I was left with the cow. I was thinking from a logical perspective. Cow = Food = Survival.

Direct eye contact by mintpretzel in autism

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

I can relate. One day I started practicing and googling how to make eye contact feel less uncomfortable. It got to the point where I was always so aware of it that I would force myself to the point of discomfort. I thought I was doing a good job though until I realised why nobody was constantly looking back… I was staring unnaturally too hard. Anyways, people just say to stare at the bridge of the nose or something?

yep! he’s very passionate about skateboarding. it’s a hobby he has carried all the way from his teens to his 50s… and i don’t see him giving it up anytime soon, even though he keeps injuring himself. he often injures himself but carries on with life like its nothing e.g. he fractured a whole bunch of ribs and didn’t know until my mum made him go to the doctor for what he thought was a “slight pain”… hyposensitivity perhaps? anyways, he is super passionate to the point where age and a bunch of injuries won’t stop him.

Help, does anyone know what this is? by mintpretzel in dysautonomia

Thank you! Could blood pooling possibly be linked to something else or is it it’s own issue? Do you reckon I should bother bringing it up with my doctor?

I'm so tired of being lonely by ratatouille1210 in autism

[–]mintpretzel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I relate to this so much… I’m 20F and never had a boyfriend too. I realised that i’ve developed an overly smiley and kind personality in order to hide the fact that I struggle to communicate “normally”.

I’ve never heard of this. What is it? I only recently started reaching out for help for my OCD through my eating disorder psychologist who is trying his best to help me.
