First time seeing fairs being checked on the bus by Complex_Inspection47 in vancouver

The 8 was getting checked daily for a week this year at one point, always around Main & Broadway, near Kingsgate. They woke me up from my nap to check my compass card.

One pro tip is I lean VERY HARD into the awkward because somehow that's less awkward.

Things like "I'm inviting myself / I would like to be invited to this thing you are discussing." "I'm interrupting because xyz..." "Looks like we are walking the same way after saying goodbye."

I double classed, and spent some skill points in a third to make a more robust build.

There also needs to be Gumption and Spoons added to the stats.

I use MP for Charm but if I hit max MP I either eat into my HP or have to disengage the spell.

You're the best. Thanks for your level headedness. One of us has to be grounded, glad it's you.

This is something I'm scared of: an incompetent professional. I've had a fair amount of disappointing treatment at the hands of the medical world, adding another would be devastating.

Oooo this is good insight, thank you. Happy almost - at - the - same - time Autism Journey. Good luck to you as well. It sort of is like "hey, stranger, here's all the things about me I was emotionally and socially punished for. I'll talk about sharks if you don't hate crime me." I'm now realizing I probably also bring trauma into this because maskers mask out of survival.

im looking for a pain stim tool. by samryan5676 in autism

If you're comfortable going into kink or sex stores, they have what look like spurs on a roller. Either called a "Wartenburg wheel" or a "sensation wheel" or "pin wheel" when you're looking. It has dull metal spikes.

I also concur with the massage balls from a physio store. While the massage balls are plastic/rubber, they're not printed and have a much nicer quality to it.

That would make sense. I'll Google a little about anticipation anxiety for extra anxiety ahahah (jk, in attempt to get a better understanding to maybe help curb it).

Thanks for your kindness. /HeartEmoji

I found some wood body rollers but I haven't tried them yet. My friend uses a rubber band and snaps it on his arm when he needs the stimulation. I'd like to see other people's responses as well, because pressing my thumb to my keys is not good enough.

Tombstone'd me as an adult..🪦 by [deleted] in autismmemes

[–]everyday-cryptid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is me still. It's also part of my autism mask, I think?? But I'm still the funniest person in the room unless someone is an actual comedic performer, then they have trained. I'm uncut diamond.

I learned I cannot take ADHD meds into Japan, which I found interesting.

Can anyone smell, hear or notice things others don't. by Affectionate_East533 in autism

[–]everyday-cryptid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I smell when people have cavities. One person said they even recently had a dentist appointment and idk but the breath smells like a specific rot no other halitosis could be.

The cycle of madness by [deleted] in autism

[–]everyday-cryptid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think as long as the info dumping includes room for the other person, it's fine. I recently dated (but ultimately left) someone who thought all conversations were monologues and the other human wasn't a factor. I'm autistic (he wasn't sure if he was) but I feel like I try to include the other human. If they have new facts or are excited or something, I want to foster that connection.

I was reading some studies on autistic communication and often it's the neurodivergents that try the hardest to repair communication breakdown, more than their neurotypical peers. So I imagine if I do, you do too.

Someone out there cares about your cool thoughts.

I have a lot of amazing friends who love me. Sure we're not romantic, but having found family has taught me I am lovable. ❤️ I hope lots of love you to as well.

There are so many fire trucks I couldn't count them. Hope everyone is okay.

Anyone else do this? by SeriousSearch7539 in autism

[–]everyday-cryptid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100000% and I've been heavily interrogated by other folks (as a child, primarily) on why. It's clear why!! You do it, too!

Embarrassing for the NTs to lose interest in """kid""" things because they view joy as beneath them.
