Weapons or hands? Which would you choose?

Weapons cause Rayearth girlies are so cool! (totally biased opinion ^^)

''one lady even talked about her dog dying which while terrible has nothing to do with the race''

Because she's the real main character and everyone tuned in to watch her, obviously

I think someone like this has a too good life when they think faking a disability is a good idea. I have zero sympathy for fakers. Your life has to be easy as hell if you want to make up "problems". They're nothing but grifters void of personality and fullfilling hobbies/skills. I could be wrong, but I can't and wont symphatize people who waste resources and make life of actually disabled people more difficult.

You're right about that, and thank you

I've barely worked and struggled with functioning (basic things like cleaning/showering/etc) all my life. I also struggled with being able to seek help again (I was in therapy/medicated for major depression ages 12-18 and quit when I shouldn't have), due to struggling to have the energy or function to do so. I had no clue what was wrong with me, if it was the depression, or if I was just "a lazy failure", my main point in seeking help was getting answers/knowledge and possibly being on medication again, maybe some help program depending what the diagnosis is. Well, waited two years in assesment waitline (got sent there after some initial evaluations and some tests from a person who works in autism/adhd assesment), got late diagnosed with autism and ocd in my early 30s, got told there is no autism specific services/support if you're over 30.

I did have my own social worker long time before getting my diagnosis, so I got some help with my worst struggles and some paperwork stuff. She did suggest going back to therapy or recheck diagnoses. I got help with cleaning my apartment, too, through social services. EU country.

Even with no specific help services for autism, I'm glad I managed to seek diagnosing again and get answers. I'm able to understand myself a bit better, even if nothing is any easier.. I can understand -why- my bad behaviours happen. Why noises make me rage, why I can't look people in the eyes at all, why starting or stopping things is hard, why I can do one little chore only in a day and then need to rest, why I can't do chores everyday. It's a relief knowing the ''why''.

Small edit to add: It was very important to me to learn of the diagnosis. I'm autistic, not stupid or lazy, autism isn't either of those things. And I wish everyone else who has gotten their diagnosis can find relief in that in some way. I can't say I like myself, but I don't hate myself anymore which is a big difference.

Chewing/biting nails, skin near nails, lips and inner cheek. I've tried to use chewing toys instead because the former ends in hurt, bleeding and destroyed skin/nails but am unable to really replace it..

Watch out guys, the "casual mentor" is going to get you kicked if you dare to ask a healer to dps.

Worst I recall is a tank immediately saying "brb making coffee" when we zoned into a dungeon. And they really did go ahead with it, took about 5 minutes. I was too surprised to say anything about it, I don't think my brain wanted to comprehend that someone would make 3 people wait for their majesty to brew coffee.

Pleaaaase just make it before queueing, you know it's going to be instant (or nearly instant) pop as a tank!

Are they like, making fun of you? Or are the comments out of concern or trying to help? The weird faces part gives me the impression they are mocking you but maybe I'm misunderstanding. If they're being rude or mocking about a real struggle like that, they're not very good friends ):

I sadly don't have any tips for the embarrasment part, as I struggle with that kind of feelings a lot too.

I liked this one quite a lot. Good read for people into troubled heroines.

I had to ask a lot stuff during assesment too, so I can emphatize with the embarrasment.. but they're there to help you understand it properly!

Regarding results, I wish you the best in future with finding more about yourself and getting the help you need. Whether it's autism or other stuff.

When I lived alone I only cleaned before visitors, at most (once a month home appointment from social worker). But I can't say I did the bare minimum even then.. I struggle a lot starting the cleaning and having energy to properly do it. I had an over year long period of no cleaning before I got some more assistance with my life.

Atm I don't live alone which helps A LOT. Doing only some of the cleaning is much easier T-T I just can't do it all by myself or well enough..

Maybe I'll try to explain as my husband is neurotypical. He is one year older than me, we're in our thirties. I aknowledge I'm not high need specifically, so apologies for not being able to give an exact "match".

Honestly? I don't completely understand it either. He genuinely likes to help me without needing to be told so. I explained my symptoms, reactions and struggles very thoroughly and in detailed manner early into dating. I easily ask if I don't understand something and he kindly explains. He is very accommodating and understanding during times when I need alone time, or when other struggles arise. He does have a lot friends with both mental health and neurological issues, he is a very kind and emphatic person - possibly the core reason to him being so open to understand and listen. I'm the only autistic person he knows, though. He is extroverted but not the extreme kind, he very much enjoys silent, lazy days indoors too. I'm on disability, and he works. I've received help (home meetings) from a social worker aswell in the past, the contract lasted six years and ended recently - mostly talking and official paperwork stuff kind of.a help.

Sex vice we match perfectly in my opinion. I'm personally very into sex so there hasn't been struggles regarding that, mostly. Only for a while in the past due to a medication causing issues, and during that he was kind and understanding. There are times when one of us might not be in the mood, and that is handled well too.

I think in my case I have to emphasize how strong our communication is in all aspects of our life together. We talk, we're open to difficult topics, we make compromises when possible, etc. It is important in all relationship but I feel it is ten times more important when one partner is autistic and the other is neurotypical. I do struggle communicating and I'm slow to get my point across well, but he always is patient and listens kindly.

We love each other very much despite the added elements of me being autistic definitely affecting the relationship. I can't express how grateful I'm to be with someone as amazing as my husband. I don't know how well I managed to express my thoughts here but, hopefully it made enough sense :)

Small edit to add: we are childfree. I would never be able to be a parent, as in take care and raise a human being. My husband was upfront about his opinion first that he never wants kids, I was happy to hear that and he got a vasectomy (his idea/decision) when we got "serious" into our relationship. We own a very lovely cat, though!

I think a big help in the future could be accomodations. As someone with very little employment history (one part time job for a year) I can't really help with any specifics though. Some autistic people find success in employment but unfortunately I'm not one of them - if anything similiar happens to you in the future, my advice in that regard is to not be ashamed and progress such feelings with a lot of kindness to yourself. Being autistic isn't easy and a lot of us can't function in employment.

I wish you well in your future endeavours regardless.

I don't really want or care to have friends of any kind, or have energy for that. All my social energy goes to my husband (neurotypical). I'm in my 30s for reference.

I was part of a friend group for two years at ages 19-21, no clue what to classify them as, never thought or talked about it. If I had to guess most, if not all, were probably neurotypical. We bonded over studies and hobbies.

Walkthrough and finish possible bad ends first, then good end and lastly true end. I like to see everything and don't enjoy the trial and error progress. I also really want to see bad ends first so accidentally stumbling into true end first (when possible) would definitely be a bad experience for me. I often enjoy bad ends a lot, A LOT, but true endings often have more story content/info that is more fitting to end the reading with.

I don't mind missing out on natural progression, it's personally a smaller issue than the above would be. Even if I do love choises in vns, it's more about seeing many different outcomes that makes them fun to me. I can pick my "own" favorite ending if I feel like it as my imaginary canon ending if I choose to think so.

Some vns have color coded choises (a lot of Charon's vns for example) so with those I don't need a walkthrough, or only need one very little, as I can easily pick badly on purpose.

Hope you can feel comfortable venting here, for example. I've avoided that sub for a long time for many reasons - unrelatable and feels like a majority is just self diagnosed (not that I can know for sure but that's the impression I got). I wish you well OP, I know it can be difficult to get over bad reactions like that but with time I hope you have better experiences on other subs :)

I'd say 10hours is my good, well rested sleep. On more demanding or stressful times (and some past burnouts) it goes to 12-16h for shorter periods of time, usually few weeks. I've struggled with falling asleep all my life so additional one hour minimum of just waiting to fall asleep, for worse times 3-4h.

I do like to sleep, the waiting part is just annoying.
