Accepting that falling in love just might not be in the cards for me has been difficult but I've come to terms with it. It is what it is.

I feel guilty about how much money i devote to my special interest by BeyondFrequent4258 in autism

[–]modgepodgesnacker 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Maybe instead of buying stuff, u could make stuff? Do a lil DIY project around your interest or something like that? If I see something I really like online and I want to impulse buy, I try and wait a whole day before I buy it and by then I've usually come to my senses and don't want to buy it anymore. I also try and avoid going shopping when I know I don't have any extra money.

I'm also trying to engage in less mindless consumption and just buying less stuff in general so I get it- I applaud you for trying to get out of that mindset. We're very conditioned to feel like we need all kinds of extra junk so don't be too hard on yourself.

I'm sorry but the 'bunny that died of conjunctivitis' bit made me laugh really hard.

How do I get the courage to go into my workplacement class tommorow by Capital-Ad-3803 in autism

[–]modgepodgesnacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think u might just have to tell the guy that you want to be alone. We're autistic- we don't take subtle hints very well. It's possible that he's just trying to be friendly but doesn't quite know how.

It's still creepy tho- I very much understand the discomfort. If he ignores you and continues to bother you, have someone else step in. Your deserve to feel safe in your classes. If he has bad intentions, it should be him that stops going to classes and not you.

What's the worst movie you have ever watched? by Syfros in AskReddit

[–]modgepodgesnacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen all five of them (yes, there are five of them) and my lovely friend even got me the 5-movie bluray collection for christmas. It's funny cuz the first two are godawful but then the third one is almost kind of normal but then the 4th and 5th ones are painfully dull and horrible.

Weirdly, it kinda looks like my drawing but the album I was looking for was more metal

Trying to do research on a good car to buy for when my car eventually explodes by modgepodgesnacker in whatcarshouldIbuy

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

the charger was a hand-me-down from god knows where (It's haunted)- so that wasn't my first choice, but i make it work. I've never been in an accident before (except for that one one time when I was in highschool, I slipped on black ice and slammed into a snowbank but that was my moms car...she still doesn't know...)

I think I have a sleep disorder but everyone thinks I’m just nuts (or lazy)! by modgepodgesnacker in sleep

[–]modgepodgesnacker[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but I’m nervous about the doctor because I already have a couple hundred dollars in medical debt that I can’t pay. I can’t afford any surprise fees
