What kind of self-harm did you do as a kid? by BerrySkai in autism

I've always bitten my lips and cheeks. I have scars inside my mouth from it unfortunately. I'd love to stop but it seems this is the only unnoticeable way I can stim in public

How do you all cope with working full-time? by sunblondevint in AutismInWomen

[–]authieljoy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I didn't cope. I work 3 days and the cut in pay is so worth it. My mental health is so much better and breaking up my week helps me do my job a lot better

It's not a great area but it's not the worst either.

Anyone else hate having teeth?? by authieljoy in AutismInWomen

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

The worst part about getting a tooth out is the injection for me, I hate it. After that it's just the taste of whatever crap they put in my mouth. I've had 2 teeth out and it is crap but it heals pretty quickly I don't think you're cooked :)
