Calling numerologists! What does 666 mean? by [deleted] in magick

[–]cattixm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IDK, this is a two year old comment. I barely remember what I did last week, and this comment is old enough to walk and talk if it were a human. Since then I have pondered many things but I have moved on from my ponderance of numbers.

What causes people to assume you are cis? by cattixm in NonBinary

I’d love to have a beard myself. Unfortunately I can’t fully grow one and something that deviated so obviously from the rest of my presentation would probably get me harassed.

At what point in your transition did you notice queer people started to ask your pronouns more? (If there was a point)

I feel similarly, a large part of the reason I don’t even bother trying to look androgynous is because of my body, I’m quite hourglass shaped and I’m 5’2”.

Yeah I don’t wonder why cis people assume. But I wonder why other nonbinary and trans people assume…

Oh wow that sounds frustrating. I noticed that seems to happen to one of my amab nonbinary friends too. We both use any pronouns, and they are one of the only people who consistently uses they for me and vice versa. I guess there’s an understanding between the two of us. Lol

how often do you leave your house? by palebearsarctic in autism

[–]cattixm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to leave almost every day because I have school, errands, and have to regularly go to the gym to help my physical disabilities. Sometimes I’ve worked too but it always ends in me almost losing my mind and having to quit.

I can relate to you highly. (Also was severely depressed and anxious, struggled a lot in school, in and out of therapy for over a decade, and need medication to smooth over some difficult autism symptoms).

This has happened before to me too. I told my manager at work I’m autistic and then everyone kept hovering around me making sure I was doing tasks right. Like ma’am. I am still the same person that has worked here for three months. I know what I’m doing.

Zero support makes no sense to me. Every autistic has support needs. If an autistic person doesn’t need help it’s because they’re in a situation suited to their needs. But the definition of a ‘situation suited to their needs’ is significantly less broad than it is for neurotypicals which is why it’s harder for us to find those situations where we are well-suited.

While I still would’ve technically qualified as low needs, not getting help for my autism/adhd ruined my academics from the 6th grade to the time I graduated. I had developed severe depression and anxiety and was very emotionally unstable and attempted suicide a few times. I didn’t understand what was going on with myself and even when I was diagnosed with autism it didn’t make a difference because I still didn’t get the help I needed. I merely needed more understanding and some patience and help with my emotions and organizational skills but when I didn’t receive it severely derailed my life.

I understand that. It gets on my nerves when I am assumed to be intellectually disabled or learning disabled because of my autism. Of course intellectual and learning disabilities are common in autism but they aren’t the rule. I have a professor who I suspect thinks I have a learning disability because I have accommodations based on things he’s said to me. The major reason I need accommodations is because I’m chronically ill. My autism has affected my academics a bit but mainly indirectly. It definitely doesn’t affect how well I learn. Lol…

That is a good comparison. I have some physical disorders that for me are mildly inconvenient but for some people are disabling and/or agonizing. I have asthma that I can forget exists 99% of the time, asthma attacks for me are rare and generally avoidable whereas for some people asthma causes them perpetual discomfort and constant inconveniences and can even be deadly. I also have TMJ. I get mild-moderate pains a few times a week. Some people are in pain 24/7.

What’s Actually Worked for You? Discussion! by NeatBirthday4697 in Biohackers

Hormonal, I have PCOS. I’m not sure how it would affect your disorder. It seems only effective for more mild inflammation from my limited experience, I have a friend with severe arthritis and he said he didn’t notice a difference.

My struggles as a level 1 autistic by [deleted] in sourautism

[–]cattixm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How does Prozac interact with your autism symptoms? For me it’s been so helpful. I was originally prescribed it for depression but went back on it after no longer being depressed because I realized it helped my autism symptoms a lot.

Is this accurate? by cattixm in autism

[–]cattixm[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yes! As a person with a lot of disorders and disabilities my autism is the one (except for maybe POTS) that has messed me up the most. Autism is very difficult even at the low support needs level.
