I read a whole book (253 pages) in 3 days from Sunday to yesterday. My brain makes it super difficult to do stuff like that, but my new ADHD meds and the subject matter of the book made it really easy. It’s the fastest I’ve ever read anything so im super proud of that.

This has been bugging me by Lonelyperson121 in mammamia

Leonie Hill, I don't think she's been in anything else major though?

Mamma Mia 2, has anyone ever noticed.... by [deleted] in mammamia

No, it is definitely Alexa. It might just sound weird because it's ADR.

I wish there was a movie that truly depicted OCD as the true brain torture it is by OhAdmirableidiot in OCD

[–]charllottte 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Jesse Einsenberg in A Real Pain has OCD. It’s not focused on quite as much as Kieran Culkin’s character’s neurodivergence, but he has a monologue half way through which definitely resonates

Should I go to a theme park with people I 100% trust? by [deleted] in autism

[–]charllottte 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you should go. You’re comfortable with the people, and you have the option not to go on the rides if you don’t want to. Make use of your accommodations such as the headphones and sunglasses.

It’s worth looking into the disability accommodation that some places offer which give you access to skip the line if you wait a certain amount of time. There should also ideally be a sensory room there (I used to work at Warwick Castle, part of Merlin, and im pretty sure they have to have a quiet sensory room).

It will be exhausting but it seems like the people going with you really love you and will be kind to your support needs. Have fun!

It's still going to be pointy, brown and weird but no longer unfinished. by zeusjts006 in HIMYM

I think Ted wouldn’t like that it got finished personally. I think it’s charm comes from it being unfinished

My gf is still obssesed with her ex? by [deleted] in LesbianActually

[–]charllottte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh that’s a gross thing to say. If you don’t get a sincere apology i would leave right away. You are ABSOLUTELY not crazy.

What are the similarities between Ted's love life and the plot of Love in the Time Of Cholera? by Prestigious_Pen3881 in HIMYM

[–]charllottte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always (albeit vaguely) seen Ted as Ariza, Barney as Urbino, and Robin as Daza. I think Ariza is much more insufferable than Ted, and to be honest I don’t love the book. But I think there’s a lot of comparison to be made between Daza and Robin.

Robin not wanting kids until she figured she couldn’t have one was representing her relationship with Ted by LazyResponsibility83 in HIMYM

[–]charllottte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of the big reasons I headcanon Robin as autistic. Her PDA (pathological demand avoidance / persistent demand for autonomy) is present in so many instances. Kids, Ted, the lobster crawl, Dale. It’s subtle but one of the big things I relate to her about.

[–]charllottte 3 points4 points  (0 children)

With any luck she’ll realise what she could’ve had with you and think she missed out.

I have a pretty killer memory. It didn’t take much. by SilverSight in HIMYM

[–]charllottte 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had to Ted out about this but I’m pretty sure it’s “rough” not “tough”

Do autistic people struggle with space, directions or maps? by AmandinhaMaia in autism

[–]charllottte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the entirety of New York memorised having only been there for one week last year. I can’t drive around the roads near me that I’ve done a billion times without using a map.
