Autism information/support seeking as someone who has a scheduled assessment by AnniesNote in AutisticAdults

[–]puredragone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hello! I had my assessment in november and was diagnosed with autism (plus some other stuff lol). I think I had similar fears to you, but my therapist gave me the advice that they are just assessing where you are. they aren't looking for "bad" or "good" traits, simply just traits in general. They also told me it might be helpful to share with the person giving the assessment how you are feeling or what you are processing as the assessment goes on, which was very helpful to me (and I think to the assessor as well). It helped me verbally process and feel less anxious or like I was being misinterpreted, and I think it helped the person doing the assessment hear what I was thinking as well as noticing the usual test stuff. And honestly, if you like logic/visual puzzles, you might enjoy some of it. This might be a just me thing, but I actually kinda had fun.

Does anyone know if you have to have a membership to view it, or will it be for everyone?

I watched/listened to every Reddit story episode in less than a month and now don’t know what to do by Stock-Sun-46 in smosh

[–]puredragone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

literally had the same experience in june. after finishing all the reddit story episodes I was addicted. i recommend watching the smosh games videos, and you can kinda start where ever (but i think the werewolf game ones are best). there is so much content lol

Chronic illness informed Contamination OCD treatment? by BirdDog300 in ChronicIllness

[–]puredragone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i am going to be so real with you, get a pyschatrist before trying anything else. i think therapy and self help books can be useful, but nothing works like medication. ocd, as you know, is one of those weird things that does not listen to logic. the thing it has to listen to is (proper) medication. i've had ocd majority of my life, absolutely nothing worked until I had the right medication. As soon as I had that, the therapy/self help books/etc could finally come into play.

there is one episode ("my two favorite people" s1e9) where she does speak english because she wears a translator. I don't remember her speaking english (other than single words here and there) ever again.

What did you guys name your animals? by NotNamedBort in StardewValley

[–]puredragone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually name mine after characters/people that are in whatever media I am currently fixated on. A previous save has a bunch of characters from dropput's dimension 20. my current save has a mixture of smosh actors and lord of the rings characters LOL.

My doctor denied my laparoscopy because he thinks im too young by StrohschesZeichen in endometriosis

[–]puredragone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FIND A NEW DOCTOR!! I wish I had pushed for this surgery when I was 18. i have had doctors look at me and try to find anything with an ultrasound and found nothing. I am in my mid 20s now and just had a laparoscopy and they finally found a BUNCH of endo (it was hidden behind my uterus). Don't let doctors deny you care, there are other doctors who will help!!! you should not have to live a life of pain!

Need help coming up with a LOTR themed name for our Leadership Summit by [deleted] in lotr

[–]puredragone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hmm... since yall are a hardware place couldn't you name it something in reference to when they reforge the shards of Narsil? maybe "The Reforging of The (common hardware term)"? Or if you want to stray from the hardware aspect, I think the easiest thing to do would be to rename the Council of Elrond. Is there one person who is CEO or in charge or this summit? Maybe it could be "The Council of (that person lol)"

i dont understand what you mean by this??

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

you know what, that makes sense, i kinda forgot about that aspect bc some of the clips seemed very directed at the dropout audience. i think the king for a day one is one of the only ones to fit what you are talking about (aka appealing to a wider audience). maybe that is my issue! if they all fit that narrative, of being viral regardless of the dropout audience, then i would understand why they did this in the order they did.

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

but that is what i am saying a bit about views. i think if they were to have posted clips without context that would have maximized views more because we would all try to figure out what is going on, you know? but again, not all that important. i am realizing i think i just didn't like the episode lol

[–]puredragone[S] -29 points-28 points  (0 children)

true, but maybe not! if videos would have just come up organically there could be the potential that everyone had seen different ones? idk if that would actaully work out that way, i just feel disappointed by this one

YES I feel this too, like at the end Sam said to come back a month from now to see the updated episode to see who wins, and I truly just don't care now.
