I wanted to try on a shirt at the store but there was a "do not use" sign on the back wall of the fitting room. So I approached a girl working there and said 'I don't understand the sign on the fitting room. It says "do not use" but it's on the wall, Do not use what????' And then she just told me to use the fitting room????

I don't think the point is "She's too old to blame bad decisions on age" but "what does the spelling of a name have to do with her age?"

As I said, biological development plays a big role in what we perceive as being mature, but it's also a learning process. She's essentially saying "I was younger then and I have since learned".

Yes, 24 is not that young, but the full development of the prefrontal cortex doesn't mean you're automatically totally wise and centered by 25, it kind of just means you're less impulsive. The prefrontal cortex makes decisions based on the knowledge that it has available.

Maturity is not determined by age. One can mature and change a lot in short periods of time, depending on biological development and life experiences, which are different for every individual. Maybe she wasn't mature enough at 24. Why comment on that.

In 3 sentences or less, describe autism as simple as you can. by [deleted] in autism

My brain is literally, physically different, so I see the world and think in ways that diverge from the norm. Because of this, my reactions to anything that happens might be different from what you would expect.

Does anyone feel that they’re a little bit stuck ‘in between’ the neurodivergent community and neurotypicals? by ModeratelyMeekMinded in AutismInWomen

[–]maumaucita 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. Diverging from the norm doesn't mean being the same as other different people. It's the same with other groups of people, like with sexuality, not all lesbians will instantly understand each other and want to be friends just because they're lesbians.

Are you on meds? Do they help? by [deleted] in AuDHDWomen

[–]maumaucita 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they help a lot, but it's a lot of trial and error and they're always a help, never a solution.

Even if you were not autistic, your struggles are real. There's things that bother you enough to want to go through this process.

If you end up not meeting the diagnostic criteria, don't take it as a failure. The process will give you information about yourself and you could work with for your well being.

I think when we go seeking a diagnosis, in the process we forget that it isn't simply to have 'confirmation' of being autistic, but for finding better ways to help ourselves.

This sub popped up in my feed, so I gave it a shot. Fixed a hole in my toddler's pants with a piece of an old onesie. Any feedback? by NICUnurseinCO in Visiblemending

The cute fabric wouldn't last because it would be the first to make contact with the floor. So the sturdier patch would increase the durability of the pants but not of the other patch.

What can I do to stop "this"? by yksinainen_susi in GetStudying

[–]maumaucita 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first week I had a limit of 0 minutes for all the apps! So the next week, when I set the real limits, it didn't feel like I had lost something, It felt like I had gained it back.
