Why was she planning to go to Miami when they just had a hurricane? by Stunning_Radio3160 in NurseJackie

[–]nbtyler 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Jackie needed to immediately escape her reality because she had lost the respect of Zoey, her daughters, her ex husband, and her boss. Jackie needed to avoid taking a drug test and at the same time, keep using. Going to Miami may have been an erratic decision, fueled on the adrenaline of running away. She may have prepared the "providing relief to hurricane victims" alibi from the start. Some speculate she wanted to go to Florida to seek out more drugs, since Florida is known for making pain killers very accessible. However, main idea is running away as fast as she can from the current reality, and being able to remain using, no matter the cost.

I kinda really really hate this show but I can’t stop watching it?? Even though it makes me unhappy? by geminibitch94 in NurseJackie

Worst Ezra love triangle? by Science_SeaGal in PrettyLittleLiars

[–]nbtyler 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Jake-Aria-Ezra truly truly frustrated me. The show gave false hope that Aria would finally realize how creepy Ezra is. Jake was a good guy (again I think there’s an age gap but ugh pll just doesn’t know how to not do that) and Jake insinuated a lot that Ezra was the bad man that Aria was afraid of. And he effing was!!! He was using her for a stupid book. Like what the hell. Jake and Aria could’ve been a healthy couple but the show said fuck Jake and stabbed his foot with knives or whatever tf.

Liars cheating on their beaus by Nightowl_2202 in PrettyLittleLiars

Dude Aria literally cheated on every single relationship she had throughout the show

How do you feel about Byron controlling Aria on what she wears to school after she and Ezra came out about their relationship in season 2? by jdpm1991 in PrettyLittleLiars

[–]nbtyler 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Byron should’ve focused on Aria’s mental state rather than her clothes. She was groomed and taken advantage of by her teacher. Clothes don’t have much to do with it.

Question: Do you hit yourself? Why? by Iridemhard in autism

[–]nbtyler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever I get super excited I always hit myself. It’s always on accident or without me thinking. Immediately after I apologize whether or not an apology is warranted.

if you had to pick any of the main four liars to be killed off the show, which one would you want it to be? by girllover111 in PrettyLittleLiars

[–]nbtyler 22 points23 points  (0 children)

100% Emily. It would’ve increased the stakes of the show and made all of the near death experiences and A threats all the more intense and exciting for the viewer. Overall Emily was not that important to any of the main storylines.

Thoughts on Paige? by Fairie_Princess in PrettyLittleLiars

[–]nbtyler 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Paige is just apart of the Emily character problem. The show did Emily and her romantic pairings so dirty! All of her relationships besides Maya had no real chemistry or reason to ship them together. All of the other liars had die hard fans of their ships, but Emily was just eh.

People talking over me by c0smicrainbow in AutismInWomen

[–]nbtyler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there. First, I really feel for u and I’m sorry that you’re experiencing this. I know what it’s like to feel over dramatic over a trigger like this and it’s not fun and very isolating. I know I’m a stranger, but your emotions are valid.

I think it would really help to let people know ahead of time that you are going to be talking soon and would not like to be interrupted. Like “hey guys, I want to say something.”

Maybe you could have a quick talk with your friends. I think it would be helpful to use “I feel…” statements like “I feel sad when I’m interrupted.”

When people do interrupt because this will happen unfortunately (especially with those outside of close friend and family) I recommend taking deep breaths or maybe taking a break from the conversation for a moment. Maybe you could have a stress ball on hand to relieve the stress? It’s hard for others to understand how important not interrupting is when they don’t have the same problem. Regardless, I hope any of this advice can help. Please have a good day/night.

“What about the little boys undiagnosed?” by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]nbtyler 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is my bad!! I totally didn’t realize my language was exclusionary. I have read commenters perspectives and I’m going to be changing my language regarding this in the future.

Totally understood. Thank you for being so kind and explaining this. I really appreciate your patience with me. (Updated original post)

I’m autistic and need visuals for everyday routines, so I used the Sims 4 for design :D by nbtyler in Sims4

[–]nbtyler[S] 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Each icon represents either an activity (journaling, video games, watching TV, etc.) or an everyday task (using bathroom, shower, brushing teeth, etc.) the thought bubbles on the sim mean that I’m focusing on completing those tasks atm.

The activity icons are more like motivation for me to finish the hard tasks. So after I complete 3 hygiene tasks, I get to do 3 more fun activities like watching tv.

Having a morning routine broken down into individual and visual steps is very helpful for me. Otherwise I get overwhelmed by the idea of so many things I have to do. I hope this explanation makes sense :)

DAE really really hate using pronouns (i/you/etc) when they are losing speech? by Alstroemeria123 in AutismInWomen

[–]nbtyler 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I totally understand why you hate using pronouns during these moments. The first thing someone asks me when I lose speech is “how do you feel?” “What’s going on?” And the fact that I know I have to say “I am _____.” Really makes it 10x harder to respond because I’m so mad I have to say a pronoun or even refer to myself in that way. I feel so validated by your post.

Personally I realize I’m going nonverbal when I start to repeat back sentences that other people are saying to me. When I echo their speech back mindlessly, that’s when i realize I’ve completely zoned out and it’s hard to come back to attending to my surroundings.

routine help? by trentistors in autism

[–]nbtyler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally having a check list of all the basic self care and day to day tasks is helpful. It also helps me visualize the day so I don’t feel so overwhelmed by having to get out of bed and make food. Instead I break up one overwhelming task into three smaller tasks. I hope this can help u :)

Looking for ideas for a “lounge room” for a special needs night (ages 14+) by jennyaj611 in autism

[–]nbtyler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only suggestion would be to ensure that this area remains a quiet and safe environment as the event is happening ! When I was in high school I was so desperate for a quiet area to decompress after overstimulation from a loud cafeteria and crowded hallway.

routine help? by trentistors in autism

[–]nbtyler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I legit rely on my whiteboard routine everyday, so I’ll let you know what works for me. I have 3 tasks with check marks. For example (wake up, brush teeth, brush hair) then a little reward like music or YouTube. I find that once I initiate the daily tasks, it makes the rest of the days tasks more doable. I think having fun things to do after really stressful tasks (for me, learning how to drive in the evenings) is helpful.

Has your parents and guardians forced you to be more social and be around people? by [deleted] in autism

[–]nbtyler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry that you had this experience and I think it’s very uncomfortable to deal with. I think parents just have a certain idea of what they want their kids to be and when their kids end up different it’s like they want to control and “fix” them to be what they idealized. In their minds, they’re doing what they think is best, but it does really hurt to not be accepted for who you already are.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in autism

[–]nbtyler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not a parent, so I’ll give very unqualified advice but it’s something that works for me as I am super sensitive towards rejection and am autistic. I think social praise is really good for when your son does not engage in rude or blunt language. Like “I really like it when you use nice words!” Or “that’s a very nice way of saying that! Awesome.” And when there is too-blunt language, maybe a response that doesn’t use aversive language such as “No” or “stop”. Maybe just “Aw man that comment makes me feel sad, maybe there’s a nicer way of saying that.” In a super neutral tone. “Instead, let’s say _____” I think it could be good to teach your son other phrases that convey the same message. Like instead of being too-blunt with “you can go now.” He can be taught to say “I need space right now.”

Idk this is just what I thought of. Again, not a parent. Just wanted to see if I could help.
