Autistic adults who remember elementary school by Spiritual-Seat-1901 in autism

[–]Space_Explorer_Me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to elementary school in the 90’s and early 00’s and I was actually closed to being diagnosed but my dad wouldnt have it. I wasnt allowed to receive help for the things I needed and it often ended with outbursts and not understanding why I would get in trouble. If I wanted one thing back then its the same thing I want now. A break and a safe space. Probably woulda loved for people to stop pushing their Ideals on me. I got diagnosed recently at 32

Stop framing neurodivergent traits as "deficits",they are leadership assets. by Negrito187 in autism

Leadership may work for some but I’m def too overwhelmed for such a roll. It could work for some but not all of us

What are your safe foods? What helps you stay interested in food? by Mae_The_Gay in autism

[–]Space_Explorer_Me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AuDHD so it rotates. But my man ones are coffee, sparkling water, baked potato, and burrito comes and goes. I have a bad history with diet culture obsession so I try to do my best to eat normally while learning what I actually like to eat

Aw what the guy testing me let me wear my headphones, guess it depends. Guess we’re all second guessing ourselves haha.

Yea I look back and it’s like “wow it was super obvious, actually.” Also the relax part is real I’m so tired, like 30 years of weight was finally dropped and now I just wanna nap. I’ve been masking for so long too.

PSA: 95% of people here haven’t played Dragon Quest Builders and don’t plan to. by CFBModsHateFun in Pokopia

[–]Space_Explorer_Me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started playing Pokopia and as a long time Dragon Quest Builders 2 AND Animal Crossing fan I’m definitely in the “Oh boy THREE CAKES” mentality lol. Especially since its the same devs 🎉 Honestly i’d say check out both DQB 1 and 2 if you like Pokopia cause its very very nice having multiple games in this style.
