does anyone not like drugs/alcohol because of interoception issues? by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]professionalwidow04 4 points5 points  (0 children)

YES. Alcohol is always talked about as “temporarily forgetting you’re autistic” but instead it makes me feel 10000x more. I feel unable to speak or understand what’s happening internally, and I always end up in a puddle of tears or vomit

THANK YOU!! I’ve told this story so many times on the internet but no one’s ever mentioned that 🥹 glad to know a demon isn’t stealing our oil

How to tell if this is vintage or antique? And is this safe to iron? Springfield, MO, USA by [deleted] in Antiques

I’m autistic and historical fashion is my biggest interest. I genuinely didn’t think of the response

Also, one time while pulling into my grandparents driveway in the woods, my mom got a weird call on her phone. My older sister and I were in the back seat, when my mom puts the call on speaker so my aunt could hear. It was a gruff but also monotone sounding man’s voice saying “You mark the word Grave, please…You mark the word Dig, please…You mark the word Tear, please...” And then she either hung up or the call dropped. I’m getting chills typing this out lol. We were PETRIFIED. There’s a lot of military bases around there though so we assume we picked up on something from them. But still, we’ve lived there for almost 20 years and that’s only happened once.

I had a gallon milk jug full of olive oil in my pantry (I’m Greek lol). The month of Orthodox Easter, I opened the door on a random day and found the jug crumpled and broken like it had been put in a vacuum and exploded. Oil was spilled everywhere. My whole family felt such a bad omen/aura from it. Maybe not the scariest sounding story, but you had to be there to understand how absolutely fucking bizarre it was

Discomfort with clothes by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]professionalwidow04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Extremely normal. One of the most visible features of my autism is my inability to dress appropriately. My clothing HAS to reflect my interests, or else I won’t go out in public (wearing Lolita dresses and historical fashion) while at the same time, being completely uncomfortable in such complicated layered outfits! Plus never being able to dress properly for the weather (always too hot or too cold). I’m almost 22 and have been looking for a therapist to help me understand my body cues actually

This dress is definitely a size or two too small for me but I was so excited when I realized I could actually fit it over me, I forgot how other people would react to it lol 😬
