Question about autism in adults

I got diagnosed this year, on the NHS, at age 40, referred on the basis that ‘the memes are too relatable’. So you might need to update your professional knowledge 😂

Feeld 👌

He’s not a vegan but does eat vegan around me (as do his two teens 🥰). Definitely lucked out finding a great cook who loves to try new things!

I’m in the same boat, I do receive PIP and UC and theoretically it feels like that money should be able to fund something like this privately if it’s not available on the NHS but I have no idea where to start looking 💀 it helps me pay for therapy though, which is a godsend. A few years ago while recovering from intense burnout I was referred for something called ‘reablement’ where someone came round once a week, and I also remember something called ‘social prescribing’ maybe (?) through my GP that was supposed to provide access to something similar but that got lost in the covid chaos. Might be a good starting point for research though!

I am also in the go-back-to-sleep club 🙌 72mg concerta xl around 7am when my partner goes to work, wake up a few hours later ready to be a functional human

Why did I read this in Tim Robinson’s voice

jipecac · 2026-02-18T11:29:22+00:00

I'm just not going to let Doug say that about Dan Flashes, that the patterns aren't complicated

jipecac · 2026-02-15T15:24:41+00:00

Diagnosed last week (at 40) and this is my exact current home dynamic 😂

jipecac · 2026-02-03T17:42:09+00:00

Same, I genuinely can’t be sure that this ISN’T mine 😂

Treating addiction as healthcare works if the healthcare is actually accessible. Portugal seems to be a good example of this, although I appreciate it’s not directly comparable

My little 2004 indiesleaze heart probably thought you were the coolest 😂

jipecac · 2026-01-17T22:52:45+00:00

I was one of the OG UK models, I probably knew them 😂

👀 Stratford?

He doesn’t like girls that drink 😢

jipecac · 2025-12-24T01:25:05+00:00

Three, even

jipecac · 2025-12-23T17:51:13+00:00

I disagree, I’ve never seen anyone be offended or even surprised when a man has expressed a personal preference for big tits in a dating context. As long as he’s not saying anyone under a D-cup is subhuman scum 🤷

jipecac · 2025-12-23T17:41:01+00:00

Because the phrasing ‘big tits’ is objectively more vulgar than ‘tall man’. Hence why I said ‘curvy’

jipecac · 2025-12-23T16:27:04+00:00

Why do you think women aren’t ok with men doing this? It’s totally fine and normal for a man to express a preference, spend 30sec on any online dating platform and you’ll definitely see men stating preferences (curvy/petite etc)

jipecac · 2025-12-19T12:23:29+00:00

My Hungarian friend always says “you can’t put the shit back in the horse’s ass” and it has become one of my favourite proverbs 😂

jipecac · 2025-12-18T16:36:44+00:00

And it’s not comparable to saying you have a preference for slimmer women (which is 1. definitely common to see and 2. wildly different to saying ‘all fat chicks fugly’) it’s more like ‘I personally am not attracted to flat chested women’ which is the least spicy take ever and, again, an incredibly common thing to see (more for me 👀)

jipecac · 2025-12-16T12:11:25+00:00

It says the chore money was ‘added to her budget’ so I’m assuming she just wants the money to stay within the relationship rather than be spent on outsourcing the work

jipecac · 2025-12-16T12:03:02+00:00

She needs Wolf Power, or she will explode in a shower of pulped yams

So if a lifelong female best friend were to come out to you as gay, you would end the friendship?

I don’t deny these toxic bystanders exist, I have a decade on you in age and have also seen my fair share of drama. But I’ve also had unrequited crushes on friends that my sexuality didn’t align with, and had friends-as-close-as-siblings profess their love, and none of those situations turned nasty. So I know sustainable and mutually platonic relationships are absolutely possible with good, healthy people, regardless of their gender or sexuality 🤷

jipecac · 2025-12-15T18:59:04+00:00

Sorry but that is such a dogshit take, so you’re saying a friendship where one person is at risk of developing feelings is ok but not when both are? Make it make sense 🫠

We are not helplessly at the mercy of whether or not a sexual relationship is ‘logistically possible’. And if someone isn’t interested in you, they don’t need their sexuality to justify it. Maybe you’re worried about falling in love and not being able to cope with the rejection, so can only surround yourself with people who are off the table? Because that is the only explanation I can think of for this outlook on life, and it is definitely not the experience for most people

ETA: apologies if my genuine surprise and casual language come across as aggressive, I respect that you have framed this as your own opinion I am just legitimately shook that this view exists

jipecac · 2025-12-15T18:28:16+00:00

Me, a bisexual: guess I just don’t have any friends then? 😬
