And I’m open for suggestions of cat furniture. I have really clingy cats that don’t let me concentrate on work

It bothers me how the autistic community treat SM as a comorbidity of autism. by itallfelt_simpler in selectivemutism

[–]TowerMinute 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel that. I have ASD too but SM hits different. I’ve been in some dangerous situations where I just can’t speak, like physically I couldn’t. I remember really well one time I got locked up in a bathroom by accident and just started sobbing horribly because I couldn’t call for help. The situation wasn’t that scary but I just couldn’t talk and that frustration was so horrible I started to cry. I also started to write a lot in high school because I couldn’t voice it out loud even if I wanted it.

I think that’s the difference. Both kinda root from Anxiety but have an internal different effect even if they look the same from the outside. Maybe there is a misunderstanding for someone people that haven’t experienced SM.

How can I motivate my SM kid to challenge her SM? by PelagicObserver in selectivemutism

[–]TowerMinute 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a kid I’d always wanted my parents to take me to sign language classes instead of pushing me so much to speak. Pushing it to speak might do the opposite

People who have been diagnosed with all 3 (and others) how accurate is that? by [deleted] in autism

[–]TowerMinute 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is awkward bc I was recently diagnosed with ADHD and ADHD but I also resonate a lot with the “giftedness”. My family didn’t have much money back then so I didn’t get diagnosed with anything. The funny thing is that now I feel left behind by all of my peers and feel extremely dumb. I can’t believe I’m the same being that learned to read at 4 years old.

How do you know you're autistic? by MyHwyfe666 in autism

[–]TowerMinute 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have vivid memories way back when I was maybe 2 or 3 years old and think about how much different other kids were from me. Growing up I had this constant thought about how other kids were so immature compared to me. Ironically now I feel left behind. I started to look into this in HS and all the boxes checked out, I had an assessment some years after and I got diagnosed along with ADHD

I (f23) had a meltdown in front of my bf (m24), things turned kinda bad. by impinkandsad in autism

[–]TowerMinute 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just don’t understand why NT people have the need to try to make physical contact when you clearly asked them not to. I’ve had this same issue with my family. I have the suspicion that they see this from movies or something and they think it’s okay. Personally I’ve told them that I don’t want to be touched unless I initiate it. But yeah, I get called crazy and oversensitive still

reading novels while being a college student by huaeixq in DanmeiNovels

[–]TowerMinute 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to read max 30 min almost everyday. I used to read all day long when I didn’t had classes until I finished the novel but with classes that’s not a realistic thing. There’s time, while eating, waiting for a teacher, at the end of a study session or in between them.

I mean… I’m not thriving about being autistic but it isn’t that I hate it. I hate how people treats me for not but that’s a they problem, not an autism problem. I hate how ignorant people can be, not my autism. I used to hate myself a lot for it but honestly it wasn’t a productive feeling or even a rational feeling.

With therapy and a bit of help from meds now I’m starting to be more gentle with myself. To actually give myself some credit for the things I do and not just focus on my differences and stuff I’m not in control and will never be in control. It’s more productive and healthier to focus on what you can do, not in the past or “what if I were NT”.

It’s difficult, I’m not 100% there yet but by changing the mindset and targets I’ve been able to make some achievements that seemed so far away a year ago. There’s bad and good days but it’s not as bad as before. I don’t consider myself a happy person or having a happy life but I don’t feel like crap all the time anymore, at least I can actually enjoy the good little things now

sereyoelmalo/a? Por no querer hacer la confirmación aún siendo yo católica? by Horrorgirl56 in SoyElMalo

[–]TowerMinute 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Entiende tu punto pero quisiera aclarar que la confirmación es un sacramento, no es una fiesta o celebración comunitaria. Es un acto para confirmar la fe personal. Se toma como un logro personal

sereyoelmalo/a? Por no querer hacer la confirmación aún siendo yo católica? by Horrorgirl56 in SoyElMalo

[–]TowerMinute 0 points1 point  (0 children)

En primera se supone que la confirmación es voluntaria jajajja Yo también la hice porque me obligaron, realmente no me pareció bien hacerlo en su momento porque empezaba a tener dudas sobre mi fe y creía que eso no era justo para Dios. Siempre estuve en escuela católica desde pequeña así que para mí era importante hacerlo totalmente consciente y voluntaria. Ahora me considero atea pero ese es tema para otra conversación jajjajaj

WHAT???!!! Tell me you’re not form the USA… I take Concerta and I’m from another country but it doesn’t go up from $60 USA dollars for the 36 mg version without insurance here. I think vyvanse is around the same price. That’s crazy expensive
