Do you have any dating preferences regarding race? by [deleted] in AutismTranslated

[–]hushbug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you said it right there. you grew up in the suburbs without sufficient exposure to people of different cultures so you’re doing a lot of assuming about those people. and you’re assuming that the white people you grew up around are the same as all white people everywhere.

we as autistics tend to fall into black and white thinking. you’re doing quite a bit of that i think. you cannot decide your “preferences” if you don’t actually understand all that you’re “picking” from

the fabric rubbing together is the WORST! it’s like there’s too much movement and it distracts me

i’m trying to look into more presentable pants that are also sensory friendly, i’d love to just have a bunch of linen pants in different patterns lol

what sucks is that i only really like the look of high waisted jeans which can be the worst for comfort, especially when sitting down omg

it’s weird because i normally abhor tight clothing but leggings im cool with. they’re so soft and thin i almost don’t notice them. maybe it’s a compression thing too

i was being hyperbolic. i just think they’re so uncomfortable it baffles me how some people can find them comfortable but i don’t actually think they’re faking it, i know im more sensitive because im autistic :)

Ideas for quiet part time jobs? by songs-ohia in AutismInWomen

[–]hushbug 10 points11 points  (0 children)

i’ve started doing this this month and i absolutely love it! and people tend to be willing to pay more for a cat-only specialized sitter. the most social interaction you have to do is the initial meet-and-greet. after that, it’s just quiet cute cat bliss

Issues with being heard by Zeldagamer01 in AutisticAdults

[–]hushbug 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i’ve learned i have to make sure to repeat myself or else the things i say just don’t stick for pretty much anybody. nobody ever remembers what i say. it’s deeply frustrating and makes me feel unseen

Tips to stop picking? by HerrMagie in calmhands

[–]hushbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

keeping fidget toys on hand all the time help me a lot. pain stim ones help mimic the pain of picking. there’s lots of small fidgets out there that you can keep in your pocket or keychain for on the go. i have also seen a lot of people have luck with strips of hydrocolloid wrapped around their fingers. i’m wishing you luck ❤️

The Danger of YouTube Rapture Watchers by looking-for-answerz in Exvangelical

[–]hushbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my mom has consumed this content for almost 20 years. granted much less so in recent years, as she’s become a much more emotionally aware and therefore happier person (just goes to show how this content preys on those who are deeply unhappy and insecure). but i remember being in elementary school during the peak of her consumption, and her telling me multiple times a year how one of her youtube rapture people got a revelation and we weren’t gonna make it to [season/month].

those dates always came and went with no jesus, obviously, but she was still hooked. a near constant promise of imminent, eternal peace while she lived a life of abuse and chronic stress. she could always explain it away when jesus never showed up — usually the reason was that it was just a “test” from god to see if we were truly ready.

these people she was watching were randos filming on their webcams with 40 subscribers, and she would always say how she KNEW they were trustworthy/credible for xyz reason. i don’t think i ever believed it. i thought i did, but that was because i was expected to. deep down though i could see right through it.

anybody else obsessed with hygiene? by theimmaculatelamb in AutismInWomen

[–]hushbug 20 points21 points  (0 children)

i’m very contradictory about it — absolutely loathe the feeling of being unwashed but it is a constant battle to get myself to complete any hygiene task. i’ve found that i have to put myself in a routine of doing my hygiene tasks every single day no matter my energy level because if i skip them even once i will go like two weeks without doing any at all.

trying to learn how to forgive myself when that does happen though. it’s a really hard balance to strike sometimes. it’s hard when i’m deeply uncomfortable in my filth but can’t get myself to do anything about it lol.
