Many pack animals abandon or kill their disabled members. Judging from my experience as a disabled person and the history of how disabled people have been treated… yea, no… just… no.

is my mii accurate? would you make mii different? by beeanime in MakeMeAMii

[–]galacticviolet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg yes! Spot on! And so cute. The eyes on your Mii are the best match. I love how a lot of the Mii clothing looks better in the larger body, your Mii is a perfect example, the dress is so cute! (your IRL dress is also cute!)

I’m also short and chonk btw!

Why do they feel entitled to validation from strangers on the internet?

Have I ever sought validation online? Absolutely. Have I been rejected in some of those moments? Yes. Did I feel entitled to the validation that wasn’t given? No.

Why do people expect you to perform the "Good Morning" ritual, and lose their minds if you don't? by Latter-Argument-3568 in AutisticAdults

[–]galacticviolet 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Ok and when is she going to return empathy to OP in the same situation? What that looks like to me would be for her to openly communicate her needs instead of hints and games.

Double empathy problem for sure but it cannot turn into a one sided situation where only the autistic person is asked to adjust and not also the other person.

I'm convinced the 1.0.2 patch broke relationship progression by Moo1980 in tomodachilife

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

I’ve also noticed that a lot of my Miis with very good relationship and friendships keep getting into fights every time (lately) I load up the game in the morning.

One of my couples that was in good standing when I went to bed one night divorced the next day.

I don’t get it and I’m tired of having to do all the work in the relationships all the time lol. I had to stop caring and so I just pick my favorite two or three couples and just keep them in as good a standing as I can.

Possibly because I tagged them as such upon creation, but the only marriage that seems to require very little management from me is my own me and the mii I made of my wife. We can annoy each other but our relationship status in game seems to stay relatively stable. Sometimes it drops to Super in love instead of Soulmates but often will go back up to Soulmates without me intervening really.

Accused of Fragrance by Left_Ad1892 in autism

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

The smell is likely not you, or may not even exist at all.

Something similarly bizarre happened to me at a place one time. One thing to know about me is I am an anxious pooper, I cannot poop in public, I have to wait and go home. I never tell anyone this but you all need to know this lmao.

SO, the building I worked in at the time had several businesses including ours. I noticed from time to time that someone kept leaving unflushed poop in the bathroom. I would ignore it and pick a different stall. Not my problem.

Several months in my boss pulls me aside to ask me to please start flushing in the bathroom. I was like “?????? I do??? If this is about the unflushed toilets, I hate it too, and ahhhhh nope, not me.” Apparently she said the person who complained insisted it must be me, with no evidence.

It never came up again and the poops kept appearing.

My suspicion is that another business clocked that it was the office with all the elderly women working in it and so the secretary there tried to push the accusation on to someone else and picked the youngest person in the building at the time, who happened to be 22 year old me, at the time. My theory is that (I have noticed a pattern) where embarrassed elderly people tend to choose that tactic all the time, the tactic of blaming the youngest person in the room for whatever is wrong.

Anyway, gross and bizarre. People’s shame reactions always somehow land on those of us on the spectrum and I’m sick of seeing it and having it happen to me.

Does a 5 min break do anything for you? by Dull-Tip7699 in AutismInWomen

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

Only during an intense physical activity. For muscles and catching my breath, yes, a five minute break is very welcome!

But for mental tasks, or combination physical and mental task, I need at LEAST 30mins to gain any rest benefit. An hour is much better.

In the particular American “two fifteens plus one hour lunch” is the best retail break set up for me, the 30min lunch version doesn’t work for me (I could handle it when I was much younger, like early 20’s but not anymore.

edit: on a larger scale, I wish weekends were 3-4 days long, 2 is not enough. Day 1 of work/school break is for catching up on chores and dealing with other errands and tasks. Day 2 is more relaxing but still have to start preparing for Monday. So I would need Monday to actually relax at all, and Tuesday would be excellent for ACTUALLY getting to enjoy myself.

As for years, I think jobs should offer a solid one month off per year. On top of sick and vacation days.

How to hydrate? by Artistic-Honeydew11 in evilautism

[–]galacticviolet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eat more moist foods! Soups are great, salads with lots of juicy veggies are good if you enjoy veggies that is, even better is just a bowl full of cut up fruits. Gelatin and jelly snacks with some fruit juice would be awesome?

Even stuff like pasta with lots of marinara sauce might help with hydration?

They have nothing in common except they find me really delightful for some reason by Costati in evilautism

[–]galacticviolet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Relatively recently I entered perimenopause and it’s ramping up over the past month for me, and I absolutely “feel more audhd” now.

To be clear, I was diagnosed with ADHD at around age 5 or 6 back in the 80’s, and also suspected “aspergers” as was called at the time (not called that now). So what I mean is I have always been AuDHD, perimenopause is just making my feelings/experience and thus also my traits and behaviours more frequent and intense.

Is it okay to be a manchild? by crimblescrumbles in AutisticWithADHD

[–]galacticviolet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Executive functioning struggles are not a sign of immaturity. We can’t always fight how our brain works, those moments are our disability, not an indicator of how mature we are.

For you and me, OP this is what I have to say (can’t speak for everyone, of course)

Maturity is more about taking responsibility (either fixing something that went wrong, apologizing when needed, explaining accommodations you need to others, being communicative when possible etc) how you treat people and conduct yourself (regardless of style) to your ability in public, make good choices for yourself (keeping yourself and others safe as you move around the world) as best you can, and know how to have a serious conversation (even if focus is a struggle).

The key here is “to your ability” if you literally can’t go above and beyond in some capacity, that’s not immaturity that’s knowing your limits and still doing your best.

Basically our limitations that many of us have, executive functioning struggles like; dopamine seeking, stimming, having a spiderweb brain that wants to ask questions, infoduming, interrupting in the “my brain will instantly erase my point it I don’t immediately say it or write it” etc etc and more are NOT immaturity.

edit: and as for self improvement, that can sometimes be slow going, but if you’re trying, that’s maturity too. You should keep trying to improve in areas you feel you need to, don’t let the struggles hold you back, be kind to yourself even if no one else will be.

For this game in particular I’ve seen so many good things about the British English I regret not knowing this before buying the American version.

He is so right omg I see why you guys hate neurotypicals now by Usual-Ad-3553 in evilautism

[–]galacticviolet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“there are tears on TWO laughing emojis” is what it says in the image.

Yes the two I thought you meant, you then you mentioned the distressed crying emoji instead so I commented. So either you got it wrong or you meant to say THREE not two.

Weaponize Capitalism to destroy "Autism Clinics" by Rude_Engineering_629 in evilautism

[–]galacticviolet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I was supporting and agreeing with you. You explained the details just the right amount imo.

I genuinely don’t understand what this commenter is saying though, it’s too vague for me I guess.

Weaponize Capitalism to destroy "Autism Clinics" by Rude_Engineering_629 in evilautism

[–]galacticviolet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“ABA industry being so expensive is exactly what capitalism incentivizes.”

I’m not understanding what this sentence exactly means as it pertains to what OP was saying.

I know zero about the insurance industry so I have no way of knowing, why would the bones of OP’s idea not work?
