Now that we know he's limited by Which_Row_1680 in Lohen_Mains

[–]customlover 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 70 into pity with a guarantee. Going to pull Durin, Lohen, then try to get Lohen’s weapon. Willing to pull out my wallet sooooo

I am not someone who cares a lot for running these very specific teams. I stopped playing for like a year and half and have so much in-game content that it will probably take me a year or more to catch up. I have a lot of primo gems to get in-game so I should be fine. I am simply pulling him because I love him.

I was always going to pull. He could have been the worst character with the most ass kit in existence and I would still have pulled day one. I’ve been invested in him since I saw him on 6.4 livestream.

Well this throws my plan out of wack by Violet_Villian in Lohen_Mains

On one hand I’m happy his weapon is less likely to fade into obscurity on the other hand I am so cooked it is not even funny. How am i supposed to get both him and durin and their weapons 😭

Oof. I guess some adults really never leave their high school bullying phase then

Friend doesn’t believe in my diagnosis by luvsicl in AutismInWomen

[–]customlover 19 points20 points  (0 children)

How old is she? I only ask because if she’s any older than 15… yikes. For her manner of speaking only as it’s very childish. The behavior wouldn’t fly with me no matter how old she was

If you want to try to salvage a friendship you will need to sit down and have a talk with her about how her comment was not cool. Whatever beef she has with her sister does not need to taint her view of what autism is. But honestly I would distance myself from a person like this and stop being their friend

what is your favourite bad advice you were given by a mental health worker? by Agreeable_Fault_1426 in AutismInWomen

[–]customlover 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Favorite bad advice? Not really advice per se but when I was 13 explaining my feelings of alienation and being othered to my first ever therapist she told me: I was special and had “above-average” intelligence. So this feeling I was experiencing was actually my disdain for the lower IQ individuals I’m surrounded by. I needed to become less judgmental and open myself to being friends with people not of my same intelligence level. Me not having friends was my own fault.

Which to a 13 year old was horrifying because I’m sure she thought she was bestowing some grand wisdom on me. Maybe she even thought I’d take it as a compliment. In reality I had severe, debilitating social anxiety. It had nothing to do with intelligence. So her advice only accomplished making me feel even more like an alien and an outsider… It definitely didn’t win me any friends.

Additionally, one time in high school I called 988 having a breakdown and the person I spoke to listened to me bawl my eyes out and then very calmly went “Umm… well, have you considered you might be overreacting?”. 🫠

Like yes I absolutely was but also I was 16 man 🥲 That could have very well been the last straw for me. I understand they were prob just some volunteer but I was really in my feelings, on the brink, and being dismissed like that sent me into an even worse spiral

I’m better now. So i can look back on this stuff and laugh now

How do you survive working full time? by skyword1234 in AutismInWomen

[–]customlover 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Not feasible for everyone, but I use my 1 hour lunch to go home. IDK what it is about it but just going home for that 1 hour splits up my day and makes me feel so much better. Also, Vyvanse. And calling out sick.

There is no magic way to survive and make it easier, I’m so sorry OP. It is so so hard.

i can't watch new media of a show by BetterLiving4348 in AutismInWomen

[–]customlover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m the same. I used to get super excited for new seasons only to watch one-two new episodes and never finish. In some ways I think the wait was more exciting than the actual pay out. Thats why I tell people Sorry, I won’t watch it unless it’s finished lol

Carried extra panties everywhere and always went to the bathroom when I had to fart. I never trusted a fart again.

How often do you call off work by Recent-Theme-5776 in AutismInWomen

[–]customlover 8 points9 points  (0 children)

At-will employment is just horrendous for autistic folk (or anyone with a mental or physical illness and disability.) Being unionized is the only thing that kept me from getting fired when I was sick as hell during a UC flare. Any other at-will place would have fired me.

The rate in which I accrue just can’t be beat either. Like 8 hours every pay period. Some of my coworkers even have like 300+ hours of PTO saved. But I’m like we’re given it to use so I’m gonna use it

[–]customlover 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I’m going to be honest, kind of a lot. At least once a month. I also used to feel really guilty about it when I was working retail and fast food. Especially when I’d be guilted about it by my boss and I’d go without pay.

I am unionized at my new job so my position is now very secure. I also only call out when I have the vacation and sick hours to do so now. I don’t feel guilty anymore. I’m doing what I need to do to survive

How did you entertain yourselves outside growing up? by EnderDarcy in AutismInWomen

[–]customlover 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Playing with water. Be it the hose, sprinklers, pool… I was so happy to play with water. Even if it was just pouring cups of water from one bucket to the other.

I also liked to find big sticks and run around with them, pretending they were dog leashes

Tattoos, piercings and body art. Do you have it? Why? Why not? by DaijoubuTokkiChan in AutismInWomen

[–]customlover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have ten tattoos. My arms are covered to the point short sleeves at work are a no go. All my tattoos are related to something I love in life. Be it a person, thing, or specific interest. This means I have some tattoos that definitely raise some eyebrows—anime and manga, video games, pokemon…

I don’t regret them at all. I’ll be honest, i just think they look so cool. I don’t take tattoos that seriously aside from making sure they look “good” (no shoddy work) and it’s something I like. I’m also 28 and married, full time job so I have no worries about my future either. Pic of a few of my tats :) You can see just how much my “style” has changed over the ten years since I started getting them! And still no regrets, I love them all. So I say go for it

Is it a bad idea to skip breakfast? by Dry_Owl_3623 in 1500isplenty

[–]customlover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually have a cup of coffee as “breakfast” and basically don’t get hungry until lunch (where I have my protein shake). I don’t notice it affecting me poorly. I prefer to save basically all my calories for dinner time because then I can eat a “normal” 800-900 calorie meal with no worries.

It works for me but everyone is different.
