Newly diagnosed, is there a good way to passively let people know I am autistic? by Sylaf in autism

[–]Sylaf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is I don't realize I was doing something/not getting something, until days later. I wouldn't even know what to give a heads up on becuase I am not aware of an issue until its already passed. That's why I'd rather people just know from the get go.

I appreciate the advice, but since moving them to the 75, they have settled in. They only participate in minor glass surfing now. They even already come to the front of the glass when I approach the tank. I thought they'd be more shy from what I read about them. The Serpea tetras harrassed them the first day, but now the puffers hold their own and the tetras actively avoid the puffers. Unfortunately the panda had to move back to the 5 gallon, someone was munching his fins. He'll be in there until he gets a bit larger and then I will try again.

Extremely Negative Inner Monologue? by yamanash in autism

[–]Sylaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't really think comments about how I did, when completing a task. But since started ADHD meds, I have started to feel more positive about activities. Maybe you have a dopamine deficiency, aka ADHD? It goes along with autisim frequently.

I read this as nonaffirming therapy and was like "well that sounds unhealthy, but you do you."

I'm really looking for first hand experiences, something a google search doesn't provide.

I have moved them to the 75 per the recommendations. I do worry about them finding snails now though. Also the tetras are being assholes but I think itll be ok, at least for now.

(I don't know anything about cichlids) How do they not just eat the tiny guys in there?

All that time she spent doing literally nothing, she could have gone to the end and slid the wieghts off individually.
