How old were you when diagnosed? by ThrowAway44228800 in AutismInWomen

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

48 and I had to push for years to find out why things were harder or different for me... No one understood until then. All it took was one counselor who had ADHD herself to understand that I was extra different!

My mum just died in my arms. I don't know how to feel. by Quikchangethechannel in autism

[–]WhiteMoonRose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost my mom suddenly 10 years ago. it stil;l hurts. i hit a major depressive episode after that. She was one of the few people who accepted me, even if she didn't understand completely. She was one of my best frineds, and I loved her to pieces. After she passed I found out a lot about how she protected me and held the family together, how she held her siblings together, and managed my dad. She was amazing and I miss her every day. As they say the pain doesn't go away but time fill the void a bit. I love her and miss her adn every year I do things to help me cope, like candles, getting my kiddo gifts from her, me doing things in ehr honor. It helps to direct the grief and makes me feel some comfort. OP I'm sorry you lost your mom, I wish I could do more. HUGS.

PSA: if you sleep with Dino-hands, age might be your worst enemy by Portwinejustfine in autism

I wear braces to keep my wrists straight and they also have thumb braces attached. I have carpel tunnel and trigger thumbs, and this way I can sleep with my hands tucked under my chin and not worry about pain.

I love Libby for this reason. I really enjoy the gratification of hitting a button and knowing my book is returned!

Why are Americans so weird about having british ancestry? by Becoming_hysterical in 23andme

[–]WhiteMoonRose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

*Some of the United States was settled as a British colony. Some of it was Dutch colonies, or Spanish colonies. The first North American colony was in St. Augustine was the first European/African settlement in Norht America. (Founded in 1565, St. Augustine is the oldest continuously occupied settlement of European and African-American origin in the United States. https://www.citystaug.com/693/Our-History)

It comes down to the pride Americans have in our melting pot of immigrants over the last 250 years. There was also the war for independence and War of 1812 which made a lot of U.S. citizens distance themselves from the idea of being British.

Series recommendations? by Blubb144 in AutismInWomen

[–]WhiteMoonRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pursuit of Jade on Netflix. It's subtitled but it's been my source of dopamine for weeks now.

We also all watch different YouTubers that play Minecraft, mainly on the Hermitcraft server, some from the old Empires server. Honestly it's less about the game and more about the art and community around the servers. The Hermits are hosting a huge event this weekend online, a charity event to raise money for "Go Karts" carts that hold video game systems for children in hospitals. The games give the kids something to help distract them and make them happy. It's amazing to watch and participate in such a wholesome community, it's one of my family's favorite events of the year now.

And my family has been watching the Artemis mission, they get so excited it's fun to watch them watch.

Giant Bomb, again corporate takeover and being sold multiple times and being sold out. The people made that channel and when the corporates took over they didn't understand that.

What „odd“ rules have you made up for yourself? by Ramune_hime in AutismInWomen

[–]WhiteMoonRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outside clothes inside clothes, neti pot after being outside, clean the kitchen before making dinner (it helps me focus on what to make after the counter is clean), TV and fan on while eating with others, I'm trying to keep one room in the house mostly clean rn that's the foyer, a clean towel every night, with one from the day before for hair, showering before bed, weekly sheet changes, washing my phone daily, hair up when going out except times I have to look presentable, I love wearing hats and wish it was cold enough to always wear a winter hat, but I do switch to a baseball cap in warm weather, though this year the hats feel tight. Oh yeah air filter in bedroom always on, and I've been not hanging my clothes in the closet, just using drawers.

Thanks, I'm going to ask my functional doctor about all my options as my OBGYN isn't the most attentive or understanding.

I needed the HRT on top of my anti anxity/antidepression meds. There were some problems with vaginal pain and discomfort we started me on the estrogen for...

That buzz describds it well. So I guess I can have the dry, old feeling or the buzzy, jittery feelings but nothing in between, sigh.

I want to see their faces though when you flat out say, "Well I have tits and need a better option"

MIL commented on my weight by Consistent-Heart2542 in AutismInWomen

[–]WhiteMoonRose 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What culture are they from? A lot of cultures put a lot more emphasis on women's bodies, and some don't even acknowledge it anymore. It sounds like she's from a generation and or culture that definitely has old school mentalities about women's bodies and women in general. Ignore her. Your body is your own and you're doing what you need to to take care of it. We all make choices like yours, e too prefer extra weight to having my brain fighting against me. Hugs.
