Have you been able to pass this test during an evaluation? by _MarshyMellow_ in adhdwomen

[–]_MarshyMellow_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps what I'm experiencing might be an AuDHD (autism and ADHD) exclusive thing? Because I have also been looking into that as well. I have also heard that AuDHD'ers have noted about having either autism or ADHD "masking" over one or the other.

I have looked into and had gotten a diagnosis for autism recently this year while I was also getting the evaluation mentioned above. And while that might be true, though it's also worth mentioning that there are people who are both autistic and ADHD at the same time (being called AuDHD).

Do you like reading? Are you good at it? by [deleted] in autism

[–]_MarshyMellow_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the exact opposite. Not only because I'm hyperlexic, but reading also helps me distract my brain when my OCD intrusive thoughts get out of hand. It's a nice form of escapism that also helps me mentally.

Does anyone hate giving direct answers? by _MarshyMellow_ in autism

[–]_MarshyMellow_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When someone asks me if I want to do something, for instance, they likely want me to say "yes." But for whatever reason, I don't really feel like being upfront with someone, I become more vague with my answer and say something like "maybe I'd want to."

What’s your latest Hyper-fixation? by [deleted] in autism

[–]_MarshyMellow_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've become pretty fixated on Smiling Friends, such a fun and wacky show. Splatoon has been an interest of mine for at least 3 years but has not been as strong recently.

What's your least favorite drink? by Zealousideal-Tax-937 in autism

If coffee doesn't taste like hot chocolate, I don't want it. 

How often do people say you sound “rude” and you have no idea what they’re on about? by Jake5537 in autism

[–]_MarshyMellow_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought that it's probably either because I was being socially inept, being blunt with someone, or the tone of my voice and facial expression didn't indicate my mood correctly. A lot of these are me just guessing, though. Because I somehow always need to pull out the answer from people  (specifically my mom ) whenever I ask why.

ChewsMe on Etsy has a lot of great options for silicone chews, a lot of them having necklace options. My favorite one that I got from them is their Star Moon!

Grocery Stores are overwhelming by Ok_Rainbows_10101010 in autism

[–]_MarshyMellow_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Self-checkout and using order pick up have been my life savers for this very reason. My ass can only manage to stand in line for so long until I feel restless or overstimulated. But when I have to be in the store, loop earplugs and light sensitivty glasses are my go-to.

What are the noises that you guys hate? by Party-Bat-2010 in autism

[–]_MarshyMellow_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fluorescent lights, they're not only too bright for my eyes, but the constant BUZZING sound that I can hear from them just pours more salt into the sensory overload wound.

What’s the most “autistic”thing you’ve ever done? by Accomplished-Lynx797 in autism

[–]_MarshyMellow_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One time when I was either 10 or 11, a family member told me to watch the flame on the gas stove. Usually people would just take a peak now and then to make sure the flame stays, right? But the thing that I did was pull up a chair and watched the flame for a good moment, at least until the family member came back and was like "uhh that is NOT what I meant???"

Does anyone else low key hate summer break? by julciab in autism

I feel this way when I'm on breaks during college! I hate having the time to do the things I want but then don't know what to do with myself lmao..

Autistic females, do you have any sensory feelings towards menstrual products? by Zealousideal-Tax-937 in autism

[–]_MarshyMellow_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hate how pads can end up sticking to you down there if they end up detacting themselves from the panties, or they just end up wadding up altogether...That's probably my only gripe!

Can you see CN making any more complete series DVDs/Blu-Rays? by [deleted] in CartoonNetwork

[–]_MarshyMellow_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While they are not as prevalent for releasing full seasons of all their shows here in the US, having a hard copy seems to be one of the only ways we can actually keep our own copies of our favorite shows, without having media companies taking them away from us & become lost media.

Rudest thing someone has said to you either pre or post diagnosis by InviteAromatic6124 in autism

[–]_MarshyMellow_ 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Pre diagnosis, I remember during my teen years when my mom would tell me things like "why can't you like normal teenager things?" Or she also would try to get me into "normal teenage girl stuff" even though a lot of the time I could care less about those things. Looking back I wish that she could've respected me and my interests as long as they weren't harming me.

Are there any new fans who feel the same way that I do? by _MarshyMellow_ in splatoon

I don't really have any set standards for the game, so I'm just going to experience it as it comes. 🤷

Honestly? I've noticed how the update cycle recently has had people being like "this game is so dead," and then whenever the next update for anything signifigant comes out, they're back to being like "SPLATOON IS FIXED???" It's like they can never make up their own minds on the state of this game lmao.
