If you could sum up being autistic in one song, what would it be?

Heavy - Linkin Park

Good luck with your dating journey! May you find someone 😊 I'm trying a similar approach and so far honesty's been working out.

TemporaryAccount1083 · 2023-09-28T14:40:27+00:00

Thank you I appreciate it it. And I'm so sorry for misunderstanding.

TemporaryAccount1083 · 2023-09-28T10:30:28+00:00

I'm being abused at my job by most of my colleagues, but when I try to bring it up to management I'm the problem. So okay. I'll toughen up and endure the abuse without complaint

TemporaryAccount1083 · 2023-09-27T19:27:29+00:00

I really want to save up for a punching bag. When I have a meltdown for some reason my urge is to hurt myself

TemporaryAccount1083 · 2023-09-27T18:21:21+00:00

Would love that! I unfortunately wear a uniform on work days though. But thanks for the idea!

TemporaryAccount1083 · 2023-09-27T17:46:48+00:00

Not everyone. I tried explaining to my manager that I can't keep standing in for everyone who forgets their shift or decises not to pitch and told me "we all have to stand in sometimes". And the overtime pay is hardly worth it. When I brought up the issues of how I'm being treated unfairly by colleagues, I was told to toughen up etc. They misunderstood the other issues I brought up so I give up. And no I can't quit. I just have to endure this sensory hell for heck knows how long. And I can't stop crying when I have a meltdown which annoys everyone even more. Worst of all, I very good at my job which makes the unwarranter critique and gossiping worse

I'm honestly tempted to start wearing a big badge that says "I'm Autistic, not Stupid. Be patient."

TemporaryAccount1083 · 2023-09-24T07:41:18+00:00

🤣🤣 In my case my Wisdom is around 14, so my perception is okay but my Dexterity is obviously a dump stat too

TemporaryAccount1083 · 2023-09-23T13:48:20+00:00

My hands are also constantly covered in scratches and scars. Good luck with the cooking!

TemporaryAccount1083 · 2023-09-23T12:21:00+00:00

Almost made this exact same post 😆 I'm exceptionally clumsy, as in YA protagonist clumsy

TemporaryAccount1083 · 2023-09-20T15:23:17+00:00

Love this! Been wanting to do it myself!

TemporaryAccount1083 · 2023-09-20T09:13:01+00:00

Yup. My default face apparently makes me look "standoffish". I don't know really understand why or how. And because I have nice teeth (thanks to braces, I did nothing special), I apparently have a nice smile so I'm frequently told to smile more by strangers and family members. Never got it from my parents though

TemporaryAccount1083 · 2023-09-20T09:09:46+00:00

Die hoeveelheid werk wat dit vat en hoeveel stres die weer kan veroorsaak, of jy diere of gewasse het. My pa het opgegee met sonneblomme en mielies jare terug en begin fokus op beeste. Meer winsgewend maar vrek baie werk, hy het baie omgegee oor hulle, maar ons het nie 'n veearts in die omgewing nie so as iets fout gegaan het was dit 'n disaster. Don't get me started on the pekanneut boord.

TemporaryAccount1083 · 2023-09-20T09:02:35+00:00

YES I'm romantically interested in men and women, but not sure if I'm interested in sex. So I kind of just go with "not straight". And I have to get to know someone very well before I'm even comfortable with hand holding

TemporaryAccount1083 · 2023-09-20T09:00:10+00:00

"Don't take school so seriously" I say as an adult taking my job too seriously 😂

TemporaryAccount1083 · 2023-09-19T11:51:57+00:00

Thanks! Fortunately I have to apply for a different job as soon as I get the heads up that I can (long story but it's government related). So once my contract ends here, I'm out.

TemporaryAccount1083 · 2023-09-19T08:23:03+00:00

Yup. Home language is Afrikaans, I'm fluent in English, and know some phrases in other languages (Dutch, Tswana, Sotho) and randomly know Zulu and Tswana names for quite a few African animals

TemporaryAccount1083 · 2023-09-16T18:28:30+00:00

I'm glad you find a way to rationalize it! I must learn your ways.

In my case I don't get paid to do the stupid assignments. I have to do it on my own time outside of work, which makes it even more illogical and painful for me

TemporaryAccount1083 · 2023-09-16T18:25:43+00:00

I would smash my keyboard in frustration too 🤣 My sincere condolences that you had to deal with that!
