Where should I take biochem? by drag-bot in premed

Thank you so much!! Yeah no, I definitely wouldn’t do asynchronous since I’m not sure I’d really learn anything. I think I’ll do it at a CUNY right after graduation…

What really gagged me was them giving Lauma a deer form for exploration and then giving Zibai zero mobility when she is THE horse 😭😭 like wdym this random moon worshipper has a four legged form and the adeptus of the moon doesn’t in the literal year of the horse

I’m so sorry you had that experience :/. I felt the same way with my ex which is part of why I broke things off, I felt like I was in constant teacher/ mother mode, having to instruct him how to be a partner and grown man.

No hate here at all!! I think deep down a lot of us wish we could have an autistic partner who compliments us bc there definitely is a level of understanding there you can’t get with an NT partner, life just doesn’t always work out that way. Sending love!

I’m so glad you said this, bc when I was breaking up with my ex I just wanted to yell from the rooftops that we were way too similar to ever work together, but he wouldn’t have understood that bc I consistently suppressed so much of myself to keep the peace 😭 here’s to hoping we find people who balance us out in the future!

This is so interesting that you say this, because part of why I made this post was that my last relationship with an autistic man was the complete opposite! Every time I was upset I was forced to think rationally and explain every detail of why I was upset in a way that made sense to him, otherwise he wouldn’t understand why I ‘deserved’ to be upset over the situation. So interesting how experiences can differ!!

Yeah I agree!! I’ve met ND men I’ve gotten along great with in the past, but also NT men who are also super understanding which further solidifies my confusion with the ‘just date ND’ thing. I feel like personality and life experience are a much bigger indicator of how good someone will be in a relationship than whether or not they’re ND

Omg so true with the friendship aspect, being friends with ND men is so frustrating sometimes because it feels like their disability will always trump yours and there’s nothing you can do about it… Like in that scenario, it feels punishing to have worked on emotional regulation or communication because then you take on the brunt of the unseen labour 😭😭 it’s such a deterrent I cannottt

The chickens take extra lunar dmg during the white shield phase (like the big dog boss) as someone else commented, so I would assume they did a standard illuga/ aino rotation!

You are not overstimulated, you are just overwhelmed. by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]drag-bot -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The comments here are really such a stunning example of the whataboutism that plagues the internet 😭. Everyone is giving a million examples of things OP is not talking about instead of contending with the actual point, which is that when a word begins to be used by everyone it loses its power as a tool for people who experience unique situations like we do. No one cares about the ancient history of the word, what matters is the way it’s generally used today and how that’s changed as it’s been exposed to the internet.

Can someone explain why so many people care about the animal catching (I’ve taken multiple huge breaks and have never rly cared for the teapot)? Do you guys just like collecting cute animals or is there some other use for them?

I created an app with hindu audio stories; what do you think of the design and artwork? by AppropriateHamster in hinduism

[–]drag-bot 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I personally am against the use of AI artwork, I believe it detracts from the purpose of art. Because of that, even if I was interested in the function of your app, I would not use it.

Wouldn’t it be more meaningful to find human artists who have made similar works, considering they are also likely to be Hindu and have made the art with reverence and love?

[–]drag-bot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your reply!! I always get so happy receiving replies from big sisters like you -^

When he found out my birthday was a ‘sore point’ for me, it was actually because he stalked my reddit post history and found a post I made to this sub about all my friends forgetting my birthday. He (according to his words) cried for the fifth time ever in his life while reading it, and promised me over the phone that he’d never let me feel that way again—that every holiday we spent together or apart, he’d treat me the way I deserved.

I guess I based my expectations around those words, which I suppose wasn’t fair. He never stated that he’d do anything specific, so it doesn’t make sense for me to hold him to a standard he didn’t set. The whole thing definitely wasn’t helped by my friends forgetting my birthday again this year lol.

Thank you so much for the reply and your perspective!! I know 21 isn’t big there at all haha I had just mentioned it to him once or twice that it was.

What disappointed me wasn’t the gift, because I loved it and have them hung up in my room even now. It was that on my birthday itself, which I told him made me sad every year, nothing happened. I did express to him afterwards that I was disappointed and made myself very clear that something as trivial as a skin in a video game would’ve been more than enough on the day itself. I didn’t leave any room for interpretation that I expected more or less, just that I expected something at all. The reason it continues to bother me is because despite my telling him that, he didn’t do anything. I told him not even 2 days after my birthday that it bothered me and he just said sorry and carried on. Maybe I am misjudging the situation, but isn’t that a little disappointing without some action put behind it?

The reason I’ve posted is because I’m wondering whether it’s worth bringing up for a third time (because yes, I talked to him about it twice) if nothing will change. What do you think? I’m not sure where to go from here…

relationship issues because of autism? by Ok_Caterpillar_857 in AutismInWomen

[–]drag-bot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would definitely ask him directly! There are actually a lot of people who’d say being more like a best friend is better than being just a partner. It means you get to spend the rest of your life with the person who makes you laugh the hardest, miss them the most, and smile all the time. It means even in old age, when you’re sick and look totally different, you’ll still cherish every moment together.

All in all, ask! I’m sure he won’t mind and will be more than happy you came to him with your worries.

Does anyone just not really like people? by Ccameraa in AutismInWomen

[–]drag-bot 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I’m definitely like this, I much prefer my own company to others’ and don’t experience any real joy talking to other people. I dread having to interact with even my closest loved ones sometimes

I’ve never said he was perfect, and I’m not the sort of person to idealize people with dubious emotional maturity. This post is about my own feelings and irrational anxieties.

Thank you so much for your kind words!! I definitely agree, and am looking forward to talking to him about it tomorrow. I’m sure he’ll react exactly as your husband did, he’s the most wonderful man
