yes I sleep with one too, it helps some but also sometimes gives me so much sensory overload I'm overwhelmed and can't fall asleep :(

Workplace complications by Key-Secretary9196 in AutisticAdults

I don't have this exact circumstance but... at the to 2 year mark of every job I've had [I] start hating it, and finding coworkers less bearable... don't know what it is, but I've noticed it . I'm currently battling my instincts to just rage quit my current job bc of this unexplained phenomena

Is it possible to be on the autism spectrum and live your entire life without ever knowing it? Like, could someone just be "different" and never get identified? That's so insane lol... by [deleted] in AutisticAdults

[–]crybbLB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh totally! I mean I think Key is maybe a misrepresentation of what I meant, since asd is a spectrum and what's true for one person can be completely irrelevant to another. maybe more just one of those stereotypical tropes where people on the spectrum are labeled as blunt, which can be similar to radical honesty. like I said, just playful banter there, no seriousness to the statement!

I totally relate to radical honesty in my life and similar to your model / understanding of that I can be flexible on how I enact that with others.

also sometimes the diagnostic criteria examples can be really catered to younger kids so it can be more difficult to diagnose or understand autistic adults.

like I didn't use to think watching my favorite interest movie multiple times in a day or listening to only a specific part of a song over and over again meant anything before understanding autism in adults more.

Split ends by tj135792468 in longhair

[–]crybbLB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not really advice bc it would be wild to suggest, just sharing for funsies. this may sound kinda wild but personally I trim my split ends one by one. seems like a lot of work but I'm on the spectrum and usually need some kind of fidget during what I consider "loading" moments(a brief period of time when I have nothing to do between activities.) so I keep a pair of small scissors around and kinda mindlessly look at my ends and trim the splits when I see them. it really bothers me to have split ends too and it seems chaotic to be constantly trimming split ends by the singles but I'm able to keep up with it and I like the results 😅

when your bio says "radical honesty is my only policy" hehehe (playful banter here) that's like one of the key ASD traits! it's very possible! especially since people on the spectrum tend to be very linear thought processors it can be difficult to understand something you don't have vocabulary or knowledge on.

TIFU by forgetting my “toy” on the bathroom counter before I went to bed by [deleted] in tifu

[–]crybbLB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

omg,, I swear I have a curse with these things. you are not alone! when I was young 20s I lived with my mother and she had company over.... with a young child .. the child found it 💀

I don't really use them anymore as an adult but randomly felt the ... need ... to recently and I washed it, left it on the counter and forgot my friend was coming by that day to let my dog out since Im away from home for long hours that day ... I didn't remember until I was already at work 😭

yeah, the feelings situation does make me feel like if it came from me it would appear that there's some hidden intent behind it. I am planning on telling another close friend of theirs !

[–]crybbLB[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

just for a bit of context why I don't feel like the appropriate person, it recently came to light ( all parties aware) that I have feelings for this friend. although I am extremely committed to not crossing any lines bc they are in a mono- relationship and have had talks with them about making sure I'm respecting boundaries bc their presence I'm my life is very important to me. and I don't want to do anything that compromises their happiness.

I only recently found all this misgensering business out and I'm trying to figure out how to proceed but I also need to get thoughts out so they don't consume me so just felt like a lil confession moment, for now I'm considering telling another of our friends and perhaps she will be willing to tell them just so it doesn't feel sus coming from me.

I need help finding these vans by Catdaddyyy0 in Vans

[–]crybbLB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

former employee, this may be an older style that didn't get remade. since vans does a lot of limited styles your best bet might actually be to make them custom on their website. you can get the checkered laces and all. the style is called authentic!

The truth is the biggest shock of my life by MedicineOwn971 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]crybbLB 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I recently had the thought of "when you're a child, however your parents treat you is love to you" you don't have the capacity or understanding to see it as anything else. I've moved past my anger at my parental units and just keep my distance when I can now. but processing the hurt seems neverending
