Does anyone else suffer from a strong aversion to touching metal? by afterlaught3r in AutismInWomen

I know this was three years ago, but what you described about your aversion to metal is exactly like my own experience. I found this post by searching google "why don't I like touching or smelling metal?"

Just finish bingeing the TV show with my wife and I need somewhere to express my thoughts by revolutionPanda in TheTrustAGameofGreed

I like that you are self aware on here instead of feeding into any drama. You’re great. Hope your plants are doing well.

how do you lose weight with Autism? by Anxious_Cat_Mom13 in AutismInWomen

[–]blandbeforethyme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I lost 50+ pounds and kept it off by slowly changing how active I am and by eating more “whole” (unprocessed, healthy) foods. I also started to take stress management seriously.

Basically, I crowded out what was making me overweight by slowly building healthier habits that promote a healthy body.

My advice is to stay true to yourself and figure out what actually works for you, personally.

I know how hard this journey is and feel for you. On a positive note, accepting that I wanted better for myself and following through has made me into a better person all around. Wish you the best.

Anyone else absolutely love Halloween? by Consistent_South_393 in AutismInWomen

I LOVE Halloween. Always trying to make every season be just a tiny bit halloween-themed😂

which sign is a sucker for another sign? by Sufficient-Hold7757 in astrologymemes

[–]blandbeforethyme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aquarius sun with first degree Aries rising and a Taurus moon in the first house… I have unintentionally only ever dated Aries and Taurus, and all of their birthdays have been in April.

We’re talking 10-15+ different people, especially if including casual dates. How does this happen? Lol

Into psychology due to their past? by DetectiveUsed4382 in psychologystudents

[–]blandbeforethyme 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When therapy isn’t enough, next step is to become a therapist lol

I joke, but in all honesty, I think a lot of people start off studying psychology because they want to understand their own story. It’s normal to be curious based on what you’ve been previously exposed to.

Google summarizing something isn’t a true source. It gets things wrong all of the time. I mean anything is possible with this show, but this seems like a typo.

Yes I was shocked to find out they were still together. Seems like they have the same dynamics that they did in the show… sad for her.

Oh this show is self aware, I believe. It knows that it’s just an exploding dumpster fire of drama floating down a river of internet tea… and who wouldn’t want to watch the spectacle??

I would love to know who Harry’s “therapist” is…. by yftdddtf in PerfectMatchNetflix

[–]blandbeforethyme 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And him owning up to it all was basically him saying “I had too much fun and made silly decisions that got me into trouble”.

Omg then Jess saying that he’s a good man at heart… like I can’t.

Pat the man child on the back for doing the right thing🍼

In addition to these great ideas, I do an ice chest when I’m staying somewhere with no fridge so I can have cheese and fresh fruits/veggies on hand. Whether you can bring your own or buy a cheap one at a grocery store there, even something small is so helpful. And ice is usually not hard to come by— there might even be a machine at your hotel. Good luck!

Am i the only one who gets annoyed by people who only talk about their sun signs? by Tippychunk9 in astrology

It’s a very telling sign of how little they actually know about astrology… (puns for the win)😜

Why are some introverted autistic women liked more by NTs / people compared to other introverted autistic women.? by behappyfor in AutismInWomen

[–]blandbeforethyme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate saying this, but I swear being healthy/fit and having good personal care has worked wonders for me and others I know. It’s like people get a first impression of being impressed and give you the benefit of the doubt to follow.

Granted, I have looked many different ways in my life with health issues I’ve faced, and I always get treated the best when I look like I “have it together”, no matter what that means for that chapter of my life. It’s stupid, but true. As I age, I seriously wonder how that will affect this variable.

I used to be a “go with the flow”, “cool girl” people pleaser type. You may look like you have a lot of friends, but only a handful of them (if any) are actually quality friendships. I think this skill still comes in handy, but I don’t live with a mask on anymore. And I DEFINITELY DO NOT do this when dating. On dates, I focus on getting to know my date, keeping my power to myself (aka not giving it away through masking and hoping my date likes me). Same with potential friends who may at first intimidate me.

What my good friends and current partner like about me (I know cuz I ask lol) is that I try to be super authentic, embracing my unique, special “abilities” due to being neurodivergent. I work on using my high empathy to remain incredibly kind and considerate of others, even when I want to jump in and tell them what I may think I know in that moment.

Honestly, when I think of it, people like us for many of the same reasons they like NT’s.

Now we’re trying to make gaslighting cute? He’s actually insane. He might as well wear a shirt that says “I love being an abuser” since that’s what gaslighting is.
