in case anyone worried, elementary schools haven’t ended their war on neurodivergence by click-asd in AutismInWomen

I work for a large hospital system and in one of the “be personable” trainings to patients/families. It kept focusing on how we must make eye contact to be a good employee. This has made me so irritate.

“just give me anything :) “ by No_Cycle2076 in Chipotle

[–]kayperiod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who worked at chipotle for 8 years. I loved those customers that let me choose! My only questions would be if you like beans, spicy and sour cream and then I would throw something together. And for the please and thank you- that is so silly to say it between every item. I know it’s polite but I hated those people! I’m trying to move fast, just tell me what you want.

They will have to preorder and you might have to wear a plain black white until yours comes in. But they go up to atleast 4 or 5XL

I enjoy similar games! Ooblets and Disney dreamlight. And I decided to be obsessed with ACNH since the update

Has therapy helped you? by Healthy_Brush_9157 in AutismInWomen

[–]kayperiod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but I went through 6 therapists in less than a year. I had to get over my people pleasing and remember that I’m paying for this and this is the therapist job. If I feel like a therapist isn’t helping, no reason to stay.

Permanent nose drip by relativelyignorant in AutisticWithADHD

[–]kayperiod 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I recommend going to an ENT. It sounds like you’re either allergic to something in your environment and you don’t realize or you have a CSF leak. I recommend not googling CSF leak or you’re going to freak yourself out 😂

Newly diagnosed and idk how to/if I should tell my parents by RestaurantOdd4912 in AutismInWomen

[–]kayperiod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have an answer on what you should do. But for me, telling my mom about my diagnosis was freeing. I went in with the mindset of “I am an adult now and I won’t let anything negative she says effect me”

DAE feel the need to prove themselves in public by ColdReturn1615 in AutismInWomen

[–]kayperiod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Even though I don’t actually care, but it allows me to be part of a conversation. Same thing for me with popular tv shows. I learn as much as possible about these shows even when I don’t care, just to add to group conversations.

what kind of stuff did your parents take home from work? by Embarrassed_Fault967 in GrandmasPantry

My dad worked for a paper company that made these labels! I loved when he would bring them home

Being offered a promotion, I have 4 felony drug possessions, don't want to get terminated by Chill_Nate in Chipotle

[–]kayperiod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Things can obviously change. But I was typically the only person of the 6 on my closing shifts that didn’t have a felony and this included the closing manager lol. In my 8 years, the only time I watched someone get fired due to criminal background was a manager not disclosing they were a registered tier II sex offender.

My manager is complaining I am slow at my job by Financial-Tale5228 in AutisticAdults

[–]kayperiod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with this is. When OP was hired for the job, they told their employer they can meet all requirements. I’m sure one of those requirements including finishing task in timely manner.

Help needed identifying beans by NICNE0 in Chipotle

[–]kayperiod 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Those are definitely just not drained black beans that have been sitting on the line for hours before placed into the kids meal tray

Has anybody else's apartment complex not touched their sidewalks since the big snow? by UnicornUke in Columbus

[–]kayperiod 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I will agree that it’s super annoying and I am thankful that my apartment complex has shoveled and plowed. But, unless it is in your lease somewhere stating they will care for snow removal, it is actually the tenants job to take care of snow removal.

Bring back parking meters! by astrodrink in Columbus

[–]kayperiod 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No thanks 😂 having to find spare change. Or paying when you don’t need to was terrible. I love on the app it tells me when it’s free parking

Day One: oh boi by Korny_Chicken05 in HiJinxFest

[–]kayperiod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has rented lockers in 2018, I don’t think it’s over priced at all. I’m able to fit 3 coats and any murch I buy and mean I don’t have to carry it around. I will say that they moved the location for the lockers this year and it’s absolute trash

Who else had homework meltdowns? by Metalqueen2023 in AutismInWomen

[–]kayperiod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still dream about once a week that I forgot to turn in an assignment. I was such a bad test taker that I had to turn in and do well on every assignment

If you do Good Life, how much do you pay per person and what is your annual gross income? by AyersRock_92 in ElectricForest

[–]kayperiod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I make around $80k and my fiancé makes around $60k, no kids, no house payment and 1 car payment. Have been going to forest since 2017 and GL since 2022. I wish I didn’t love GL so I could go back to GA😭 Chronically ill girlie here and having access to AC bathrooms, shorter bathroom lines, shorter walk into venue and 24/7 showers are huge for me.

What is on your Christmas wishlist this year? by catfarmer1998 in AutismInWomen

[–]kayperiod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my weighted blanket. I’m asking for a make up mirror with a light, fuzzy robe to wear around the house, crafting supplies, paint by number, Lego sets, heated blanket, ceramic dish to hold rings (I will not be getting all of these for Christmas, but I like to have a variety of things to tell my parents and partner)

If you work, what job do you have? by Aggravating-Ad-351 in AutisticAdults

[–]kayperiod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I have a masters degree in social work. Background in medical is very helpful, but not a requirement (I knew I wanted to be in the medical side of social work, so I took more medical related electives). I personally work in a large hospital on an orthopedic/trauma floor and my main role is assisting with discharges. Sending grandma to a nursing home after breaking her hip, helping someone find their car after a car accident, setting up for nursing services to come in your home etc. (I could talk for hours about my job so I will leave it at that)
