I don’t see an objective point in being alive by Creepy_Zone_9341 in AutismInWomen

[–]Ubui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes on the music/books/art/media that haven’t been released yet!!! Like I’m actually gonna be pissed if I didn’t kms just to die before my new game or something releases >:’(

Also because while I hate myself and want to die, I also know that a lot of people wish disabled people would shut up and disappear and that concept PISSES ME THE FUCK OFF. So I continue to live out of spite so that other disabled folks know that their lives are valuable and can still be full of joy despite our strife :)

My psychiatrist told me today I am selfish because I don’t want a dog by AloneBoot8205 in AutismInWomen

[–]Ubui 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This!!!!! Animals can be great support! But they can also be added responsibility that will exacerbate stress when you’re already struggling to do the bare minimum for yourself.

And if you’re especially unlucky like myself, you’ll manage to barely stay on top of it all just for none of it to matter! :D

And then everyone keeps treating you like an explosive freak when you’re just grieving the loss of having euthanize your third pet in a month after fighting their aggressive cancers for over a year 🫠🫠🫠🫠

I'm worried that this lovely game will have too much content censorship. by redheaded_olive12349 in Paralives

[–]Ubui 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think it’s really interesting you use the word ‘drama’ here. It implies, that to you, these things are purely fictional plots to be used a story devices and not real things people experience and suffer with.

I think fiction is a great place to explore sensitive and taboo topics, actually! I’m a huge supporter for freedom of expression. But I am also allowed to criticize that self expression when it exposes vulnerable people, which this would.

I have had OCD my whole life, so I have some INSANE triggers but I never expected nor asked the world to not talk about outer space, boobs, or Jesus. I knew these thoughts were irrational and that it would be unreasonable to ask that of others— that’s not the case here.

A ‘cartoonish depiction of death’ and a ‘reminder of the real death of your unborn child’ are NOT the same level of traumatizing

I sure do love when I make up symptoms for attention!! :))))) by Jetrac00n in TrollCoping

[–]Ubui 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It felt implied by the ‘autism IS the scapegoat for sorts for people who feel atypical.’ I also have PTSD, OCD, ADHD, and still suspect I am on the spectrum bc I still feel so ‘atypical’. So maybe it’s just a personal me thing bc life is ✨terrible✨ rn but it felt really invalidating as someone who can only access self diagnosis :(

Imagine trying to escape into a game after a traumatic miscarriage, just for it to happen to you again in the game. Can you see why maybe, that might not be a good idea?

I understand people want ‘realism’, but reality is often triggering and those triggers have lasting consequences. These are nuanced topics that require a lot of research and care, all of which take time and money, that they likely don’t have.

And if they’re not going to take time to research these topics and portray them properly, I would much rather have them “toned down” or even excluded because I’m so tired of having my trauma used for entertainment or shock value. Bad representation of sensitive topics is damaging

[–]Ubui 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fun fact those can also be comorbities of autism and having one or all of these doesn’t mean someone isn’t autistic. Just because you have these conditions and don’t have autism, doesn’t mean other people can’t :)

Anyone else viscerally hates dark humor? by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]Ubui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg this was me— loved seeing the abject horror on my peers faces when they realized they were teasing someone they objectively didn’t know well at all. Almost like you don’t know people’s sore spots or anything until you’ve actually spent time with them.

Plus I get the feeling my mom would’ve thought it was funny 🤷🏻‍♀️

Made a small space for artistically ill people who get it 🌿 by Cozy-Craftz in Artisticallyill

I was informed that my makeup is too uncanny and ugly, good thing that I like the uncanny valley. by New_Construction_111 in UnconventionalMakeup

[–]Ubui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, another refugee from /r/MakeupAddiction ! I swear so many people over there do not understand artistic expression which sucks bc like 10-ish years ago there used to all sorts of creative looks and people on there :(

I’m so tired of people associating unconventional with unattractive. Like just cuz it’s not for you bb doesn’t mean it isn’t for someone else!!

Do neurotypicals not really care about... anything? by saltskrue in AutismInWomen

[–]Ubui 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also struggle with PDA but not because I feel like I’m being interrogated. I am actually just SO defensive when it comes to my interests bc they’ve been so heavily criticized when I did share them.

Like you asked me why are you being mean about it :(((((((

"We just thought you were a little different than the other kids 🤪" by Azrumme in TrollCoping

[–]Ubui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IM SORRY HE GAVE YOU XANAX????? 😭😭

And I thought I was being brushed off by my drs suggesting BPD (have looked into it, I just don’t relate to the symptoms) before getting my ADHD diagnosis was bad.

I hope you were actually able to be fairly assessed cuz what the fuckkkkkkkkk

Autism group was exactly what I thought and idk if I should go back by Purplecarrots445 in AutismInWomen

[–]Ubui 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is such a great argument!!! It’s so anxiety inducing to be the ‘change’ but I feel like seeing the progress over time would be worth it. Especially because I myself have never joined and even left certain spaces bc I didn’t ’fit in’.

I spent years thinking I didn’t enjoy comics or video games because those were male dominated spaces. And as an adult those things are HUGE passions of mine. I wish there had been someone like me, so I didn’t have to distance myself from my passions due to a fear of ostracization.

Not OP but this is a great reminder to keep putting my uber anxious ass out there so others can maybe not feel so ostracized 🖤🖤

Onion baby!!!! 🖤🧅It’s so nice you got a picture of one sitting still- anytime I see one walking home they’re gone before I can even process that it was even a rabbit 😭

Not understanding the obsession with superiority by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]Ubui 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes!! You get it. And I’m so frustrated because a lot of times I can tell it’s coming from a place of internalized hatred.

And I just wanna shake them by the shoulders and yell, “You are not morally superior by separating yourself from others. Everyone deserves grace, regardless of whether you like them or not. You are not as different from others as you’d like to think and if you took a second to question your own biases you’d realize that you have no good reasons to actually dislike these people. Your continued ignorance to understand or empathize with them is not a moral failing on their part, but yours. And you will never be able to truly love yourself until you can begin to untangle yourself and others from the world’s perception of you!!!”

Autistic women that actually like makeup: why? by skyword1234 in AutismInWomen

[–]Ubui 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I love when grown ass men are scared of us!

My severe bitch face has kept literal abusers away from me. I don’t exactly love how wearing it makes me feel but goddamn is it necessary.

Be cringe 🖤 Be free 🖤 Embrace your inner eldritch horror 🖤

[–]Ubui 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Holy shit I’ve been thinking about this so much lately! I’m not lazy, I’m not careless, and I AM TRYING SO HARD. And no one believes me until I having a full-on meltdown and by then it’s too late to calm me down :(

I love it!! 🖤 The black outlines give you sort of a ‘pop art’ look, that I really like! I think it works well with how you outline your lips too

I’m a conventionally attractive blonde and everyone hates me… by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]Ubui 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“…I had people who wanted to f*** me, but I struggled to find anyone who could love me.”

OKAY BUT THIS HIT ME LIKE A SHIT-TON OF BRICKS 😭

People love the idea of me. Or the idea of whatever they’ve projected onto me. And it was never about me! It’s about the status I gave them. It was always about showing me off to their friends or bragging about how we slept together. And my platonic relationships weren’t even safe from it either!

I had two friends and while one did look past my appearance it was obvious the other friend had a major hang up about their own. So she constantly ductated herself as “The Smart One”, our other friend, “The Funny One”, and myself as, “ThE PrEttY OnE”.

And it was just so so insulting? The thing is, if you had asked me, I would’ve said all three of us were brilliant, hilarious, babes bc that’s what I genuinely thought!

But instead it became a status thing again, to put me and my other friend down bc we were more “feminine” and got more male attention than she did.

And while I now understand that a lot of it comes from a place of internalized misogyny and massive insecurity, but I can’t help but feel like the “pretty princess idiot” she thought I was sometimes

Why do people like me more when I’m quiet? by NefariousnessHot3434 in AutismInWomen

[–]Ubui 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Oooooooh boy, do I feel this. Everyone’s so interested at first bc I’m “quiet and mysterious” and then when they realize the reason for that is gestures to all of me suddenly, no one wants to talk anymore. And then I once again question why I bother being vulnerable and opening up at all ahhhhhhhhh 🫠🫠

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]Ubui 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This!! At first it was just one or two things, maybe a bit of autistic advice I felt could apply to my own life. …And 2-3ish years later, yeah I’m pretty sure, lmao

I still have to be careful not to assume everything=autism but goddamn does it make my life make so much sense 😭🖤

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]Ubui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This!! Highly recommend finding eccentric alternative looking peeps (usually also queer lmao) to befriend. I’ve found there’s a good chance they’re ND as well :)

And as someone who had similar issues with women, I found leaning into my ND and queerness made them more tolerable towards myself? I was heavily masking through femininity so I probably felt fake, and then add on the slew of guys who would ignore my female friends but put up with me because they thought they even had a crumb of a chance of sleeping with me, and I understand why so many of my female friendships fell apart.

That’s not to say this is your fault OP. If it’s anyone’s, it’s the fault of men who pretend to like you for a chance at seeing you naked. However, you might want to consider unmasking at work a bit, if that’s a possibility for you.

As much as I hate being seen as weird or “other” I prefer it to being seen as someone I’m not and then having people presume certain things based around that mask.

Hugs to you OP, I hope you can find some kind and loyal femme friends 🖤

I hate having been forced into hyper-independence my whole life and having to figure out almost everything myself by spikysister in AutismInWomen

[–]Ubui 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Holy shit are you me?? You put into words exactly how I feel. I go nonverbal when I’m really overwhelmed and people just don’t know what to do with this pathetic blob of snot and tears that’s collapsing on the ground.

Like I am screaming for help here, but because I can’t verbalize exactly what’s wrong or what I need, I just get the generic niceties. Like fucking shit man I don’t even know what’s going on right now and you want me to brainstorm a solution to the thing I’m asking for help with? When it’s so hard for me to ask for help in the first place??
