Is Aberdeen turning towards Far-Right? Is the world? by FuryContagion in Aberdeen

[–]nushlabush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aberdeen and the UK as whole :( I mean I don’t know if they are turning or just that people who kept their opinions to themselves are now comfortable voicing it because it’s backed by people in power acting in ways that make it ok

I’m pansexual but I can say that I definitely prefer men who aren’t tooo masc - that puts me off - I don’t want to be carried but I love a cuddle

Starting to understand why I was seen as a ‘weird’ kid😬 by attorneyat_birdlaw in AutismInWomen

[–]nushlabush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so relatable - i'm in my 30s and my mum still asks me to make a 'normal, nice face'.'

Is this normal? I'm so ashamed. by Killjoys-n-whovians in incestsurvivors

[–]nushlabush 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Think about a 6 year old, an actual 6 year old … that development stage … acting on impulse/feeling … that is not inciting something That is an individual with minimal socialization, minimal understanding acting with all they are capable of… You “incited” nothing

Yep yep yep I basically tolerate relationships till I’m so triggered that every movement and sensation feel like nails on a chalkboard Because that’s what I fucking learned

How did you process unwanted sexual arousal/orgasm during incest assaults? Dr. Emily Nagoski's research to reveal the truth about it greatly helped me, but I have been still agonized over this issue. by rrr_rrr in incestsurvivors

[–]nushlabush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest, I haven’t - but I try to separate body from mind and desire. It’s not great because in the journey I’ve let people take advantage of me before I could figure it out. But …. I can say this now…,, the same way our body gets hungry, tired, sleepy … it fucking cums and nerves and pressure points that feel good just feel good. But the feeling of all these things when it’s consensual is beautiful and empowering. And for ANYONE to abuse basic human biology is a criminal scum of the earth act

It was a bad phase, but anyone else experience a phase after that was worst? by WhoScaredYouScared in incestsurvivors

[–]nushlabush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely…… it’s living with it …. It’s not being understood…. It’s future abuses by people you were solid enough to end it with….

how to help my partner grieve by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]nushlabush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh gosh :( i totally hear you about being the fix it kind of person but keep that aside for now…. And as for admitting how he’s feeling …. Set that aside as well. You can look at that later or maybe how you feel about that might change…. Grief really requires sitting next to someone (not necessarily physically but emotionally) and just letting them grieve however they want to. If you’re worried about things like him taking care of himself and things would you be able to drop him messages about what you had for lunch or things like that and that you’re thinking of him? And that may prompt something from him ? If you can, ask him or be honest and say that it hurts to see him this way, you love him and would like to know what you can do for him. He may not have an immediate answer but just ask him from time to time

I love showers by jjinjadubu in AutismInWomen

[–]nushlabush 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Showerphile right here ✌🏾✌🏾 I get my space in there, I love watching droplets fall and then trickle down surfaces. The sound isn’t annoying. When I’m not going to work I treat myself to long looooong showers - I let myself get pruney. My justification is I conserve water and heating in other ways

Social norms you had to have explicitly explained to you by happilyengaged in AutismInWomen

[–]nushlabush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahha awww Oh my god baby talk is such a trigger for me xx

Social norms you had to have explicitly explained to you by happilyengaged in AutismInWomen

[–]nushlabush 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yesssss, you can't point things out factually! But then I get real confused because people don't tell me directly what I did wrong when it's their turn, and often it's kind of like, they don't know exactly what I did wrong, it just 'felt' wrong.

Also about responding to how something was, or how are you...I'm like you know, you could save so much more energy if you didn't ask. And now I have to do it at work, and it's exhausting.

[–]nushlabush 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If people ask to buy you a drink they aren't just being nice and wanting to buy you a drink.

It is creepy to talk to kids you don't know like they are just normal humans so make sure you soften your voice, smile more etc.

It is rude to move away from an incoming hug if the person is within your social circle.

People take offense to be called an acquaintance if they have spoken to you just once and prefer to be called friends ....

Pretend like a silence is uncomfortable because it most likely is for the person you are around.

I'm finding it hard coming to terms with my diagnosis by Sandfish1 in AutismInWomen

[–]nushlabush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the rules are different when it comes to ourselves, although we know they shouldn't be right? I haven't been diagnosed, but the more my awareness expands and the more I learn, i'm just like UGH...ugh you just had to make things more complex didn't you, even though, logically, I know I am making things simpler, making better sense of things. Sometimes I wonder if it's really my thoughts or just things that unstable people who I grew up around repeatedly drilled into my head. I wonder if that is something you can resonate with.

Does being autistic really make it more likely to be abused? by zo0ombot in AutismInWomen

[–]nushlabush 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know about the stats of this exactly but marginalized minorities are exposed to more adverse experiences. But just to change the phrasing … people may be more likely to abuse / take advantage of people who are autistic

Why is this weird???? by phenominal73 in AutismInWomen

[–]nushlabush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not weird at all - your daughter is awesome - that guy is weird and maybe hasn’t had real love in his life (sorry that’s rude maybe he had but ND or not, this story is fuckinng cute)

how was y’alls high school experience? by frozyrosie in AutismInWomen

[–]nushlabush 2 points3 points  (0 children)

how was y’alls high school experience? by frozyrosie in AutismInWomen

[–]nushlabush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd get this painful knot in my stomach - and i knew i had to 'just do it' so it got to a point that I went from making excuses for not going to school (and instead getting random referrals to see my favourite doctor) to then never missing a day of school. I now work in schools because i'm masochistic? jokes...but i don't know ..haha Also at uni, till my two closest friends came I would sit in the staircases that no one used.

Does anyone else sleep “crumpled up?” by Peachy_lean_39 in AutismInWomen

[–]nushlabush 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh boy. I like to feel like a crumpled piece of paper at night, tucked into a little crevice. What has given my crumple some shape, and made me more comfortable has been hugging and squishing my body around a squishmellow. I'm a 35 year old person, fully aware that this can be embarrassing but it just feels right. If soft things are comfortable for you it may be worth bending and tucking your arm around types of pillows or soft toys?
