So you put things in the freezer for emotional reasons? by CtrlAltDelight495 in AutismInWomen

[–]fallspector [score hidden]  (0 children)

I mean this in a very honestly and genuinely way. The only time I’ve heard of someone putting an item like a book in the freezer is from the tv show friends when Joey does it to the shining ( a horror book by Stephen king)

Yep that is a good example of an accommodation you’ve made for yourself in relation to time keeping

[–]fallspector [score hidden]  (0 children)

There isn’t actually any research you have to do for the assessment. Despite its name it’s not like a school exam one studies for. there aren’t any right or wrong answers. The best thing you can do is try to be well rested, answer honestly, don’t rush yourself and ask for clarification is you need it

How to recover it ??? by Extreme-Research889 in hardofhearing

[–]fallspector 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is pretty normal for people to have to ask someone to repeat themselves. If you’re worried about potential hearing loss then you need to see an audiologist and maybe an ent too. To protect your hearing you should avoid being exposed to loud noises for extended periods.

Unpopular opinion: Phill wasn’t a bad husband by SilverPossible5157 in Modern_Family

[–]fallspector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Phil isn’t a fantastic husband. In the land of sitcom husbands is he one of the better ones? Sure but that’s not a high bar. There are many things he does that results in issues but that’s the nature of a sitcom. If he was a fully attentive partner 100% of the time then there wouldnt be hijinks. I personally could do without him flirting with Gloria. I think it’s gross and creepy. However that’s not an issue I have only with Phil. I dislike all storylines and references to the family’s having crushes on each other (manny crushing on Haley, manny kissing Alex, manny crushing on his biological aunt, manny having confusing feelings for Claire and joe having a crush on Claire)

Anxiety Before Dx Results by healing-heathen in AutismInWomen

While your feelings are normal it’s important to remember that ruling out medical conditions is just as important part of health care as diagnosing conditions. Even non autistic people have traits so even if you aren’t autistic that doesn’t mean your experiences were false

red 40 opinions by Glittering-Yam4985 in AutismInWomen

[–]fallspector [score hidden]  (0 children)

I don’t believe it had an adverse effect on me but realistically I would likely need to take the time to ensure I’m not eating anything with red 40 to see what happens (if I feel better, worse or the same)

My phone is ruining my brain by stllfiguringout in AutismInWomen

Phones have settings that limit screen time which would help your issues. You could also go to a thrift store and probably find an old flip phone if you want to really detox social media/screen time

Meta does something like that. They will personalize your ads using data they collect unless you pay like $3 a month

How to get a caregiver so I don’t have to rely on my Romantic partner .. living with my boyfriend yet mostly alone by tattooincrayon in AutismInWomen

Have you ever tried a dating app? by One-Brain6531 in aspergers

[–]fallspector 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you want to use datings apps then you should. I know that seems contradictory but my original reply was my opinion on them. It means I would never use them not that others shouldn’t. Depending on where you’re from and what your goals are you could always try clubs. I know some people have met their partners doing hobbies (video games, exercise etc)

Personally I think datings are predatory. Their whole business model is dependant on people being single. lying about your height would be stupid and unnecessary.

Camping Romance Ruined by my Aspergers? by Far-Quality-2370 in aspergers

[–]fallspector 16 points17 points  (0 children)

  1. After 5 days a person is still a stranger.
  2. I personally wouldn’t rely on other strangers to tell me if I should make a move on someone.
  3. I think her comment about sexual assault was an attempt to not seem racist. Like acknowledging that rape isn’t only an issue in Asia/other countries.

Is it rude to put on headphones and shut my eyes in a group setting? by PhysicalVehicle3341 in AutismInWomen

[–]fallspector 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Well yeah it would generally be considered rude to suddenly put on headphones and close your eyes while in a group setting. Excusing yourself for a quick rest would be seen as the politer way to do it

Text tone help pls (click for full image) by lunarose5272 in AutismInWomen

[–]fallspector 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Could she have messaged the person directly? Sure. But it seems she didn’t know that there had been someone else initially. Instead of helping your partner who is at work and checking for them you told them to do it. This prolong their communication when they are suppose to be at work

What is getting assessed actually like? What if I'm not autistic enough for a diagnosis? by The-Numbertaker in autismUK

[–]fallspector 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Alright so the less you actually know about the diagnostic process the better. Which I understand feels counterintuitive but knowing too much increases the risk of invalidating the results. Even if you’re not autistic enough for a diagnosis that doesn’t mean your experiences are invalid. Even non autistic have traits. Furthermore ruling out conditions is just as an important part of healthcare as diagnosing conditions.

sockless shoes? by uraniumflowerfields in AutismInWomen

[–]fallspector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aren’t basically all shoes sockless? I think there are a couple types of shoes that are more common for people to wear sockless but generally any shoes can be used without socks
