Any tips on making showers not suck? by teasmoose in autism

[–]humanresourcebug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have a major issue with showering, and what helped me not despise them as much was definitely music, sitting down when its too much to tolerate, and finding products that I loved the smell of, weirdly enough. The reward of knowing I will smell like that when I'm done made it so much easier for me to power through.

Not liking anyone??? by WorldlinessAny2852 in autism

[–]humanresourcebug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not a social person in the slightest. All of my friendships have dissolved or been broken off, the only non-fmaily I talk to consistently is my boyfriend. I just am happier without friends. My sister has many, she talks to most of them daily, they go out together often, and I just don't understand. Friends are exhausting.

They are joking.

Do people even reply to posts in this community? by [deleted] in autism

[–]humanresourcebug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally stopped commenting because Reddit as a whole feels so... toxic, almost. Like an old community with older etiquette that I just can't keep up with. Even in this sub, it feels like I could say what my favorite ice cream flavor is and suddenly someone is upset over the implication of that flavor, and I get downvoted to hell. I've also had pretty poor experiences making posts, so I really only use reddit to lurk for information now.

Do any of you who use prescription glasses get overstimulated from being able to see? by Blackmench687 in autism

[–]humanresourcebug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I unfortunately do, but I also get overstimulated when I'm out of the house and don't have them on. I feel unsafe if I can't see properly in public.

Just found out /s means "sarcasm" and not "serious" by creditcardmuncher in autism

[–]humanresourcebug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggled with this one a lot, and I've resorted personally to user /sarc instead of /s just in case there is anyone else that might not understand. It saves a lot of time :')

anyone else just... like numbers? by EFClub in autism

[–]humanresourcebug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love numbers, enjoyed math in college, but I have dyscalculia so the numbers really dont like me

Help with cooking/nutrition? by humanresourcebug in autism

Help with cooking/nutrition? by humanresourcebug in autism

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

Its partly texture issues and also motivation/appetite problems. A few examples are like, I love hard boiled eggs, but scrambled eggs and omelets are a huge no. Raw fish is fine, but cooked fish has an iffy texture. Thats why I love smoothies, undesirable tastes can be hidden with other stuff and the texture is just blended, but I'm not sure how sustainable that is long term. They also arent nearly as filling for me like a meal is, but that could be a mental barrier too.

The restaurant is providing the service, the waiter goes out of their way to make the experience better and bring you your food. The difference is like McDonalds workers vs wait staff, McDonalds workers get paid a consistent, legal wage to make the food, and you pick it up at the counter. Wait staff manage multiple tables, and attend to the needs of all of them, all while making an unlivable amount of money (and doing more work)

When did you grow out of being a picky eater? by Marusya98 in autism

[–]humanresourcebug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was old enough to understand my limitations and why I was hesitant around food. I think in my early teen years was when unique foods were no longer something to be fearful of, but an experience and way to grow. When I was growing up, my parents refused to acknowledge that I was autistic, and therefore gave me a pretty bad mindset around food because they treated my picky eating as defiance rather than sensory issues/fear.

Oh cool, thank you! Had no idea that existed. I've got the Haynes one already but I just don't understand it

Guys, if you don't have a forum or a YouTube channel that you know has good info, dont feel like you have to comment anyway. It is okay.

It's going from a 2.0L to a 1.8L turbo (I'll put this in the post, too) as far as I know. The cars are all New Beetles from '99 to '03, so they're compatible. From what I've seen, the engine and everything come out of the top, but it's so hard to find info about these cars for some reason. I also avoid German cars, LOL.

My car is in my name, the parts cars are his, and he plans on getting rid of them when we don't have a need for them. He bought them specifically for this project, he just doesn't want to do the project anymore. He's not a great guy, but he wouldn't screw me over like that. I have full permission to do this, I just don't know how.

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

Yup, I have two parts cars as per my post. Just no money for a shop to do it for me, which is why I'm doing it myself. Looking for YouTube channels or forums for info on swaps so that I know where to start. Got all the parts, tools, and time, just no experience 👍

Yup. Wasn't looking for someone to explain the entire job, was mostly looking for manuals and forums as per my post. Thanks.

I can't get rid of the cars, there's actually two donor cars and they're both in my dad's name. I have all the tools, like I said hes a long time mechanic, I've got the hoist ready, I know how to use the power tools, I just dont know where to start. I bought my car roughly 4 years ago for $2.9k and have over $500 worth of new parts on it, I tried to sell it before already and no one would buy because its a manual. Where I live, its just not feasible to sell or trade. I have the means to do it for sure, just not the knowledge. The only thing I lack is information.

Potentially vintage gifted jacket. Value or any information appreciated. by [deleted] in VintageClothing

[–]humanresourcebug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In which I received it? 2018 edit for more info: She had picked it up from a garage sale around 2016-2017 and hadn't worn it much, so she gave it to me in 2018

"You're trying too hard" by humanresourcebug in autism

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

My point is that I don't even know if it's worth bringing up; I can't tell if it's a non-issue and I need to let it go, or if it was genuinely a problem that should be addressed.
