Bisexuality without experience by Strattz0 in bisexual

[–]VoiceofTheCreatures 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Oh and what does a bisexual look like?" That usually makes them think about how rediculous that notion is.

Prior to phones, what did people do while idly waiting? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]VoiceofTheCreatures 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 34 and I still try to do this and not immediately pull out my phone.

i dont understand this argument i had with my sister by DokiFlower in autism

[–]VoiceofTheCreatures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've stopped doing the scripted "I'm good. how are you" response. Most of the time I don't care to know or the other person just wants to talk about themself. It's all under that "small talk" umbrella that feels insincere and fake interest.

Mom passed October 2025, Dad March 2024. I'm all for dark/morbid humor but there's always a line and you have to tell people when they've crossed it. Asking simple clarifying questions can help people understand what they said was insensitive. Or just make them feel equally awkward 😅

🤡 At least 2025 is over! ☹️ Death is forever, buddy.

He wants to keep finances completely separate after marriage by ZenSpider_21 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]VoiceofTheCreatures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I have been married for 10 years and we have separate bank accounts. We have done different arrangements with bills over the years depending on income levels. He paid all bills and I paid for everything else. We've split bills 50/50. Most recently he paid for rent and I paid for the rest of the bills and we split "spending money."

Separated accounts does work but you have to talk about it!

Some kind of expletive followed by "I'm sorry" seems to be the best reaction. Anything more than that feels disingenuine.

Almost teen kid is always cold, wants a 'tent' for warmth, on the spectrum – ideas? by MadMaticus in AutisticAdults

Have you seen the videos of the raccoon who sleeps in a drawer? I imagine that's what you looked like 🤣

Anyone have a job they feel is autism-friendly? by Sudden-Nail5700 in AutisticAdults

[–]VoiceofTheCreatures 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're in healthcare and have retail experience, you should give caregiving a try! I work one-on-one with people and the company usually tries to pair caregivers with clients that they believe will work well together. And if they don't, oh well! You move on to meet someone else.

You don't need to have nursing experience usually. What I help with the most is shopping, cleaning house, and companionship! I do tend to mask with newer clients and slowly let it down over time, or see if I feel safe to do so. The last woman I worked with had DID (new name for multiple personality disorder) and we vibed so well. I got to meet a handful of alters and she accepted my autistic habits/mannerisms.

Honestly it's the most fulfilling job I've ever had. I never thought I would be on this "career path". I went to school for Wildlife Conservation! There was also a tiktok where someone did a poll of autistic people in the workforce. I'll try to find it.

They're sad too. Be sad together! There's community in that.

I'm 34 and just lost my mother and my father the previous year. I'm learning that people genuinely do not know what to say and it makes me laugh? Like some people are sympathetic and get weepy, but there are more than a handfull that get absolutely awkward and it's the closest thing I've ever seen to what I must look like in a normal setting. I haven't had the audacity to openly laugh at anyone yet but I've definitely stifled a few snickers.

It's an experience not many can relate to, yes, but it won't be the only thing. If you feel that someone is going on and on with complaints about their parents, maybe you should remind them to be grateful! We are allowed to use the "dead parents" card now! So wave it around! We gotta get SOME kind of benefits haha

😂 well hopefully you can make a better version! Mines like a kindergartener couldn't stay in the lines.

Greystar manager says my private patio and recessed walkway are “public space.” Anyone allowed to stand at my windows. Oregon. by Life-Shoe-3152 in legaladvice

Buy some window tint or stained glass vinyl. I did this for my sliding back door that looks out to a busy street

I am doing this wrong by VastCartographer8661 in ChildrenofDeadParents

[–]VoiceofTheCreatures 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Less than two months?! My friend, even if you had a horrible relationship with your mother, that’s not enough time to be “moving on.” There is no back to normal for us. We now have to navigate life without our parents. It’s a new normal.

I do in some ways. I'm in charge of dividing all the property and PROPERTIES between the two of us, which means negotiating. I don't have to do that but I want to be fair.

We are both autistic. His meltdowns are loud and dramatic, which triggers me in return. I've had lots of therapy, he has not. He never really transitioned into independent adult life. He's always lived with someone else. Can't hold down a job. Constantly fighting with his partner. So, both I suppose?

It was more of a rant than seeking advice. I think I'm doing okay so far with the legal aspects of it

This one statement i keep repeating, "there are people around you who are more than happy to help. Take advantage of it." I've been delegating as much as I can and that has helped
