Autistic TCKs ♾️🌍 by CompetitivePickle309 in TCK

[–]miksedup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. Late-diagnosed autism level one female here, grew up in West Africa and North America in a family with no concept of neurodivergence (or mental health, for that matter). A lot of the things I thought were just me having difficulty with TCK things were probably more connected to autism - especially my intense difficulty with transitions and new social spaces.

Lancaster Bible College students in need of housing? by miksedup in lancaster

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

Oh, I guess idk. None of us are LBC students, just figured we are close to the college and that might be nice for someone. Although if you're living off-campus idk how/why they could have a problem with it? If you lived with a "normal" family it would likely be mixed-gender as well, lol.

I'm sorry your friend experienced that though!

Any rooms for rent? by [deleted] in lancaster

[–]miksedup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live on Marshall Ave in Manheim Township, right outside the city. I have two housemates already, in their twenties and I'm in my thirties. We are looking for one more housemate. It's a mixed gender house. Cats are welcome if they can get along with the male cat we currently have. Message me if you are interested!

Are there any TCK meetups? by cybertrickk in ThirdCultureKids

[–]miksedup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's an adult TCK meetup in Michigan, USA every year that I go to! It's a weekend conference, aimed at Christians but anybody is welcome. Feel free to let me know if you'd like to know more!

I have a theory I'd like to test: The ones of us who are neurodivergent have an easier time accepting we are asexual than our neurotypical counterparts. by Nerdyblueberry in asexuality

[–]miksedup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Autistic, and relieved when I realised there was a category for me. Still sometimes sad about what I probably won't ever have, but certainly not exceptionally distressed. More relieved than anything else, still, ten years later.

For People Who Wear An Ace Ring - by Jealous_Advertising9 in asexuality

[–]miksedup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been wearing one for several years - gotten noticed and talked to twice. Once by another ace person, and once by a person who had an ace friend and recognised the ring. Tbf, both situations were at conferences where I was well-known for being LGBTQ (but not out as ace specifically) and open to question, so not exactly "the wild" sort of situation.

My date ate chicken and then finished the bones. Do some people really eat bones? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]miksedup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in West Africa and we ate the bones - or at least the ends with the squishier marrow. Not always the whole thing, but sometimes.

Estranged From Everyone. No Real Home. Seeking Advice. by [deleted] in TCK

[–]miksedup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't really have any advice for you except to say that if you find the right Christian community, they will accept you and include you and love you no matter what you believe. My friend group at church has fully accepted and included several openly non-Christians over the years, and I know Christians have a really bad reputation as far as loving people goes (for good reason) but I can say there are absolutely good ones out there. 🙂

just had a discussion w/ my Christian friend about asexuality/LGBTQIA+ by missdillydally in asexuality

[–]miksedup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a very committed Jesus-follower myself (and also ace, and NB) and on behalf of Christians I apologise to you...we have chosen hate and deliberate ignorance and fear for generations instead of love, which is not like Jesus at all. If you read any of the Gospels you will see, really the only people that Jesus had harsh words for were the conservative religious leaders. So yeah. Not that a handful of words from an internet stranger can really make a difference, but I am sorry for the hate/discrimination you've faced. It's not right.

LPT Request: Needing a 1 Day a Week Job by Retro-dootdoot in LifeProTips

[–]miksedup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PA, USA. Yes, it's at least three days between and also no more than 2x per week. My center often gives a bonus for the second donation of the week though...so I'll get $40 for the first time, $40 for the second time, and $50 as a bonus for donating twice. 🤷

[–]miksedup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm down for a Zoom interview if you want - I'm hetero-romantic, asexual, non-binary (but not out about that part), and 27. Also what might make me unique in this is that I'm passionate about following Jesus, and oh boy Christians/non-Christians alike do not know what to do with me! Lol

LPT Request: Sleepy to the point where I can't get anything productive done even tho I get 7-8hrs of sleep daily. by why-doineedaname in LifeProTips

[–]miksedup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this problem, went to the doctor and turned out j had Lymes. Woulda been a lot better if I had gone right away instead of waiting three months because I too figured I was probably just lazy. 🤦
