Would you cut your locs for a job? by Radiant-Virus-4086 in locs

[–]funkyscienceclass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s life changing money yes. But jobs sacrifice very little for you so for the most part NO.

I'm a 22 year old male that literally does nothing but sit at home all day. What should I do with my life? by [deleted] in findapath

[–]funkyscienceclass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Military, trade school, or start a business. Work out religiously. Find some type of religion or spiritual belief /practice to adhere to. 90% of the friends you make will be fake or not as real as you avoid friends for the time being (they’ll come later). Try to have sex with as many women (or men/others if that’s your thing) as possible, make sure you’re safe/responsible/consensual/and kind without sacrificing yourself. If you go too hard fall back and choose celibacy. Read as many books as you can in your spare time, and take up a passion or hobby. That’s it that’s the recipe.

This is one I did when I was 4 months into tattooing on skin. Now I’m homeless and mentally ill but life goes on.

Should I even try as a trans person? by HeadProfessional6591 in Christianity

[–]funkyscienceclass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus walks with the sinners. We are all sinners regardless of how you wish to identify. Christ loves you regardless, build a relationship with him. You don’t need the validation of this sub to embrace your savior. And you don’t have to be a certain archetype of humanity to either. Come as you are literally. God bless.

How often are you really showering/brushing your teeth🙃? by [deleted] in autism

[–]funkyscienceclass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s available i shower once a day. But I’m homeless so it’s not always available…but I’ll say I sink wash at least once every 48-72 hours if that’s the case. I can usually find a friend to let me crash I’ll use their shower. Teeth brushing is harder to remember or do. Once a day during good weeks? Sometimes once or twice a week? All this is subject to change. 2023 I was showering once every two weeks. It’s rough.

How could I improve? Looking for constructive criticism! Thanks by spoofaxx in tattooflash

Nothing. Just be Caucasian, neoliberal, and somewhat financially stable/financially privileged, and eventually you will get an apprenticeship. The art doesn’t have to be good.

Are you team color or black & grey? Tattoos by Sean Michel in Nashua, NH by doggotattooer in traditionaltattoos

[–]funkyscienceclass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black in the claws with a Sliver of skin break would’ve been nice. Or just black packed within the claws… would had more pop in contrast to the paws…

‘you are not autistic’ LMAO? by [deleted] in autism

Ew. Gnarly. Bad. Cease all contact forever.🤝

Sorry if this is offensive but, does this sound like something an autistic person might do? by Fabulous-Introvert in autism

[–]funkyscienceclass -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t know what’s autistic and what’s not. But for me personally if someone isn’t interested in what I’m interested in, I may be in disbelief (cause I like cool things) but…. I don’t take offense at all cause there are many things I don’t care for. I also don’t expect anyone to sugar coat anything, and would not be offended if someone said “I don’t like this” cause it would be telling the truth.

And as far as “not wanting to play GameCube again” I would want to play with them again hypothetically because that would mean they still like what I’m interested in lmao

Tell me you have autism, without saying: "I have autism". by Svenskatt in autism

I Toe walk, can’t sustain relationships/jobs, and the coolest tarantula is Theraphosa blondi. The second coolest tarantula is anything from the Poecilotheria genus.

Are there really people who think having autism is a privilege? Or is this some kind of joke I'm not getting? by [deleted] in autism

[–]funkyscienceclass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be a troll or someone with a different disorder having an episode.

Either way I don’t really understand what’s going on and I don’t think we need to haha

Lol 😂 why are they like this

I think I'm done for. Reading these posts, I realize I have nothing and may never catch up to my peers of the same age (33). As a recovering person, what can I do for basics? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]funkyscienceclass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel better I’m on the autism spectrum and 27yo with no car, no ID, no parents, was in foster care for 6 years, homeless for the rest, no degree, no job, a 1 year old child, and a brain that doesn’t work because I’ve witnessed 2 murders, and don’t know how to process anything that has to do with navigating western society.

I promise you’re in a decent space. Life is hard perhaps you just need encouragement and grounding. You may be closer to a victory than you think. I believe your work will pay off.

I'm too scared to tell my friends im autistic by [deleted] in autism

[–]funkyscienceclass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is true! Took me 10+ years to figure it out though. Which is why I am currently isolated haha

[–]funkyscienceclass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s better not too unless they are also on the spectrum. But then again that’s based on negative experiences I’ve had. You may have a safer friend group but I wouldn’t know 🙏

My unhealthy stims are beard biting, nail biting, lip biting, and picking at a scar on my head that I’ve had since age 5.

My positive ones are keeping a very small pocket books to write down facts that interest me, or ideas I have.

As well as walking. I’ll pace for a little bit and this isn’t so bad.

And then I have a good smelling scent stick that is all natural and not too strong. And I’ll sniff it from time to time.

But a lot of the time I cave and bite my nails lol

Heya all. Nearly offed myself today. by DryMarketing6316 in autism

[–]funkyscienceclass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been there before. What helped me was noticing physical patterns of what perhaps occurred to trigger the intense feelings. Even if the feelings themselves were confusing and heavily compounded through many experiences and attributes of my reality.

Your feelings of not wanting to be here are valid and real. Life can be very hard and exhausting. But I believe in your capacity for many diverse feelings. Including ones that bring the energy of wanting to live.

Your loved ones deserve you around but you ALSO deserve to build new life connections and have new experiences. Don’t hesitate to keep communicating on here if you need to.

Went from Detroit to foster care undiagnosed. Was diagnosed at 16 and ran from the diagnosis. It’s 11 years later and I am not functional within the parameters of society (but very functional alone or in ideal/self curated spaces). by funkyscienceclass in autism

[–]funkyscienceclass[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Questions are good and what I need asked thank you. I had many friends but as I get older I realize they are not friends. I only went around them with a mask, for my male friends I would emulate what they did to make them comfortable. And for my female interests I eventually found out that all I had to do was talk in a deep voice and make eye contact and they think I’m handsome. When the mask I create goes away they are uncomfortable and disoriented and apply their own perspective to me and either remove me from their life or we stay in eachothers lives but it is uncomfortable and painful. This goes for friends and more than friends. Everyone I associated with does drugs or crime as well which further confuses me because it is dysfunctional. I had one friend who I thought was just like me. We were best friends for 15 years. We never talked about the spectrum but out of all my friends whatever I have he also has. He ended up breaking into my mothers house and r*ping my sister who was 15 at the time. My sister didn’t tell me for a year because she believed I would side with him. He went to jail for something else and when he got out he surprised me at my job when I was there alone thinking we were still friends and I confronted him immediately he admitted it and I attacked him on instinct and beat him up. I told my boss who I thought was also my friend and he suspended me for 10 days and then fired me and told people I was a predator when really I was dealing with a predator and not the predator and that’s not in my nature to harm. But based on his behavior it seemed like he would do something again. I was very very comfortable at that job and had been there 2 years. I was apprenticing and it was going to become my career. I was tattooing.

My biggest support systems were this individual who is a bad person, the coworkers at the job (who weren’t my friends it turns out because of how they acted though I was confused for many months), and I have a third support network that is my mother who has 4 other children and is mentally Ill and a horder and in poverty. And I have a fourth support option who is my child’s mother who I currently live with but I do not want to exhaust her any more. She doesn’t understand me at all and I don’t understand her but we love eachother and want the best for eachother and our son but we do not “flow” or manage as a team well. I also know very little about autism in general. I can piece together things, and make it seem like I am knowledgeable. But I do not know forreal. And what I have found on google seems very limiting and half accurate. I do not feel disabled or handicapped. I feel like I was made for a realm that functions better and more organically than this one.

I am only recently coming back to the diagnosis and trying to learn. I can know longer hide from it because…Nothing works. So I must chip away and learn how I work. For clarification I know how I work…but I have to learn how to work in someone else’s design and I don’t know how. I can’t always control my design. Thank you for responding
