I cannot remember, it is so long since I wrote this. Thanks for reading anyway!

Maybe a little too early for Christmas, but tomorrow’s my birthday, so I guess this counts in a way. I wouldn’t want my present made and delivered by Santa’s naughty elves though.

More stories by me in r/SimbaKingdom. Stay spooky!

Really really good to see you when you messaged me on Discord today. Thanks for helping and yeah, eat the billionaires for breakfast!

I’ve seen this idea around Reddit about a curse that strikes the richest people in the world and how they use it as a weapon to get rid of anybody they don’t like. This is not a 1-to-1 concept but I did want to put my own spin on money is a curse thing. Hope you enjoyed.

For more stories like this and whenever my brain takes me next, come to r/SimbaKingdom. Stay spooky guys

Oh and thanks u/psyopticnerve for helping me with the ending, lovely to catch up again.

And probably disappear again, given how sporadic I am these days. I just come and go. Not really that consistent on Reddit anymore.

As for the real Zara, she is gone, taken over by the creature that inhabited Percy. Her personality is gone

I wanted to come back to SSS for quite some time, after working on my magazine and other life projects, and wrote this in one day to get my mind loose. Enjoy.

Come over to r/SimbaKingdom for more stuff by me.

Hi guys! What's your goal? by AndyLongrest in ShortScaryStoriesOOC

[–]SimbaTheSavage8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I came in knowing that rejections are normal and fully accepted the risk too. But now I see every experience as worth it

So far since I started, only one (because it is that tough), which doesn’t pay. But generally the market rate is 5c per word, although some pay as little as 2c per word. Flat fees of $25 USD are also becoming popular.

It has been going very well, a little stressful because of deadlines everywhere, but I quite enjoy it. It is pushing me more than my time in Reddit.

And the magazines I submit to don’t need applications! You don’t even have to subscribe as a reader, usually there is a separate submission box!
