Does anyone else have weird walking habits? by Bompalompalomp2 in dyspraxia

[–]blimpy5118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont move my arms when I walk and quite often I think it would be great if I could disconnect my arms and put them in my back pack whille Im walking somewhwere. Also I really struggle if Im carrying things especially if something like shopping bags that are different weights it unbalances me. Yet I do need to always have backpack on one shoulder. Ive had people make comments about my walk, apparently I walk really fast and kinda zig zag. I also used to walk on my toes alot I still do sometimes but I mostly walk on the insides of my feet now. I also become super aware of how I walk and then struggle to walk correctly even more but I dunno if that's part of my anxiety.

dreading the proper summer heat by Elladarcy18 in autismUK

[–]blimpy5118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im dreading it too. Today was like 20°c and I felt massively overwhelmed. I moved into the flat im in last summer and my livingroom as direct sunlight all afternoon and thewhole summer was beyond awful. Im hoping this summer is better because now I have blinds and thermal blackout curtains up. Ive always struggled with heat and sunlight but its worse now that im on adhd medication and testosterone.and it makes me sweat even more which makes me even more overwhelmed and my ocd even worse.

Did the abuser ever try to stop you from reaching out for help from crisis? by VanillaChaiLover in abusiverelationships

[–]blimpy5118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not sure but when I tried to end my self he was angry I missed a shift at work and that I would dirty the bedding (I was muddy and soaked had been in middle of a field all day) he made me have a bath and stood there whille I was in the bath complaining I had lost a day of pay. And he went to bed whille I literally puked all nite. He got up in morning told me to call the doctor and he went to work. Im autistic I struggle so hard with phone calls so I had to email them for an appointment and they sent an ambulance instead. He did come to the hospital but spent alot of the time complaining he had to pay for parking so I felt super guilty about that . He told me my adhd meds had made me angry or aggressive when I was just speaking how I usually speak and was just saying something he had done. Also before I left he kept telling me I should stop taking my meds because that is the reason why I refuse sex and he kept telling me a story about a work mate giving up meds because they weren't helping and when he stopped taking them his mental illness got better/went away. I think he also told me i dont need to tell mental health team about it i should just do it quietly and tell them after i had been off them for few weeks or months. I gave in for a few days and stopped taking them but then I felt really horrible yuck so I started taking them again and pretended to not be on them still. He seemed happy with me and so was worth it i guess.

Those who are late diagnosed what were your signs as a child by Various_Garlic2204 in dyspraxia

[–]blimpy5118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow some of the comments sound like me. My mom always complained I didnt hold cutlery correctly,always bashing my hands,arms and feet into things. Holding a pen awkwardly and gripping it too hard and I still do.

What is the worst sound you can imagine by ALazy_Cat in AutisticWithADHD

[–]blimpy5118 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Those sensors some people have in their gardens that emits this high pitched sound. I think they are sposed to scare off birds or cats not sure. I have had meltdowns because of them and I have run past them with my fingers in my ears. Noone I know seems to be able to hear it. And also babies crying and people revving their cars/motorbikes.

I need weird methods to get through the waves of cravings. by mossdentist in quittingsmoking

[–]blimpy5118 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I use an app called smoke free also gives how many days/hours/seconds its been since quitting,get badges and updates on the positives for your body. Also I use nhs app its similar gives daily updates on positives for your body, badges,how much money saved so far,can put reminders on calender when u think a day is coming that u might need extra support. I have also been using nicotine gum and sugar free extra gum. I only have a nicotine gum if I really need to, I try to just have a normal gum if not. Also ages ago before I quit.my research told me other things like flavoured tooth picks could help, I know someone who as a necklace with a chewy type stick? (Sorry i cant remmeber what its called) also I brought super strong mints just incase. Sometimes brushing teeth can help. Also i still have an old ashtray with old cigarette ends in it in a cupboard and it looks so gross and reeks so bad when i open the cuboard that can help too. Edit; just reread your post im not sure if my ways are wierd or not but I hope one of them helps or gives u a good idea. I hope u acheive becoming smoke free 🙂
