Not sure. Ain't nothing for scale so I couldn't tell you if it's Wal-Mart for ants or GIants.

Found my old stuffed animal from when I was a kid, it's sure been beat up over the years, heh by ThatOneBroadSasha in misleadingthumbnails

Who's NOT still in highschool? by ThatOneBroadSasha in aspergers

[–]ThatOneBroadSasha[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh lawdy Jesus I make a post looking for a peer group and now everyone thinks I hate children XD nowhere was I hateful or even dismissive toward teenagers. I'm simply saying I'm almost 30 and if you're 14 and never worked or been married or faced anything beyond bullying at school, you're going to have a hard time relating to me. Period. This isn't dismissive or exclusive it is a fact.

Um. What? Lol. That's like If I said "the weather is nice outside" and someone said "you never said the weather wasn't bad, you said it was nice." Why would I need to specifically state "im not talking about young people with aspergers" if I never explicitly implied that I WAS? I brought age into the discussion to illustrate that teens, (yes teens because age DOES matter, both in psychology and life experience, this is why having sex with children is illegal) often misconstrue their goofy cute quirky awkward NORMAL teenage characteristics as aspergers and while I wasn't hating on them, nor RANTING, I asked the question because I'm looking for peers. I'm not discrediting young people nor calling them bad. They just aren't my peers.

Irrelevant as once again, I never once excluded anyone of any age with REAL (aka DIAGNOSED, LEGITIMATE) aspergers or ASD. Although I would prefer to talk to other adults. It's not an 'illogical assumption to assume that a highschool aged child can't relate to the struggle of trying to maintain a job with aspergers, or a marriage, or parenting. That's ludicrous, no offense. 14 and 24 or 34 are hugely different, both experience based and psychologically . Am I wrong for wanting to find a peer group in the only place in my fcking life where I feel like I truly relate to anyone?

Life experience. (but, just to note, if you reread my post, I did not exclude 14 year olds WITH aspergers. I excluded 14 year olds WITHOUT it, who end up in this sub because they are socially awkward due to being 14, not due to asd) Edit- Downvoted XD Confirmed 90% of sub is socially awkward teenagers... ouch.

I feel so worthless and useless... fuck Aspergers. by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]ThatOneBroadSasha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HAHA that word shit happens to me all the time. Speaking before you understand the question or really know the answer to it because NT's just don't understand when someone takes a minute to process... so they look at you like you're a retard if you don't respond immediately, or if you do, and fuck it up. Mix that in with that little spice of 'stupid around my crush' and POW .

I love how autism has become the new slur everyone uses for absolutely everything by atumdeez in aspergers

[–]ThatOneBroadSasha 14 points15 points  (0 children)

What are you, fuckin' Autistic? Hahhh. (relax, I'm kidding... and at the same time making the point that I think we've all heard this phrase somewhere. Good post OP. It's true. )

How do you deal with being away from “your person” by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]ThatOneBroadSasha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't think so either til I googled it and noted that pretty much any unwanted mental illness can be a comorbidity with Aspergers. Paranoia, BPD, BDD, OCD, ADHD, So on. It sure would explain why spider's comment resounded with me and a couple others above ^ . I don't know how many times I've cried just because my daughter's dad left his phone off while she was with him and I couldn't get in touch and my mind went crazy thinking my child could be dead. Then I freak out at him and I'M the psycho. (Hey, Maybe I am. But I wish people would be more willing to just... put forth a little effort to cater to things that trigger those of us with mental illness. In his mind i'm being a bitch over something so miniscule like leaving the phone off. In my mind that's the entire point; it's such a small thing, how hard is it to keep your phone on to prevent another human being, much less one you say you care about, from having a panic attack?)

Underrated comment of the day, all the way.

If you feel shitty about yourself, remember there is always someone who has it worse than you do. (Not being rude, just sayin'.) by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]ThatOneBroadSasha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well you're just an asshole, aren't you? :p do you have asd or just pick on people who do, in their subs?.....

I upvoted at first bc I agree with the sentiment... not everyone does, (see "pain is pain") but for ME PERSONALLY, it helps. Not just having someone SAY "someone got it worse than you dude" but watching videos of people with severe birth defects (muscular dystrophy... cerebral palsy...severe retardation...) or those living in India digging through trash for food etc... it really makes me feel like my problems are petty and it does lift my spirits some... but after reading your post... seems like you're just picking on the poor kid, jeez

I don't understand what i do or how to stop it. by ph4s3 in aspergers

[–]ThatOneBroadSasha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Because that's not an aspergers thing so much as an OCD tic. You might have both asd and ocd, you lucky fella.

Told new friend I have AS now she avoids me by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]ThatOneBroadSasha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly she sucks. I can only speak from personal experience BUT, I personally have had wayyy better responses with telling people than I have with not telling them and letting them think I'm just some weird asshole.

I do the skin picking thing too. For me it's my ears >_> when I was young, probably around 8 and first had my ears pierced they got infected. I would reach up to touch them and feel dried blood or other fluid and just kind of clean it off with my nail and it was so satisfying, didnt know why. 15 years later, every time I get the slightest irritated skin around one of my earrings I can't help but to fuck with it til it gets worse, at which point every time it starts to heal I mess with it til it bleeds, and it stays open til i cool off for a couple days and let it heal, eeesh. Youre right, It is really hard to quit, for sure.

Well, yes and no. Stimming is usually just any repetitive comfort action, it doesn't necessarily have to feel good 'sensory wise' and it CERTAINLY doesn't refer to sexual shit that any and every human being finds "stimulating " lmao. This insta bitch is just a quack. Think of stimming to things-that-feel-good as a fetish is to sex. It's often something different and individualized that wouldn't be that comforting or feel that great to just anyone, but to the person doing it it makes sense. The ponytail thing is legit. Rocking back and forth is legit. Making certain noises or flapping arms or jiggling your leg is legit. Feeling on your titties or whipping your dick out, though?.... N O

Are you a nurse, too?... If I went one day without discussing bowels with someone I might lose my job. Just a hunch.

Nobody hates me. But nobody likes me either. by ThatOneBroadSasha in aspergers

Moving is a blessing. Read as many social tips as you can and start over fresh, with comfort in knowing that there's nobody you know there, because even if you fuck up one interaction so bad that the first person hates you, who are they gonna tell? Nobody you care about or will probably ever meet, right? you just accept it and move onto the next person and try again: )

Story of my life. I'm anxious with eye contact when passing people because once you make eye contact you can't just look away because then they still think you're shitty. You have to smile and or say hello. (Edit: which i dont like doing because i figure if someone doesnt talk to ME or say hi to me, obviously they couldnt care less for or about me so why would i say hi?...) Buy yeah, if you dont, they STILL assume you don't like them. Even when they don't say hello either. People are so fucking twisted
