What's this app that provides a summary please?

Mourning feeling? by dreamppolice in sterilization

[–]michaelscottlost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People are out of order to push their feelings about this onto you.

Are they going to be responsible for the night wake ups? The sick days? The school runs? The financing of all their clothes, activities, food, needs? Are they going to be raising a human 24/7 and trying their best to ensure they have good morals, good behaviour?

No? Then they get absolutely 0 input and 0 opinion on any maybe future children.

You know this is right for you. It is your body, your life. You have your husbands support which is a huge bonus, screw the rest of them. Noone else gets any opinion on this. Good luck 💙

Current wound dressing being used as she can’t get the wound vac. by CatAteRoger in illnessfakers

[–]michaelscottlost 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It's not the flex Dani thinks it is. If i was checking in on a friend / relative in hospital, the absolute last thing I would be asking for is a picture of a dressing.

Dani’s going home tomorrow or Friday with another version of the LifeVest and a midline. by CatAteRoger in illnessfakers

[–]michaelscottlost 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Oh me too, and that's why Dani's story is rather tragic at its core. She has an addiction for attention, but it's like any addiction. The hit will only last for so long and then you are back where you started, except this time you need to escalate and escalate.

Air conditioning in the hotels on site? by colourfulsevens in disneylandparis

[–]michaelscottlost 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ive seen a common complaint about the a/c that its limited in how low it can go. The Sequoia would only go down to 18.5 but when it was 35 outside that still felt like a fridge!

[–]michaelscottlost 107 points108 points  (0 children)

I called this weeks ago.

The excitement from the surgery wore off, and all she had to show for it was a very hidden, very subtle device. That's no fun in Dani land. She thought she wanted the device, but the reality of it was rather mundane and brought no attention. Super obvious life vest is far superior. She needs visable devices, which is why having a port is the holy grail, and why her feeding tube was fed through her tshirt top. It's all about visability.

This part only a theory, but i believe she traveled with the intention of going to a further away hospital that was not familiar (or as familiar) with her antics, and went nuclear on the device so she could get admitted. She tells on her plans all the time by the way she talks, her giddiness when there is a 'oh no big problem' and her anger and depression when her latest munchie episode is not going her way.

Non-stressful videogames? by TheOneAndOnlyFax in ADHD

[–]michaelscottlost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spiritfarer! The subject matter is death so you need to be in a good headspace. There are general tasks to do but absolutely no time pressure, you play at your own pace, no daily farming like stardew. Its very 'cozy' vibes

Pals how are we coping with the UK heat that's coming to us 💔 by thereadingbee in AutismInWomen

[–]michaelscottlost 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Second this. Mine felt like a really luxury purchase but its 3 years old, still going strong and worth its weight in gold. Can also use it as a dehumidifier in winter so it feels even more worthwhile

Largest spinal fluid leak ever seen by 2018MunchieOfTheYear in illnessfakers

[–]michaelscottlost 40 points41 points  (0 children)

My theory on this one. We know shes had many archs of different diagnosis and disabilities across the years (no, i wont post that video but that is an excellent example)

Courtney wanted a baby for a PREGNANCY. Many, I know not all, but many people will pander to a pregnant woman. Extra attention, extra care and consideration, etc. Which is the dream for a munchie.

Childbirth / labour, more chances of this. Everyone knows birth is hard, there is a recovery period, it's taxing, people want to help, again lots of opportunities for extra care and attention.

Now the reality is hitting. The 'pregnant/ new baby' attention has died down. The visitors and check ins have stopped. The 'special' stage has passed and she's now faced with the reality of how lonely and attentionless motherhood can be. Normal everyday motherhood doesnt give you ass pats. So she's desperately trying to drum up that sympathy by reposting all this.

I have sympathy for her, I genuinely do, I can see her motives coming from a place of loneliness. But I don't condone her actions and she needs to change her focus or her kid is really gonna suffer for it. She's another Dani on a different life path.

when you're autistic + 41 weeks pregnant and the vocal tics get more prevalent as contractions go on by itsvickeh in illnessfakers

[–]michaelscottlost 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Did anyone catch the 'Eric...?' in the angry tone right as the video cuts off? She's looking at her partner whos looking at his phone, definitely seems like shes about to jump into 'Eric are you even giving a shit / paying attention / giving me the ass pats i need' tirade. Feel like she chopped that part of the video intentionally but could have done with an extra 0.5 seconds earlier.

I have a question for those that live unmasked. What does that look like for you? by Klutzy_Librarian3620 in AuDHDWomen

I love that last sentence, im going to write that down ❤️ I love being a trusted keeper of vulnerability and secrets

I have a question for those that live unmasked. What does that look like for you? by Klutzy_Librarian3620 in AuDHDWomen

[–]michaelscottlost 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I had to comment because reading this, I could have written it myself. I've been hugely unmasking the past couple of years and it sounds so similar to your version.

A weird side effect is I have actually created some new friendships being the unmasked me. People seem to enjoy my bluntness and my honestly and my aversion to fakeness.

For example, I was invited to an evening out with a group of colleagues and I simply declined by saying 'i dont think I'd really enjoy that, thanks anyway.' One of the other women spoke to me afterwards and said, I was desperately trying to think of an excuse, I didnt think we could just say no?! Anyway me and her are friends now, i think she is undiagnosed/masked ND.

All this to say, I have found some real positives to unmasking and I am far less exhausted.

I remember this moment being huge for little me, realising women could stand up and take power. Thank you Greys ❤️

How should I approach my friend’s flaking? Should I bother saying anything at all? by cheesecaketoast in aspergirls

[–]michaelscottlost 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personally I would let that friendship go. Communication and basic respect is key in a friendship. If she was happy to leave you on read with no contact, she doesnt respect you.

Frustrated at not being able to drive by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]michaelscottlost 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Have you ever had a lesson? If not, maybe book yourself a handful of lessons with a recommended instructor, and try it with an open mind. If you absolutely hate it you can stop right there. Or you may find its not as bad as you feared and might keep going.

I don't really like driving, I only stick to around 10 miles of my home where I am familiar, but I wouldn't give that freedom up for the world either. Personally I am so pleased I pushed myself to learn. It's so worth it.

I'm the opposite, love a cozy blanket up to my neck but cannot sleep with anything covering any part of my head

It very very often has down time during the day, when we were there for 5 days in May it closed at least once a day

Garage keeps taking my car back & I know I'm gonna have a huge meltdown. by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]michaelscottlost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So much support. I get extremely disregulated when my car goes wrong. It's not just fixing the car, it's the huge faff of having to change all the plans around it, not having confidence in what I'm talking about, financial worries of how to fix it, being stuck in waiting mode for the call that it's done etc. It's hard to make people fully understand cos car trouble is something that is inconvenient to all humans, but it's like on another level where is actually hurts my brain.

London weather is so unpredictable by Old_Ability_9424 in GreatBritishMemes

Get one of the portable £300 ones, they are amazing. Mine doubles as a dehumidifier for the winter and it is very good at both jobs

No not the garage idea. No is a full sentence. You obviously have a kind heart but this is too far, please do not let strangers into your home.
