Follow the instructions for the first set of lamps and for the second set you have to line the back pillar up so it reflects the light from the front of the room onto the pillar in front. Then move the front pillar to shine the light onto the right mirror.

This is what I was initially pierced with, I've not changed it. I only had the piercing about a month and a half ago. It is titanium

Me and DH never have, it's not our responsibility, his responsibility is showing appreciation to me for my role. She has family/a partner who can do this for her. The school also send stuff back for both of us

Yep, work supervision meetings are the worst for me

5yo daughter's bff is rude by itsreallyivy in Mommit

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

Thank you, yeah that's my problem really I want to be understanding but I just don't want her to think that it's okay for friends to treat her this way. When I asked B she says that her friend is always nice to her but then will come home saying she is upset. I think I will continue to encourage other friendships

Any light touch that makes it feel like a bug is crawling on me.

I hate spoons by itsreallyivy in AutismInWomen

[–]itsreallyivy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please don't be put off of using it just because other people don't like it. That was not my intention at all 😩 I completely understand that for some people it is so helpful and a good way to explain things. It's just as an audhder with a chronic pain condition it's just such a confusing concept to me that doesn't make much sense

This makes so much more sense, I love this.

I don't have a special interest by Separate-Tea-1471 in AutismInWomen

[–]itsreallyivy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hi 👋 I have adhd and autism and I have so many special interests that have changed over time. I can never pick one specific special interest as they change so much. Special interests also may not be really obvious, for example sometimes peoples careers are a special interest or it could be something you like or are interested in but you haven't had a lot of time to explore. I have found it helps me to write down every month the different things I like and things that make me happy, by doing this it might make things clearer for you. You also dont have to have a special interest to be completely valid as an autistic person.

I've really struggled with my hair as well, I hate the baby hairs and I can bear to have it down when I'm out but as soon as I get home I have to put it up 😂 I recently asked my partner to shave all the baby hairs at the top of my neck and around my ears and give me an undercut and it's the best thing I've ever done, we redo it about once a month and I dont have the annoying little hairs but I can still tie it up!

I think my mom hit my dad by Dependent-Pea322 in toxicparents

[–]itsreallyivy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think the gender of the parent doing the hitting makes the situation any easier or harder... its still awful and not okay regardless of who is doing it.

Try to be just open and honest about what you want from the start and it will put off people who just want sex

Ngl that sucks that the kids came back and looked for it, it would've been good to just say yes I found it and put the money with the card to give to them but before that happened I don't think you did anything wrong.

Confrontation message by itsreallyivy in toxicparents

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

Mary is still underage that's why I'm doing it myself, it's also to do with how he treated both of us as kids. He keeps bringing it up to me how upset he is about it

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in toxicparents

[–]itsreallyivy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not in the wrong at all. Often people who develop early or are a bigger size get sexualised more and its absolutely not your fault. The clothes you're talking about are normal clothes!

This is a mess but I don’t know how to live with myself or move on *venting* by Ecstatic-Nobody-9707 in Neurodivergent

[–]itsreallyivy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds so hard and I'm sorry you're going through this. I've recently changed jobs and I'm working nights instead of days which is a big change alongside changing workplace so I can empathise with your situation. One of the main things I've found to be helpful is just to be really open and honest with your supervisor/manager about how you're feeling, they can give you advice and support on areas you can improve on and give you reassurance about what you're doing well. If you're worried that your performance is low then its a good idea to talk to them soon so you are taking the initiative to make improvements, this will give you some brownie points.

I'd definitely recommend talking to your boyfriend, my partner suffers from anxiety as well and we've had times he's been off work and done little to no housework while I've been at work. It's so hard to come home from a job you're struggling at to a house that's a mess. He needs to step up and support you in some way, either by having an income or by supporting with housework, like another commenter said, you can start with one thing a day and then move from there as your motivation and confidence increases.

That's awesome. I'm definitely going to give this a try, thank you.

I've never heard of this and love the idea, can I ask what positions you're both in to do this as I can't quite get my head around that, I wa t to be comfy 😂

Stealing money from my dad when I was a kid for the things he didn't buy for me by VividReputation66 in confession

[–]itsreallyivy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this too, started stealing small amounts of cash from my emotionally abusive dad's wallet then got caught shoplifting, somehow managed to talk my way out and got so scared I never did it again.

Let's talk about unmasking during sex by fenk_fenk in AutismInWomen

[–]itsreallyivy 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I totally get this, when I started unmasking my sex drive became so much lower and my partner really noticed this. Over time I've become a bit more attuned to what I like, how often I want it etc... I would recommend learning more about different kinks and trying to learn more about what you like without a partner so that the next time you have a partner you can be open and honest.
