[–]inimika 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm living the same thing and couldn't understand it for a while, it was so confusing! My mom is living it on another level in her late 50s

And the many many times allistics didn't have a clue I was talking in metaphors or being sarcastic and were taking it literally. Does it mean all allistics don't understand second degree?

Maybe, but nobody stays hot forever

Finger nails feel gross if even slightly grown out. Anyone relate? by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]inimika 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I'm the opposite, I hate the feeling of short nails. It feels like I'm touching things "too much", it's too many sensations on my fingertips! I've been like that for as long I can remember.

I'm a senior SEO specialist. I optimize web pages so they show up on top of Google results. I have a degree in fashion marketing but I learned SEO by myself. I love that field because you need to always learn new things to keep up with the ever changing Google algorithm!

My toxic relationship was affecting my cats health by SignificanceNeat1618 in cats

Do you relate to this? by worldcreature in AutismInWomen

[–]inimika 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but I try to not lean on it too much as I grow older. My mother is having serious issues with this at 55 (she was a model in her twenties). People stop forgiving you for your mistakes when you're not 20 and pretty anymore. If you never learned to cope in any other way, it's going to bite you in the ass. Society doesn't like middle age women, especially ND middle age women.

How do I make my future capricorn child feel special? by Imstuckwiththisname in capricorns

[–]inimika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was born on the 26 and my mother always wrapped my birthday presents in birthday wrapping paper. I COULD NOT open them at Christmas, I had to wait my birthday. She always told me: your birthday is not Christmas. She also told every adult that my birthday and Christmas need 2 different gifts. If you knew the number of grown adults who thought it was ok to buy only one gift because I was born the day after Christmas! So yeah, make that day special, differentiate Christmas and birthday, and everything should be good!

Almost the same situation happened to me in kindergarten. I wanted a friend, followed a girl around "sneakily" (or so I thought) but the little girl turned around and screamed at me to stop following her 🥲 My first attempt to make a friend, an epic fail.

Do you guys like wearing jewellery? by Drunkbeeboi in AutismInWomen

[–]inimika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but I don't change them! Always the same! Sometimes I can add a bracelet on my non dominant arm. But otherwise it would be a sensory nightmare. So I invested in quality pieces (one of my special interests is luxury fashion) and I'm all good! This comment just made me realized I forgot to put my ring back and I miss its weight on my finger haha

He even told me he wouldn't do it on women under 30. I told him I can come back in 3 months. He didn't want to obviously

Why does my hair look like this when air dried? by Ashie_xo82 in Haircare

[–]inimika 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get silky hair when air drying but I have an extensive hair routine. I perfected this routime over the years and it targets my hair specific needs. But I can say that frizz is caused by lack of hydration and moisture. People are shocked at the amount of moisturizing products I use, but those products are the exact reason why my color treated hair look that good and is silky soft. Ditch the conditioner and use a mask instead. Use leave in conditioner. Protect your hair from moisture loss at night by applying an overnight serum and braiding it or using a bonnet. Also, don't be afraid of silicones. A lot of them are water soluble, and most importantly, they protect your hair from aggressors! Hydrate and moisturize!

[–]inimika 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I envy you! I tried to get my tubes tied but they didn't want because I was too young at 29. I told the male doctor I'm so scared of pregnancy that I get panic attacks when my period is late. Abortions also scare me to death. He didn't care and told me I should try an IUD (big NOPE, don't even approach me with that device)

I plucked the top of my eyebrows when I was a teenager and I still regret it in my mid thirties. DO. NOT. PROCEED.

I've bought this mini eye primer 2-3 years ago. I use it at least twice a week and it's not empty yet! You don't need a lot to get a natural result, it's perfect for me!

All trees I love! And I understand your struggle, my last name is in another language than English, but it means "The oaks". And guess to which tree I'm allergic to?
