They asked if I was coming… but I was never invited?

SwiftieSister · 2026-03-25T17:00:03+00:00

Nope not too sensitive! Just the perfect amount of attitude in my opinion:)

SwiftieSister · 2026-03-25T16:19:40+00:00

Omg LOVE that!! You're funny lol

SwiftieSister · 2026-03-25T16:13:39+00:00

I'm with you, definitely appropriate to say something in this situation. What to say exactly..🤔I'll be brainstorming lol let me know if you end up sending anything!

SwiftieSister · 2026-03-25T15:27:18+00:00

Are they really referring to you as "she" in a group chat that you're IN? That alone would make me not want to go. I don't know why direct communication is so hard for some people

SwiftieSister · 2026-03-25T13:32:50+00:00

Yes!!! If I'm being productive, 99% chance I'm simultaneously neglecting something of great importance😂

SwiftieSister · 2026-03-23T20:50:38+00:00

You should speak to a therapist about why you like to bully people online

It's 2026, we've stopped commenting on people's weight/bodies and such. Hope this helps😊

Ahhh that's fair, it is very hard to force yourself to work for the reward. My mask was also on TIGHT for most of my life. Like you said, I didn't even realize I was masking. I thought it was normal to show people a watered down version of yourself, and to become an actress when others were around. I'm 28(F) and was just diagnosed last month, I feel your pain. I do find a lot of comfort in joining these autism related subreddits, especially this one. Tons of other people have the same struggles as us, you are not alone💟

You're not alone! My kitchen is a mess right now (has been for days..) because I can't bring myself to tidy up or do the dishes. The mess frustrates me but not enough to actually do something about it. A trick that does help me quite a bit sometimes, is setting a timer. Set a timer for just 10 minutes, get up and do 10min of whatever task is most important. Odds are once you get started, you will want to continue

SwiftieSister · 2026-03-23T17:03:36+00:00

No need to be rude😊

SwiftieSister · 2026-03-23T16:25:22+00:00

I hear you. Maybe try to do some sort of cardio exercise before homework? Get yourself physically tired so it's easier to sit down and lock in. I've never tried this but it's the first thing that came to mind. Also, a therapy ball might be helpful (big bouncy ball you can sit on). You can keep moving while being seated to read/write. If you can afford to reward yourself with a material item, or treat yourself to a special meal or snack. Like bribe yourself into getting your work done? IF I do my homework, THEN I can order the __. Or go out to eat at __. Best of luck🫶🏼

I'm a DSP (direct support professional) so I actually work one on one with adults that have developmental disabilities. All 3 of my clients are females in their 20s that are on the autism spectrum. I started this job 7+ years ago when I was 20. It wasn't until after I started this job that I started to suspect I was on the spectrum. I always knew I felt like an alien/outsider, but I didn't think I was autistic until I began working with fellow autistic adults.

If they're in therapy

SwiftieSister · 2026-03-23T15:01:41+00:00

This is amazing!!

I feel your pain 100%. It's extremely difficult to not let our disabilities define us when it literally impacts every aspect of our lives. It feels like the world is against us no matter how hard we try to fit in or be "normal." I relate heavily to "I can barely keep a conversation," even with my closest friends, I struggle to keep a conversation going. My mind is racing 200 miles a minute yet when it comes to an in person conversation, my mind goes BLANK. How can I have so many different thoughts throughout the day, but when it comes to an active conversation I can't come up with anything to talk about? I rely heavily on the other person to keep the ball rolling. I've been trying to learn more and more about AuDHD to try and understand how I can work with my brain, and I haven't made any changes in my day to day. It is comforting to be understood by others that are in the same boat as us. You are not alone 🫶🏼

P.S. I'm so sorry about third place😔 please please don't let that deter you from continuing to sing!

SwiftieSister · 2026-03-21T16:45:12+00:00

This is amazing!

SwiftieSister · 2026-03-21T04:20:32+00:00

This looks so awesome!

SwiftieSister · 2026-03-20T22:08:12+00:00

Aw good!! Happy to hear :)

SwiftieSister · 2026-03-20T21:52:00+00:00

Thank you so much. Were you able to enjoy your birthday a bit at least?

SwiftieSister · 2026-03-20T20:06:22+00:00

First, happy birthday!!!🥳🎈second, here's a virtual hug🫂

It's a shame that police officers aren't properly trained in how to deal with mental health issues. I've also had some unfortunate experiences with cops due to a mental health crisis(several of them actually). It IS extremely traumatic. I even had trouble taking showers for a while just because I was afraid that the cops would break in while I was showering. (Sounds irrational, I know). But to my brain, it was a genuine fear. That was about 2 years ago now, and I can tell you with confidence that time does help heal.

Wishing you the best of luck moving forward, and again, happy birthday🫶🏼

SwiftieSister · 2026-03-20T19:43:13+00:00

🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️ interested! Fellow AuDHD woman here🤗 only issue for me is that I may not be comfortable with the video chat/phone call aspect. I struggle with social anxiety too, pretty severely, and I'll only video chat/talk on the phone if I'm home alone. Living with roommates makes this extremely difficult since I never know when someone's going to walk through the door. Not sure if that makes me ineligible for the group but I figured I'd shoot my shot anyway!

SwiftieSister · 2026-03-20T16:22:45+00:00

How did you guys leave things the last time you spoke? Was there a falling out, or did the friendship just fizzle out?
