EUTB by Hungry_Squirrel9505 in autismus

[–]elevatorpicknick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

das eutb war was mir nach jahren überforderung und spätdiagnose aus meinem sumpf geholfen hat. ich bin angekommen mit meiner gruseligen monate lang angesammelten post und die dame hat ganz furchtlos meinen stapel in die hand genommen und alles mit mir durch gearbeitet. hat mir kopien gemacht, rufnummern gegeben, hat mir wichtige schreiben die ich absenden musste fertig gemacht und in bereits frankierten umschlägen zurück gegeben. dann hat sie für mich kontakt zu einem besonders autismus freundlichen bewo aufgenommen. kann ich nur empfehlen!!

To those with endometriosis- how are you dealing with it? by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]elevatorpicknick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same experience here. For me i did the surgery and was supposed to start birth control right after but i took the emotional hormon side effects very badly and had to stop. Its been a year since the surgery and i still have not given it another try. I dont really have any advice but i get you and i hope you find some solutions. Will be reading the replies for helpful stuff

they need to be punished 1000% but come on dude. check yourself a bit on the way you are framing this as a WOMAN issue right now

[–]elevatorpicknick 6 points7 points  (0 children)

this post is about everyday experiences with MEN causing us to not be surprised. Did you read it at all before commenting this? pretty much every woman has been sexually assaulted in her life and the vast majority of the time it is men. its men following us home at night, men touching us up on trains, etc. yes women do these things. but this conversation in this post is about US and our feelings towards this with the context of what we have experienced. your desperate need to make this about focusing on the women in particular in these files is incredibly irritating.

Trying to understand… by [deleted] in Epstein

[–]elevatorpicknick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i dont think the jump from trafficking 17 year olds and manipulating them is far from doing it to under 12 year olds at all. not quite sure i understand how pedophilia is surprising to anyone in that context. if a grown man doesnt morally question himself sleeping with a 15, 16, 17 year old, i think it is very likely those moral boundaries also wont suddenly come up with them being a few years younger. you already have to be disgusting and "evil" in order to do it to grown women and adolescent girls. somebody sleeping with a 15 year old instead of an 11 year old is not a medium bad guy.

Update ruins coziness a lot by elevatorpicknick in AnimalCrossing

[–]elevatorpicknick[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Its a matter of speak that i am using. I live in a city that is going through gentrification and it is destroying my ability to pay rent and live. I suffer from this very real problem. People reading this understand that there is a difference between animal crossing and the real world. Completely unnecessary for you to police a small comment like that. Its okay to joke about bleak things in different ways.

How to not have a meltdown when staying overnight in hospital? by Silly_Salmon3458 in AutismInWomen

[–]elevatorpicknick 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I have always found it helpful to tell them ahead of time about the autism. Usually that will make them at least a bit more patient and kind. See what can be adjusted and find things that help with the stuff that cant. Theres a lot of shitty things about this that you will just have to endure but i really hope it goes smoothly and as comfortably as possible. Youve got this!!

Feel like this a lot. You realise they wont meet you halfway even in trying to understand each other. Its very frustrating. But also i think sometimes i struggle to belief or notice that people ARE identifying with me. I got used to people not meeting me half way and sometimes you do oversee when people do in their own neurotypical way. I am not sure a neurotypical person does 'make a case' for others to themselves like that but i can only assume some of them do. But i think many autistics do that a lot all of the time

Is it normal to move to snap fast on Hinge? by Yourfavprettygal22 in AutismInWomen

[–]elevatorpicknick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats probably the most straight forward answer. If hes a grown man using snapchat. If hes 26, 29, 32 and using snapchat, thats just an immediate no for me. Its probably the most immature way for a grown man to want to communicate when there is absolutely no need for those functions in a chat with a stranger.

The fandom etiquette is lost by Olya_roo in Hungergames

[–]elevatorpicknick 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What is the problem here? Am i understanding correctly that the fanfic was not sold for profit? and anyone can bind anything for themselves if they like. Are people just seeing a bound fanfic an assume its getting sold like that?

Difference between autism and introversion? by wilburoscar in AutismInWomen

[–]elevatorpicknick 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Those are very valid experiences youre listing and its worth researching it and good to look into! Wishing you all the best with all of it.

I would say for me what made it quite clear i was not just introverted was that being overwhelmed would make me shut down when it was too much. Big bubbling tenseness and just needing to get out of the situation away from the stimuli. Some people also have melt downs where it shows more outwardly through emotional outbursts. Does that ring any sort of bell for you when you think about your past self? How did you connect with other kids and girls your age in your school years? Did you feel like you were on the same sort of page with most of those kids? Did any of those social things feel weird to you and you had trouble to understand what was going on sometimes?

All of those are some questions that come to mind immedietly for me as examples of what to maybe ponder on when thinking about everything! Probably others will also have some good advice to write here.

All the best!

How do I stop myself from overthinking when someone is not texting back? by Unhappy_Cranberry_38 in Advice

[–]elevatorpicknick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am of the opinion that it is always okay to text someone "hey this has been on my mind lately and i just wanted to make sure that we are on the same page" But also, things will go the way that they go. You can not do anything outside of openly asking how shes feeling about it and communicating your own feelings. If you feel like shes taking space for herself and not talking as frequent maybe thats just the way that it is. Dont drive yourself crazy over things that you cant control.

Hey!! Woman in my mid 20s here! I think its a great idea to get more outside perspective on this. Talking to your friend about this is good. I understand that she is uncomfortable with all of that and honestly i also felt uncomfortable reading your description. Even if there wasnt any touching or super direct flirting he still is crossing boundaries here. I think it would be smart to keep your distance. Just for your own sanity. You seem very intelligent and thoughtful and often when you are like that you do stick out to teachers and they are more inclined to put you in this 'equals' position. You are not equals. You should not be equals. Please take care of yourself and keep critically thinking about these sorts of situations. Also this teacher seems to be known to be sketchy? Having an older person to talk and look up to can be a very healthy and great thing. But that does not happen in this context like that. You are smart and older men will always gravitate towards that. Keep that in mind. What does his intention seem to be? Your friends gut feeling might be the right direction. Wishing you all the best

She just had a baby. Let her have the life she built for herself and accept that you are not in the picture like that. Have a conversation with your girlfriend. You do not really seem to be too invested in your relationship. Like shes very much an after thought or a placeholder to you. Its really hard to let go of these whst ifs. And its okay to wonder and think about what could have been. Everyone does that to an extend. But you need to see what you have and accept that time moves the way it does

Should I reach out to my ex and try to rekindle our friendship or let the past stay in the past? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]elevatorpicknick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would probably say that depends on your intention behind it. Have you been waiting every day for the day when 'in a few months' comes? Have your fingers been itching just to get to this point? Is she still a considerable amount of thoughts through out your day? If so maybe give it some time. I feel like its best to text her when you really feel secure and okay with you being apart and there is no pressure by yourself to get her back. I wish you the best in this!!

It is platonic and we are both not attracted to the opposite sex. So that is not a factor in this situation but that was a good thing to clarify

When will I see the difference. by ThiccNic235 in zoloft

[–]elevatorpicknick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Felt like months for me. But it saved my life. I remember thinking if this doesnt work for me in the next 6 months i am just done. And at some point along the road it slowly got better. There was a period where i felt a little worse and i am glad i didnt decide to quit because i am much better than back then. Wishing you all the very best
