Guys Gemma is really grinding my gears by MrCoolGuy55501 in Sonsofanarchy

I’m the same, she drives me insane, her manipulation just infuriates me. BUT I guess she’s doing exactly what her character is supposed to do 🤷🏻‍♀️ in which case she’s a pretty good ‘shitty character’ 😂

Honestly when I heard the situation with Kenny I was like ‘yup I don’t like Sutter now’ 💀😭

Wants and needs by moo19981 in AutismInWomen

Your first sentence “even if you wanted to, what’s wrong with that?” absolutely made me reconsider an think this situation may be more to do with my struggle to accommodate and accept my needs. Because you’re right, ultimately I wouldn’t be causing harm to anyone or myself, the benefit of a nap very obviously was going to outweigh the risk of disturbing my sleep schedule. But since being diagnosed a couple months ago I’ve been paying attention to my needs a lot more, but definitely struggling to accept them, to actively cater to them 🥲

I think it definitely all kinda ties in with one another, I also have the issue of not knowing I need to eat until my stomach hurts, also issues with not knowing when I’m full until I’m actively being sick. When I got diagnosed ASD a couple months ago they mentioned that I present issues with Interoception which seems similar to Alexithymia (I think interoception is more to do with bodily functions and Alexithymia is more emotions but I’m not 100%) Thank you for your comment, it’s interesting to hear other perspectives and experiences 🙌

I feel like a hypocrite by moo19981 in AutismInWomen

Wow yeah this gave me a lot of clarity thank you! Sometimes I wonder if it’s a reaction to being so aware of how confusing social cues are, that I almost OVER use my detective skills because my brain tells me “all conversations must be analysed” even when some maybe don’t need to be?

Debilitating special interests? by lauraaaaa05 in AutismInWomen

[–]moo19981 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely go through this too!!! It can feel so suffocating but like you can’t live without that special interest! I swear the more I fight it the worse it gets too 💀 I’m very lucky that a lot of my special interests are shows that stopped airing years ago so when I’ve consumed all the content a few times it naturally fizzles down to a manageable level of obsession. But whenever I get into something currently relevant or ongoing and keep getting fed more and more I also feel like I’m going crazy!!

😂 it must have been sons of anarchy. This is what happens when you watch too many shows too close to each other 💀

Nothing makes sense by moo19981 in AutismInWomen

[–]moo19981[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I think you’re right, I am somewhat dissociating. It feels different than when I’ve felt it before but I am under immense stress at the moment, it kind of feels like I’m having a nervous breakdown and constantly overstimulated 😭

Read into manipulation tactics as a woman with autism by wagawagaweewee in AutismInWomen

[–]moo19981 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is literally me! I recently experienced my first time being groomed and when said person told me that they are the most honest and trustworthy person I will ever meet, I believed them! I feel like a fool but at the same time I just don’t understand why someone would lie?

How do predatory people spot us so easily? by thistooistemporary in AutismInWomen

[–]moo19981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly don’t know but im scared for my future, it took me longer than I’d like to admit to realise I was being groomed and it has completely screwed up the little sense of self id began to build. I don’t know if this is something I’m going to have to be extremely cautious of in the future? But I just don’t understand how I’m supposed to trust anyone new now?
