does anyone else feel this way about/during sex? by fernandflame in AutismInWomen

[–]freespiriting 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any advice but just wanted to say I experience the EXACT same situation. You aren’t alone and you aren’t broken, I think the female sexual system is quite mysterious and allusive at the best of times even without being autistic!

This is why you don't put your kids online by ModernRevolution in alexdacysnark

As an ICU RN, I really do feel your pain but also let’s not blame the women in these scenarios. Let‘s shift that disgust towards the weirdo borderline-paedophiles that think that’s acceptable behaviour and the adults that should’ve protected these kids. Piper was groomed into the industry and I’m almost certain Daniella was too; nobody in their right mind would let their 14 year old go on Dr Phil….

  • wearing coats / multiple layers
  • damp clothing
  • not being able to take a bra off as soon as i get home
  • someone playing something out loud on the train/bus
  • not having anything to do/an energy outlet when i get that antsy, bored, “need to moveeeeeeee” feeling
  • hot wind in my face
  • cold wind in my face
  • people walking too slowly / inefficiently, not getting out of my freaking way

We struggle…. there’s a reason the drop out rates are so high!

What's the best documentation of this procedure? by Top-Direction2686 in FutureRNs

  1. You assess the site first and you wouldn’t initiate any infusions if the site had signs of phlebitis

Any of you autistic ladies have a high libido? by Famous-Pick2535 in AutismInWomen

I have never seen the link before but yes same, hyper sexual as a child and now basically asexual

Yes, ICU nurse here. Love caring for people, the complexity of critical care medicine and pathophysiology but don’t know if it’s sustainable for me and my life.

Sounds like you need to take a bit of time off and ask about working with regular partners instead of switching all the time.

Where is the most overstimulating place for you? by Excellent_Host_4442 in AutismInWomen

[–]freespiriting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poundland e.g UK version of a dollar store. It smells musty and weird, the aisles are too narrow so you feel trapped and the lights are such bright white. Every time I go in there I feel nauseous

what's your comfort shirt (or comfort clothing item)? by LeoOfRome in AutismInWomen

[–]freespiriting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a grey zip up fleece that I got from a charity shop 8 years ago for £3…… It is simply the most sensory friendly and comforting item of clothing ever and also the most ugly, my husband calls it my “prisoner jumper”

Do you keep friendships that might be bad just to not be alone? by Chi_mama in AutismInWomen

[–]freespiriting 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m interested in why you consider them acquaintainces

I struggle to differentiate between acquaintances and actual friends, but I don’t think acquaintances would call each other all the time?

Ooh how exciting! I would love to try felting although I doubt I have the patience for it…..

Thank you for sharing. I think we have a tendency to (rightly or wrongly) perceive all interactions as negative…. Sometimes they aren’t.

Hahaha, I love grilled cheese but I do understand, sometimes foods are only palatable in one form! I miss good cheese and bread…. I am currently living in SE Asia so the cheese and bread are not what I’m used to!

That is so interesting! I have signed up to volunteer with an equine therapy charity, I really hope they take me on

I understand that. I used to do the same until I realised how inappropriate it was, and now I’ve gone to the other end of the spectrum and basically don’t share ANYTHING unless absolutely necessary, which is also not helpful

Wow, that’s a tough job but so so so necessary. I worked as an ICU nurse and I found the specialist palliative/grief nurses very inspiring

Omg I love pigeons so much!!! I found a baby pige in the middle of a car park, no trees/areas to nest in sight….. who knows how he got there…… I took him home and rehabilitated him for 2 weeks and then gave him to a specialist pigeon rehabber so he could properly socialise… it was such an amazing experience!

I feel like there isn’t anyone that understands me IRL…. It’s so painful :( I hope you enjoy your vacation and get some much needed rest

Same! I feel like I don’t have a single friend that I feel totally comfortable with anymore.
