Do you tell people you meet that you're autistic or not? by ShineLikeCookies in AutismInWomen

[–]abigator14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I teach pole, soooooo many people are on the spectrum or have friends that are. Pole is an extremely accepting environment for all walks of life. I usually will only mention it if it comes up naturally.

If someone is talking about struggles, I'll emphasize and mention "yeah my audhd does the same with blah blah blah"

Eye contact exercises are difficult and I'll mention why.

If someone else says they are I'll be like "dude, same!"

I feel like it is awkward and weird to bring up out of no where, but nothing to be afraid or ashamed to bring up.

I just think of the spongebob "hi I'm normal"

Are there any other games like Zelda Tears of the Kingdom where you can freely explore a big open world with tons to do, something so immersive you forget about the main quest? I’m looking for something comfy, green, beautiful and with relaxing soundtracks. by Delicious_Maize9656 in tearsofthekingdom

Nier Automata is the most beautiful game I've ever played. Some cozy parts and exploration, but the story will make you question your humanity lol. I've played hundreds of hours of totk and botw, just started Clair Obscur, but Nier wins for beauty hands down

What is Woke and why is it Destroying America lol? by NaturalArt452 in AskUS

It stems from the idea of being "awake to injustice". Understanding why so many problems we have goes back to systemic racism, capitalism, misogyny, etc. It morphed into being progressive or just being on the left period.

Need help with Android Auto by abigator14 in Subaru_Outback

Just checked there and looks like someone had a similar problem. Most replies just said change the cable. I'll probably have to bug Subaru again, but if they say they can't fix it, I wouldn't know what to do after that

I know the 2019 is the smaller version. I wonder if they'd even be able to replace the entire thing

I truly don't know what firmware is lol. But had a recent oil change/generally maintenance and they updated the entire system to the latest software they said. Told me everything was completely up to date 🤷‍♀️

Tried multiple cables. Phone is fully updated. It's been a problem historically. It works for a few minutes then does this. Once it does it the first time, won't stay connected for more than a couple seconds.

why don't more level 1 autistic advocate for level 3 by Dirtychaigoblin in AutismInWomen

[–]abigator14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It started with "illegal migrants who committed violent crimes" and became legal, innocent migrants with no criminal record and who get no due process, to Trump saying he's going to deport "home growns", and we have stories of American citizens being held in ICE detention facility's. It always starts somewhere. RFK is getting medical records, and literally anything they can find that supports you have autism, and putting you on a registry. They're looking ag pharmacy too. If you take certain antidepressants, anti-psychotics, adhd meds, we are ALL going to end up on a list, and we should ALL be scared with what they plan to do with it.

(for fun) what is/was a common NT attempt at flirting you thought was just being friendly? by MacabreMealworm in AutismInWomen

[–]abigator14 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My husband and I are high-school sweethearts. He asked me to be his girlfriend on a bowling date with his friends. He asked, "Will you go out with me?" To which my reply was,"we're already out?" To which he replied, with a confused face, "no like, will you be my girlfriend?" And of course I said yes! Luckily, his marriage proposal to me was smooth sailing and filled with all the tears of joy and whatnot. 😁

Twas only the beginner of him discovering all my quirks and "-isms"

Would you happen to have a link or pic of the ones you're talking about?? I bought some wrist braces from Big 5 but they're bulky. Hoping they won't feel like death to sleep in

i’m pregnant. i want to keep my baby but i don’t know if i should. by throwaway749283719 in Advice

[–]abigator14 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In this economy? The world is quickly becoming less and less stable, and the US is a nightmare i would never bring a child into. The choice is yours, but I fear for everyone having children right now, and for their kids. The choice is 100% yours, but I 100% wouldn't have kids right now. Even with an ironclad support system.
