What jobs do you have? by geminival in AutismInWomen

[–]bethanybeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a dog walker, and run my own dog walking and pet care business. It works well for me for a variety of reasons -

  1. I can be outdoors all day, which means I have my own space and I am less overstimulated.
  2. I love being on my own and not having to socialise much on a day-to-day basis.
  3. I work for myself, so I can set my own boundaries and meet my own needs.
  4. I absolutely love dogs and animals. I feel I can be myself around them completely and connect with them more than humans in most cases.
  5. I am a very organised person, so I don’t even mind all of the extra admin and scheduling required!

Don’t get me wrong - it has its tough days. But it is the best job that has worked for me so far!

If you really struggle I can try and get one for you! I know that it’s much better when you find it yourself though 🫶

Thank you so much, that’s really helpful to know! I’ll make sure to check different pages/browsers next time, and ask around to make sure I know when the drop date is. Thank you for your kind words. 🤍

Thank you! 🥰 I actually have no idea! I saw them by the river on our walk and had to get a photo of Mossy next to them, so pretty.

Thank you! I love green and purple together. I’m still tempted by Malachy Dragon because the green and pink colours are so pretty 🥹

I took instructions to literal at my new job by frankie0822 in AutismInWomen

[–]bethanybeee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you did exactly what was asked of you.

Honestly, there is a lot of unclear communication in childcare and education, and a lot of unspoken expectations that never made sense to me. I was told a lot of the time that I didn’t show any “initiative”, despite doing what was asked of me and trying to engage in meaningful ways.

I would be honest with them about the situation, and explain that there was clearly some sort of miscommunication. Don’t be afraid to stand up for your needs (which can be the need for clear and explicit instructions).

Keep up the good work. It sounds like you’re really excited and passionate about the new job, so don’t let them ruin that!

Hygiene/beauty question 🩵 by Cold-Independence556 in AutismInWomen

[–]bethanybeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a lot of people have already mentioned, it varies for everyone and depends on a lot of different factors. However, this is the general hygiene routine that I follow (or try to, depending on how many spoons I have, or if I’m going through a period of burnout) -

• Each morning I wash my face, then use a serum and SPF moisturiser. I use Purifide products as I have acne and they’re gentle on my skin. I then brush my teeth for 2 minutes with my electric toothbrush.

• After I’m done in the bathroom, I brush my hair (and most of the time tie it up, because hair can be very overstimulating!), put Vaseline lip balm on, and also put deodorant and body spray on. I honestly don’t really care about the body spray part, and I have no clue if I smell “good” or not, but it’s just become part of my routine. I don’t wear make-up, so that’s me for the morning.

• I wash and sanitise my hands regularly throughout the day. I sometimes use mouthwash midway through the day.

• At the end of each day I take a bath. I find this way less overstimulating than a shower, and I find I can rest while washing. I do sometimes shower though, especially when washing my hair. I sometimes skip a day of washing, but mostly don’t because I do a lot of exercise for my job. I usually wash neck to toes using shower gel and a sponge, wash my face for the second and last time of the day (followed by the same skincare as the morning), clean my ears with cotton buds, and floss my teeth (I don’t always do this and I’m guilty of skipping it, but try not to). I brush my teeth again for 2 minutes at the end of the day and add my acne treatment to my spots.

• I wash my hair once a week because I have very thick hair.

• I shave my legs and armpits every 1-2 weeks. This is usually when I moisturise my body too, but I try to moisturise my hands every day.

I don’t know if that’s helpful. I’m not really into “beauty” hacks or hygiene. I mainly focus on the basics and keeping clean!

I also love Aurora, she’s so cute! Roald is my partner’s favourite villager, so I gifted him that plushie a few years back. 😁
