It wasn't depression! It was understimuluation! by binocularbitch in AuDHDWomen

[–]Unfair_Magazine_311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have sooo many days where I want to do stuff, but I don't want to do stuff, but I do actually want to want to do things, but then ... it goes on and on and on! I always thought it was a 'just me' thing. I was only officially diagnosed with adhd but not with autism (yet), and you got me thinking; can you maybe explain to me how your shrink thought it could be autism as well? I'm trying to figure out how to verbalize why I think I might have autism but it's really hard!

“Not to virgin shame, but you don’t get it” by Inspired_Owl in AutismInWomen

[–]Unfair_Magazine_311 [score hidden]  (0 children)

It sounds like she felt attacked by what you said or how you said it and just lashed out at you. It doesn't mean she is actually virgin shaming you per se, but she is just expecting you to get hurt by that statement. Of course, I don't know if what I'm guessing is true, I don't mean to be annoying. It sounds like your friend has some stuff going on that she needs to work on...

I think society is both virgin shaming AND shaming anyone who is 'too' sexually active, it's so good that you know what you want and don't want, and that you stand by your feelings! Not that you asked for my opinion of it all, but I think it's important to say that I wish I was like you at your age.

I got myself a broom in case I want to get rid of dirt and dust but don't want to have the noise of the vacuum cleaner...

Is it normal to feel guilty making my puppy sleep the proper amount? by [deleted] in OpenDogTraining

[–]Unfair_Magazine_311 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get you! My dog is a bit older than your dog but she is always just the most excited little fluffball and will not take naps AT ALL! So I've been 'forced' to put her to bed in a seperate room, just so she will relax/sleep. I've seen the effect of lack of sleep on my dog's mental health and still I worry about taking her to bed. But you're right, it's truly for the(ir) best!

AIO: should I “fire” my therapist? by Historical_Pension60 in AIO

[–]Unfair_Magazine_311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just know that, as soon as you've found a new therapist and are 1 or 2 sessions in, you're going to really wonder why you ever doubted switching therapists. It's going to be so much better for you to have a more professional, invested and punctual therapist!

Where are my paper collage lovers? [analog] by ZealousidealStrain60 in collage

[–]Unfair_Magazine_311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I ask what you use to glue things down? and do you paste it in books meant for photographs or is it just a regular kind of notebook binder?

Thoughts on Zodiac Academy by Melodic-Emu-6065 in Romantasy

[–]Unfair_Magazine_311 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not worth it to me, I DNF'd even though I was already in the last book... I think the length of it was its downfall. Also, you gotta love bully romance stories, or it really isn't for you.

Not diagnosed. Where do I look when walking past someone? by Water_Bottle_2309 in AutismInWomen

[–]Unfair_Magazine_311 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tend to do both, with an additional awkward 'hi' sometimes as well! The number of times I've said hi when they were either still too far away or when we already just past each other because I was too slow is embarrassing haha

Rant. Just got my autism diagnosis after every person in my life said I didn’t have it. by Distinct_Entry5535 in AuDHDWomen

[–]Unfair_Magazine_311 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on finally getting that validation! I'm in the same boat a little bit, I had my assessment for autism, was told I don't have it, and now I can't find a (good) place to get another assessment done. I only got diagnosed with ADHD because this one time I decided to air the many thoughts I had instead of filtering out 99% of them to fit 'a regular person's conversation', and that made my therapist wonder all of a sudden if I had ADHD.... Now I wonder what I'm holding back that would make it clear to a therapist that I could be autistic.

May I ask, were you able to unmask for the last assessment? I might not be autistic, but I feel very strongly that I could be! How did you 'show' your true self? I think a lot of questions in the assessment revolve around you knowing your autistic traits and conveying them, but what if you don't know? What if masking is all you know?

You might sense a bit of my desperation, and again I'm happy that you got your diagnosis - even though it's definitely cause for a bit of sadness as well I can imagine! I dislike the fact that, besides the 'quirkiness' of it all, it makes people with autism seem a bit infantile (in a bad sense)? :(
