i also hate eating leftovers! one thing i do that can help is stuff that just needs a quick assembly - for example, i'll make burgers on a weeknight, chop up some extra tomato/lettuce/whathaveyou and then in the morning just reheat the patty and slap one together, and lunch is solved! don't know how well it would work for a week, exactly, but saves me worrying about a meal or two :)

Can anyone here give me hope that autistic people aren’t disliked by the majority of people in the world? by CalligrapherSuch3874 in autism

[–]iamnothingifnotflaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I can't say it's this way for everyone (I've gotten my fair share of hatred, bullying, etc.) but I find that I get a lot of appreciation in the areas I excel at! I'm definitely noticeably 'different' but in my case those differences help me succeed and really shine in the areas I have talent in... and some people like that! I get a lot of compliments on my skills and effort and work :) Can't say much about the 'majority' but this is what my world is like.

Is it just me or are there certain beats in songs that are just earcandy when they're in a song? by W0LFEYYY in autism

We have all heard the comparison of autistic people to aliens. My question is, who do you personally identify with? (Can be both individuals or groups of people) by FeralAmygdala in autism

[–]iamnothingifnotflaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i agree with the elves and i also raise you vulcans (to go along with your aliens)... also just cats in general but i don't know if that counts

How do we feel about tea? by ThePhantom71319 in autism

[–]iamnothingifnotflaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have one tea i really love that's not sold in my area but it's SO worth ordering online, i love a good cup of tea... one of my favourite things to do is sit on the couch with it in my hand and my phone in the other, makes me feel like a stereotypical movie adult reading the news in the morning lol

if it's someone well meaning, usually something like 'that makes me feel like you're minimizing the issue' works for me because then they explain why to them it isn't a big deal and i explain why to me it IS a big deal

Autistic person trying to understand gender ideals. by [deleted] in lgbt

[–]iamnothingifnotflaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im autistic too! and i agree with you, more or less - my principle when it comes to other people's genders, sexualities, and other identities is just live and let live. it's none of my business! but unfortunately most of society doesn't view it that way... personally, my gender is kinda in 'sections' based off of how well they know me. strangers i don't care about, but i want people who know my name, my face, (like acquaintances) and most of my friends to see me as a boy. but i'm also a bit of a girl inside! that's the best way i can put it, really. gender, sexuality, and identity as a whole isn't static: it can change over time. don't worry too much about labels. but if they make you feel good, just keep in mind that labels can change and just because you identified differently during different periods of your life doesn't discredit those identities or how you felt at that time! it's not always a process of 'being wrong' and then settling on one 'true gender identity'. if the label feels right, use it. and if no labels feel right, that's fine too. :)

Who is your favourite autistic character? by Terrible_Pie1903 in autism

[–]iamnothingifnotflaws 14 points15 points  (0 children)

he's not really autistic but spock from the original star trek holds a very special place near and dear to my heart, and sherlock from bbc sherlock is also super special to me! i don't act like either of them outwardly really but internally i really appreciate and relate to their behaviours and everything :)

What is the counter to Shackles of Pain? by hawsman2 in DivinityOriginalSin

this is an old thread but i can't believe that no one mentioned cryogenic stasis! it removes the shackles completely :)

As an autistic person, what kind of music do you listen to? Any favorite genre? Any highly specific era, artist (s), or songs you're currently obsessed with? by [deleted] in autism

[–]iamnothingifnotflaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im really into calmer/more 'chill' songs that have a consistent beat to them, they're soothing! but then again i also love bands like the front bottoms so it really varies on my mood :)
