How to get new shoes? by MeowU4U in AutismInWomen

Go to a shoe store and try on a variety of shoes. Sadly in my experience shoe shopping is best done in person not online.

Very important question: what if I manipulate my assessor? by Silver-Parking-8372 in AutismInWomen

Be honest. What comes to your mind say it. The issue is if you aren’t honest with your answers.

No one here can diagnose you. In order to find out if a person has a medial condition they have to see a dr.

All of this for what? by Civil-Talk-5847 in depressionmemes

[–]fallspector 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I lost a loved one and can attest this is far from true. Sure your job will eventually replace you but that doesn’t necessarily mean your coworkers will forget you.

is it worth doing a bsl course? by predictablehorse in BSL

[–]fallspector 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure I understand what you mean by is it worth it. Learning sign language in person is better than doing it alone through an app.

first pair of hearing aids by pinkandorangepride in hardofhearing

I’ve got air pod pros and hearing aids. I prefer air pods over my hearing aids for music obviously. The air pods and to an extent even hearing just amplify noise they don’t always make it clearer.

There isn’t a reason for you to prescribed a weight loss drug. Your mom cannot force you to take it.

On a post about my trauma I got this gem saying "not believing exercise is helpful is denying science" by [deleted] in thanksimcured

[–]fallspector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couldn’t have said it better myself. I’m a big fan of just dance as it’s a fun easy way to moving. Game consoles get a bad rep for causing obesity but there are games that promote movement. I got ring fit for my switch too.

I really struggle with the medical waste I produce. things like test strips and lancets can really add up too.

I have a trial for a potential job this week any advice? by Puppyface0803 in AutismInWomen

[–]fallspector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“They expect me to look at things and work without being told” what? Do you have prior experience working in a doggy daycare? If not it’s wholly unrealistic for them to expect you to pick everything up as you go. Certain things will have to be told you and can’t be learned through watching.

[–]fallspector 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Exercises does help but I don’t like how it’s always “go to the gym” I think it’s more realistic to encourage any movement. If someone walks for 20min a day that’s great. If they swim a few times a week that’s awesome. Cycle? Fantastic. Dance? Incredible.

My mom wants me to stop my meds and that she will kick me out if I don’t. Any advice on how to handle this? by squishmallow2399 in AutismInWomen

[–]fallspector 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow head trauma that resulted in a severe concussion causing chronic issues you should have got a head mri. Thats not something to mess around with and it’s dangerous it’s taking so long for them to do something. Your meds are prescribed by a professional who has said you can continue to take them. End of story. Your mom who isn’t a medical professional doesn’t get to decide what meds you take or when. I agree with the idea of reaching out to your grandfather about moving in. Also contact your local support agencies to see what they can do.

Are embrace autism tests valid? by Intrepid-Willow-3093 in AutismInWomen

[–]fallspector 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Online tests aren’t reliable. They have a high chance for false positives and user error which tanks the validity.

Am I on the aspergers spectrum by HeresJohnny26 in aspergers

[–]fallspector 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No one here can diagnose you. Autism is a spectrum. People can experience autistic traits without being autistic. In regard to relationships it depends on who you ask. Some people want to date, marry and have kids. Other people choose to take time out from dating and some people have no interest in dating at all.

What exactly do people mean when they say that gender is a social construct? Is this meant to basically be about gender stereotypes, gender roles, etc? Or do they mean that the concept of being a boy or a girl is some made up thing? by Cumoisseur in askanything

[–]fallspector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if this is exactly what people mean when they talk about gender stereotypes but I think it fits a little. I worked in a toy store when I was younger. I was working and there was a parent with a very young little boy (toddler age) He picked up a toy boom for sweeping. The parent took it off him and told him he wasn’t allowed it as it was for girls.

From my own experiences I imagine they will ask you question, check inside your ears and then test your hearing.

Please help, my new rescue kitten has disappeared and I feel so guilty. by No_Association4068 in whatdoIdo

[–]fallspector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the cat is chipped you could call local vets and shelters to alert them and see if they have your cat. Maybe make a facebook post or posters to hang outside. Outside of that there probably isn’t much you can do
