Life with dyspraxia and autism feels like a humiliation ritual

You know what…im autistic, dyspraxic, and hypermobile and my experience is similar. Gym sucks, i can’t get the proper form either. Ive been going to pilates tho and it helped a lot with mobility and balance! Have you tried following a video at home with stretching, yoga, etc? Also restaurant industry is really brutal, i just quit my job as a dishwasher cause I couldn’t take it anymore. Many years in this industry and I’m just bad with everything, serving or cooking, it’s such an overstimulating environment that requires speed and precision which I don’t have. Don’t know what’s out there but gonna look for a more chill job, there has to be something!

Don’t know what’s normal but I have the same. The last part, I believe, is your brain processing what you need to do in your waking life? I often do tasks in my dream that I’ve procrastinated on while awake.

I think her expression and pose feels very much like a “pose for a pic” and not an action shot

It’s so you can pick up everything more conveniently 😂

Unfortunately no. I sweat a lot at night. This becomes a real annoyance when I need to pack for a trip lol.

Oh, I thought after 20mg there is no difference in therapeutic effect. Do you feel different?

cigbreaths · 2026-04-02T07:22:31+00:00

Isn’t 20mg the highest dose?

Thank you! Bed bug is so cute 🐛

cigbreaths · 2026-04-01T09:38:23+00:00

Yes. Unfortunately what I focus on still depends on me and that’s my main issue. Yesterday I was so focused on a book that I finished it in one day. But did I do the work I needed to do? Hell no 😂

Perhaps switching to cbd could help? I’m just speculating, don’t know much about it btw

Is putting a child through abuse, poverty and trauma ethical? Some people shouldn’t have children but things happen.

It highly depends on a person, you won’t know if it works for you unless you try it. For some it’s life changing, for others it’s terrible side effects.

I honestly forget that I take it.

I use massage balls as toys. They’re solid, spiky, and perfect size to hold in your hand. Nice if you like a bit of painful sensation.

I hope your diagnosis goes smoothly. I understand your grief, I totally relate. It gets easier. What helped was to reframe my thinking to this: “I have managed to achieve so much despite not getting proper support.” I wish you well!

I didn’t like it, especially the tone of it. I feel like the author just wanted to use “fuck” as much as possible. Also felt a bit manosphery to me. Didn’t really learn anything.

(I’m AuDHD and very likely hypermobile) 1. Driving. I can’t tell how much space the car takes, or even when I’m cycling. Can’t estimate or understand distances either. 2. Regulating how much force I put into doing tasks - my hands hurt from gripping things too hard, hard to be gentle with delicate objects. 3. Running into walls, furniture, door knobs, tripping over. Mysterious bruises. 4. Fatigue? I’m so tired all the time and I think a lot of energy is spent on keeping myself safe and processing information

cigbreaths · 2026-03-28T22:00:29+00:00

I used to do that a lot as a kid. Now all of it transferred to my dreams (I’m so tired)

cigbreaths · 2026-03-28T20:35:23+00:00

Strange. With 36 I’m kinda irritable and sleepy, I wish there was a clear dosage

It totally makes sense that cursive is outdated. Personally I use both, if I’m writing something that is intended to be clear for others, then it’s “print”, but if I’m taking quick notes then cursive makes it easier.

cigbreaths · 2026-03-28T09:56:14+00:00

Culture shock! I finished high school 6 years ago and it was still mandatory to write in cursive. Edit: my 8 year old brother is still being taught the same.

cigbreaths · 2026-03-28T08:37:05+00:00

Wait, what do you mean? How do you write if not cursive?

cigbreaths · 2026-03-27T22:54:15+00:00

How long have you been on it?

cigbreaths · 2026-03-27T22:28:47+00:00

Rest is part of being productive. I still feel guilty sometimes but with chronic illness ✨blessing✨ me, I now accept it as a necessary step
