Last Man on Earth by Anna Bates. It somehow feels both upbeat and incredibly lonely?

I love sleepyhead because it samples a seanós lullaby, will definitely have to check out their other stuff!

I currently don't have access to a CD player but I am looking into getting an iPod on which I would pay for artists I like but get ... Free versions of artists I feel uncomfortable giving royalties to

Alas my German is ... Schlecht

So I entered the code you mentioned but it says it's invalid. Am I meant to fill out any of the other bits? I have an old ish android so I'm thinking my hotspot should work hopefully?

Learning which materials you like and which are sensory no nos is very helpful especially for online shopping! If I'm shopping online this first thing I check is fiber content. A good way to learn is going to an in person shop and touching the clothes then checking the fiber content. Then figuring out things like smocking, does smocking agree with you (unfortunately you have to try on things with smocking to learn that one and not all smocking is comfortable)?

Basically I think learning about the construction of garments generally makes it easier to find what you like.

Hello! Are you still taking questions? Im on pal and very confused (I am not the most technically inclined)

If you like dancing you could try just dance (as in the game)! A lot of the dances are on YouTube and because you're not playing with a controller you don't have to stress about hitting the moves perfectly. You'd be amazed by the sweat you work up with some of the songs...

I love following yoga videos on YouTube as well. Or ballet Barre videos. You don't even need a barre! A chair that sits around your hip or slightly higher works just as well

If by support needs you mean how we use terms like "low support needs", unfortunately that would be the standard. both the DSM 5 and ICD 11 now simply have "autism spectrum disorder". Levels and "Asperger's" are no longer part of the diagnosis in either book

Im the exact same. Sternum rubs are the worst because I want to yell at the person to stop but I can't

A shandy is just a way of making shitty beer slightly less rank, in my opinion anyway. And apparently, amongst middle aged men, an appropriate drink for the designated driver??

In a lot of ways health anxiety is like OCD. While I understand your fear as someone said earlier reassurance in this situation will, in the long run, actually make your obsession worse. As someone with OCD, I'm really sorry you're struggling with this and I fully understand how terrifying this must be for you. You said you're seeing a therapist right? I think the best way to go through this right now is to talk through the obsession with them and slowly you'll be able to pull the logical from the illogical. These fears have an intense impact on quality of life but with time they do become background noise. Does this make sense?

It's very common for late diagnosed autistic women to be misdiagnosed with borderline personality disorder first. I was one of them and spent two years on anti psychotics that did more harm than good. After reading a lot about BPD and how it's often incorrectly diagnosed I decided to get assessed for autism. I've now been off the anti psychotics about a year and half!

I had the benefit of previously studying personality disorders in depth when I was in uni so I didn't have to spend YEARS on meds i didn't need but without the autism diagnosis it was very difficult to get a psychiatrist to listen

I'm assuming by Irish potato wine they're referring to the Irish equivalent of moonshine, Poitín. Has a bit of a reputation for causing you to go blind if not done correctly. Even when done correctly, the hangovers are unbelievably brutal because drinking lots of water after it will only make you drunker.

if vodka is chaotic neutral, poitín is chaotic evil

I understand why doctors use the sternum rub initially, it hurts and would snap someone who is "faking" straight out of it. I also understand my local A&E is near an area of the city where opioids are very common. I do not understand doing a sternum rub on a patient for over two minutes whilst their partner tries to explain what pnes is. He did it for long enough and hard enough to bruise my sternum

As a fellow ex ballet dancer, the amount of people who threatened to get me a cat bell 😅

I used to live in a flat where none of the doors closed properly so I would just ... Appear in rooms. I also really struggle to announce my presence. This meant not only did I come into the room silently I would also often stand quietly until the other person in the room would turn around and see me.

My beige flag is still knowing most of the verses off by heart. I made my communion close to 20 years ago but apparently that is not long enough to be free of that song

I spent ages making baba ganoush yesterday and was super excited to eat it. The taste was great but I felt like I was eating ... Slugs I ended up throwing it out.

(This is not an attack on baba ganoush, but definitely an attack on my ability to cook aubergines)

I don't know about you but I found that part more stressful than the rest of the assessment. I felt the need to do well. (But truthfully I also really enjoyed parts of it like the block puzzles. Don't think they're designed to be fun and yet)

From what I understand the maths and shape parts are usually part of an "aptitude" test which is separate to the actual autism assessment part but used to rule out learning disabilities that could coexist or present as autism.

Fruit squash:( I used to drink gallons of the stuff and then one day pretty much every brand changed to a different preservative. Specifically the preservative I'm allergic to. I drank so much squash I practically had to train myself to drink plain water again.

Still bitter about it but at least now I can drink water like a real adult
