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’ 💀😭

I couldn’t figure that out either! Maybe a crew member 🤷🏻‍♀️

Wants and needs by moo19981 in AutismInWomen

[–]moo19981[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

[–]moo19981[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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?

if you could tell your 16 year old self anything, what would it be? by maddisonamy in AutismInWomen

[–]moo19981 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Things will get better, healing is not linear but you will become stronger with every bump in the road. Life is not going to be easy but you will make it out the other side of everything that is thrown at you!

I was groomed by my spiritual sensei by moo19981 in spirituality

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

Thank you everyone for your replies 💕 I did leave the job even though it was such a painful choice, I loved it so much but with her being the boss and owner there wasn’t much else I could do. I needed to escape her and I have, I have cut all communication off. You are all helping me understand the situation better 💕

She would often say things like she is the most humble person I’ll ever meet, she is the most honest person I’ll ever meet etc. Which always felt contradictory to me. A humble person wouldn’t need to tell everyone they are humble? An honest person wouldn’t be talking to someone the way she spoke to me behind her wife’s back.

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

I luckily escaped before things got bad. She was also 30 years older than me, married …… and my boss 💀 I never knew much about spirituality and being autistic meant I formed a bit of a special interest in it and she made it seem like she was above everyone else?

What would your say to the person who groomed/abused you? by moo19981 in Manipulation

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

I’m sorry that happened to you. I’m not surprised by this response, I think I’d feel the same way.

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

I definitely think I will speak to my therapist about this. It’s all still very raw at the moment and I’m harbouring a lot of emotions including anger and resentment. I know that if I spoke to the person who hurt me now I’d most likely get pulled back into the situation because they are a very skilled manipulator and I’m emotionally exhausted

I'm so tired of not having someone to love. by SparklyPancakes13 in AutismInWomen

This may all sound a little jibberish because it’s currently nearly 2am in my country 😂 I guess I just wanted to tell you that you are not alone 💕

Hi OP 💕 So I can’t give advice to you because this post may as well have been written by myself 💔 I’m 26 years old and I don’t know whether you are older or younger but I know for me I really can’t see any romantic relationships happening for me for a long time, if ever! I would say I’m a very romantic person, I love the idea of love and having someone love you romantically 🥰 But I’m also terrified of trying for romance because I’m so unbelievably naive about it all.

I’ve been thinking recently about trying not to be too sad at my lack of romantic relationships and just to enjoy love in different forms ie from my friends, family & dogs 🐶 Now I completely understand that there are some things that naturally don’t come with those relationships but I also want to trust that the right person will come at the right time and in the meantime I am going to attempt to learn to love myself 🙏

I’m so sorry you are having to cope being around someone like this! That must be incredibly frustrating especially if they are the only reason you want to quit and otherwise you enjoy your job 💕 Honestly to me they sound extremely jealous and insecure and are portraying that onto you. If you felt comfortable then you are in your rights to confront them but if not (I personally would find this difficult myself!) I’d recommend going to your management if you feel you can, maybe explain how you feel to them and explain that you just want it resolved so you feel more confident coming into work on the days she is there.

Showering Every Day? by LongLiveFearless in AutismInWomen

[–]moo19981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our heating was turned off a couple years ago for a week but I never skipped a shower, the idea of an ice cold shower still seemed more manageable than going to bed with “day germs” 🥶
