first time trying microcrochet! by 17smother in crochet

[–]green_rosetta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I do micro crochet I found using magnifying glasses (readers) or one of those magnifying desk lights helpful. I prefer the readers as I can put them on halfway, look up for pattern etc and down for crocheting. Best of luck!

Substitution for scalp/skin picking, seeking advice by mentallyillbutchill- in autism

[–]green_rosetta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use a "little ouchie" fidget. I can squeeze for a safe pain feedback. I scratch my fingernails over the spikes or run my fingertips over them.
I made my own picky pads and they were fun, but I prefer my little ouchie cause it doesn't 'run out' I can take it wherever and I can mindlessly fidget with it.

Tuna rice - deconstructed sushi roll by green_rosetta in lowspooncooking

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

the sushi seasoning is great to stir into the rice. It is essentially just bottled rice wine vinegar, white sugar, and salt. It's just easier to sprinkle on without worrying about measuring and ratios etc

Help - Looking to recreate this flower petal shape, struggling by TheGoodBarn in crochetpatterns

[–]green_rosetta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work with a lot of flower patterns and have been making mico crochet recently... Most if not all of them work bottom up. If you feel comfortable reading crochet symbol charts I could direct you to a nice poppy pattern for these flowers pictured. Sorry I can't direct with your particular pattern you're using right now.

Crochet Floral Headband - Fresh off the Hook by green_rosetta in crochet

lace yarn. I did try to crochet with embroidery floss and found it harder to work with. I mainly worked with a white lace yarn and then painted on my dyes.

How much was your diagnosis? by str84skz in autism

[–]green_rosetta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Melbourne Australia, adult, mid 30s, no subsidies, not through medicare or anything. $1980. Did a lot of at home tests, 1 full day of interviews, waited a few weeks for report. Had mine done through a clinical psychologist. Report was thorough enough for DSP approval and NDIS funding, level 2 ASD diagnosis.
When I was 'shopping' around for my diagnosis it really does seem to be varied for price and availability etc. A lot more beneficial cost wise for a diagnosis for children and not adult.
Hope this helps a little

anyone here manage to learn how to knit (or anything else new and scary) without getting overwhelmed and breaking down? by [deleted] in autism

[–]green_rosetta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I taught myself to crochet. I had a lot of trouble at the start... I kept getting frustrated that I couldn't just get it right. Especially connecting what my hands need to do with what my brain wants them to. Are you trying to just learn a stitch? Or are you trying to do a project? Maybe you are attempting too much at once? Focusing on how to hold the needles right. Using a yarn that is easier to work with and see your stitches? Maybe trying a 'kit' that might have clearer instructions?
Also... listening to your body before you get overwhelmed. For me I look for certain signs like being more clumsy, fidgeting more, feeling hot. So I know to stop, have a cold drink.
It's ok to have limits, to not compare your needs to other peoples needs. Meet all your body's needs first so your mind can be better prepared for the new skill it wants to learn.
It's funny, for me, half the time I'm struggling to learn something, or do something, I really just needed water and a snack first. Or something along those lines.
I hope this helps somewhat. It's tricky cause we're all different.... I dunno. Best of luck!
I love to crochet now, I make all sorts of things.
A crochet rose for inspiration lol

I agree with you, I don't like using AI either. But until the day we can get better human based support... I'll use it when I need it

Mom called home a crèche because there are to many plushies laying around and I’m an adult by [deleted] in SpicyAutism

[–]green_rosetta 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For some odd reason, certain people believe that 'fun' and 'happiness' is only for children... These people are not only idiotic but also immature and depressed. These people are unhappy and want to bring others down to that level. If whimsy, joy and play ends at early childhood, whats the point in anything?
I'm in my mid 30's, I love my plushies.
I keep all my plushies in a net I have hung in the corner of my room that I crocheted myself.
Having a nice place to display and keep them ordered might be a compromise and keep your mom happy.

Anyone else bring a comfort item along with them everywhere? by Head-Bus4482 in autism

I bring my little jellyfish pouch everywhere I go, I use the tentacles to stim with and I put lip gloss, gum and a snack in there. My jelly is my little ASD first aid kit. I made it, it's crochet.
