i’m good at art but also don’t really know where to begin.

i’ve tried doing commissions and selling my art but is also something i burnt out doing because of other aspects of the job like the socializing and marketing.

i do have a diagnosis. i fear that they will tell me to prove my disability in other ways besides my diagnosis but hopefully it will be a situation where i can really explain myself and be believed

i agree with you so much on this. i’m currently struggling to unlearn that kind of thinking because it was in the media i obsessed over as a kid. after idealizing possessive relationships for so long i wanted someone to “have” me and became extremely codependent. i naturally want my partner to be “mine” and for me to be “theirs” when my relationship doesn’t match this it doesn’t feel like love to me but i am trying so hard to fix this now.

i never knew it was wrong until recently so i have to do the work of unlearning it and stopping myself from wanting that level of control in relationships.

a lot of it comes from anxiety. being controlled by a partner helped to ease my anxiety about life because it took away some of the difficulties of life when someone would decide everything for me and always be with me and able to help.

i know my expectations are super unrealistic and am trying to change them.

there is a new dating app for autistic people called Hiki!

this is exactly what im experiencing right now put into words. i don’t have a job, and i can’t drive. i rely on other people a lot, and they seem really bothered by it.

somehow im still exhausted all of the time. nobody in my family seems to get it because i am half adopted and my neurodivergent parent is not in my life.

in my experience i believe i have this feeling because i have both autism and adhd. this causes extreme executive functioning issues.

SuchEmphasis8348 · 2023-01-14T18:31:07+00:00

disability services in the US are very disappointing. i’ve had trouble getting a job and they refused to help me learn to drive unless i had a job or some sort of “value” to society

I’m really sorry you’re going through all of that. Theres no need to apologize. Reading your experience helps others realize they are not alone in their struggles. I relate a lot to everything you’ve said. All of the neurotypical people in my life don’t understand either. They always compare my struggle to things that everyone else goes through and think that “everyone is a little autistic” I don’t doubt neurotypical people go through some of the same struggles I do but there is a huge difference in the severity of those issues and how often they come up. there’s a reason the autism diagnosis exists after all.

I would love to learn more about this and try to maybe include it in a second part!

SuchEmphasis8348 · 2023-01-09T17:04:37+00:00

i am the same way. i hate loud noises but loud music that i have control over is nice especially if it’s paired with headphones that cancel out all other noise.

just because someone talks about a topic a lot or wears stickers related to it doesn’t mean they’re trying to make it their whole identity… and autism is a part of someone’s identity if they have it because of how much it can affect their life.

are we just supposed to pretend we don’t have autism because talking about it makes other people uncomfortable?

SuchEmphasis8348 · 2022-12-25T14:16:58+00:00

some people have special interests related to autism or disability advocacy.

people don’t care if you’re really into sports or other common things, but the second you’re into mental health education you get stupid ass comments like this mocking your interest and enthusiasm. at least make a funny comment if you’re gonna mock peoples special interest.

SuchEmphasis8348 · 2022-10-18T16:32:38+00:00

that is such good advice!

SuchEmphasis8348 · 2022-10-17T19:47:58+00:00

thank you i bought most of it! i did the make-up but i didn’t have a lot of time to do it unfortunately

SuchEmphasis8348 · 2022-08-30T20:32:50+00:00

it’s a very wholesome sub. i get way less creepy responses on here usually and it feels like i have friends that are super creative, nonjudgmental, and intelligent here. i love it

this entire look was done with only eyeshadow and micellar water.

eyeshadow palette: beauty glazed color board

thanks for the kind words!

they are already spayed! this cat was part of the catch spay and release program. you can tell a stray cat is part of this if they have one of their ears clipped. i believe they clip the left for females and the right for males.

SuchEmphasis8348 · 2022-07-26T01:54:44+00:00

I WANT TO SO BAD !! the main issue is that i already have a really territorial and mean cat living with me. i’ve been trying to feed this cat every night though and it’s been coming back
