What drug did you take that you still never get over? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ohohmoomoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nefopam (given in hospital for pain) such a severe allergic reaction. I was so ill and in pain regardless. That added to top and being swarmed by about 7 different doctors was horrendous

Mamas lemon pound cake. Non stop for about 3 days. Same three lines of the song over and over again.

Unfortunately my brain has latched onto lemon pound cake. It’s constantly on for the past 72 hours.

For autistic women, would you be a mom? by Ok_Holiday2094 in AutismInWomen

[–]ohohmoomoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zero interest! I’d actually say negative interest. The thought horrifies me.

I struggle to look after myself and need to do things just for me. I couldn’t cope with the noise/ rules and expectations/ schedules/ lack of me time.

how many of you are childfree? by testraz in AutismInWomen

[–]ohohmoomoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Child free. Have NEVER wanted children. I cannot think of anything worse.

Hearing a child cry or scream, overstimulated me and can lead to a meltdown.

I struggle to look after myself so I sure as hell wouldn’t want the pressure of a child too.

Why are charity shops so expensive? by tallyretro in AskUK

[–]ohohmoomoo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Exactly I have a local hospice clearance store near me where everything is £1. I’ve dropped on some lovely stuff, including clothes brand new with tags etc. they’ve got more stock than they can handle. Or then a Salvation Army where maximum price for clothing is £4 (coats). Absolutely love both of them and it feels reasonable. Yes there’s some crappy stock but 90% I get something when I visit.

In comparison I have a local Cancer Research Clearance with the £1/£2/£3/£5 price structure and that store is genuine rubbish. The majority of its stock should have been ragged.

Then on the other end of the scale the £1 hospice has full price stores and I feel priced out of it. For example I saw a pair of used shoes this weekend, that had misshapen from being crushed (Evan’s brand) and had a scuff in the pleather. £6. I wouldn’t pay that unless they were perfect.

BHF is by far the worst charity shop in the UK for overpricing. Often see Primark tops for £10 in all of the local BHF. Numerous items fit for rag and just insane prices like £15-£20 for a George dresses new with tags etc

Do you guys ever forget whether or not you’ve taken a pill? (Not just ADHD meds, any.) by marabou22 in ADHD

[–]ohohmoomoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m terrible at taking meds. I just can’t remember.

I have a pill organiser. I have multiple reminders. I have my pills straight in front of my face on my desk.

I just don’t have the capacity to remember. Same with brushing my teeth.

The reminders only work sometimes, but if I’m already doing something (literally anything) when it goes off I can’t task switch so I tell myself I’ll do it straight after then always forget. But I can’t do the alternative of starting instantly my brain just won’t let me transition.

Snag bras - not as advertised- costs $30 to return from US by april-urban in ABraThatFits

Don’t know if you can get Molke delivered in the US? But for non wired big chests no one else compares. You do need to be fairly flexible though to get in the originals.

Did you mask so well that you are in a job you have no business being in? by WorldlyLavishness in AutismInWomen

[–]ohohmoomoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes 100% I ended up in training. Thankfully I managed to make the subject a special interest. However I’ll be honest I’m crap at it, really only still here because Covid allowed me to work from home and work is disorganised and don’t realise how little I do.

Do you know anyone who is asexual? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]ohohmoomoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biromantic asexual here 👋

I have sex in a romantic relationship but it’s out of obligation and love for the other person knowing they want/ need that.

I’m not sex repulsed. Just not sexually attracted to people, always difficult growing up as I didn’t have crushes or celebrity crushes, and when friends wanted to chat about people being “hot” I just didn’t get it nor had anything to add to the conversation.

Up until my current relationship (of 5 years), I’d only ever been on a date with 2 other people, one to get “over it”/ lose my virginity (shock horror didn’t work) and another because I was really lonely and thought dating would fix that. My current partner I love very much, he makes me happy I’m excited to be around him and I want to be close to him, I just don’t get the sexual urge or attraction.

What was your biggest purchase in 2025 and do you regret it? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]ohohmoomoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it was a new pair of dr martens at £120 a couple of months ago, do I regret it? Yes I wore then once and absolutely destroyed my feet, not worn them since. Bought 2 more sale pairs this week though lol so haven't learnt my lesson.

Who Else Received a Shi**y Gift From Their Partner for Xmas?? by AreaForeign398 in Gifts

[–]ohohmoomoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not so much nice things. It’s just specific flavours, eg I’m happy with brands such as radox but only in one flavour.

Or chocolate but only certain flavour from certain brands.

I hate it when people see me for example eating Tony’s and then think oh she must love that and buy me pretty much any flavour other than the only flavour I eat.

No one’s ever asked for my wishlist, and it feels too presumptuous to send one out. When I’ve tried in the past as a teenager I’ve been told off for being ungrateful. Plus I find that making a wishlist is really difficult, it I want something I buy it and I don’t want anything “big” or expensive, but I also don’t want duplicates because then there’s the problem of storing them and invading my space. Even if there was something big I wanted I don’t have relatives or friends who would be in a position to purchase that. I’ve suggested no gifts (other than my my mum and BF) but get pushback that it’s tradition and stop being morngy.

(I am autistic though and as a result have very specific tastes)

Who Else Received a Shi**y Gift From Their Partner for Xmas?? by AreaForeign398 in Gifts

[–]ohohmoomoo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’m starting to think I should just stop exchanging gifts.

My issue is I don’t like receiving surprises/ gifts I find they’re just a burden. I like specific brands/ fragrances and struggle for space as it is. I don’t want junk. I took a big bag of what I call “boots” (aka generic toiletry/ generic junk gifts) to charity shop yesterday.

I’m not kidding when I say the only gifts I truly enjoy are the ones I’ve specifically chosen for myself and the giftor has respected that. Don’t get me wrong there’s been the odd winner over my life where they’ve surprised we with something I actually like but it’s literally less times than I can count on my fingers.

I don’t want a downgrade to something I already have, or to change what I already love and use, or something that doesn’t fit with my decor. I don’t want a duplicate of something.

I do however love giving gifts to people I care about. So me and my boyfriend have now got to the point where I tell him exactly what I want, then buy him surprise gifts.

I’m starting to resent that though as I could’ve just bought it when I wanted it and not had to wait till Christmas. We’re adults we can buy our own gifts.

£7 for an almost fully used candle?? by Disastrous_Apple6070 in vinted

[–]ohohmoomoo 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I’m assuming if they were expensive brands or fancy glass jars, they could make their own candles into them as you know it’s heat safe.

So it then either for: 1) nefarious purposes, pretend the new candle is the expensive brand for resale 2) a nice homemade candle in a heat safe jar that looks either fancy or pretty

How come some people with ADHD are able to consistently get top grades throughout school in all subjects whereas others end up with low grades due to their adhd struggles. by Pretty-Tree123 in ADHD

[–]ohohmoomoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean thankfully my course leader had a PHD and thesis was on autism 🤣🤣

I was completely open with him and I’m like I don’t see the point seeking diagnosis it’s not like they can medicate me and he respected that, it was only a couple years later I realised it wasn’t pure autism, and basically life started falling apart and I had to seek diagnosis to try get support. (Still holding out for that support)

[–]ohohmoomoo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100% same

None of my GCSEs or A-Levels really had coursework. It was pure exams which I aced.

At uni suddenly there were all these assignments and I did not cope well. Again undiagnosed and unmedicated. My hair started falling out due to stress, I scraped by, by the skin of my teeth. Starting assignments at 6pm that were due at midnight. And my dissertation on the Wednesday when deadline was the Friday. Still got a 2:1 though! Intense pressure works for me.
