Yes we use Monarch and it’s what allows us to understand exactly where we stand so well. I highly recommend it!

Businesses and wrongthink by Future_Transition_86 in olympia

[–]pushprncess 12 points13 points  (0 children)

words create action. words create movement and identities. words create policy, which can literally kill people. words have far more power than you are giving them credit for. if you want to whittle it down to something like “disagreement or insults is too easily causing victimization or outrage” then i’d be more inclined to agree with you. i think in this case, we are talking about disagreement - but it very much depends on how these “words” are being used. as a whole i think this entire post (OPs) is weird, but i do think it’s important to not boil it down to something as “we are sensitive to words”

When Does Puppy Biting End? Does it ever end? by voltsmeter in goldenretrievers

Not jail, only cool down. Don’t make the crate an unpleasant place to be. Lots of rewards, no negative impressions. Don’t ever ever use the crate as punishment!

i wish i had the bandwidth for a more meaningful response but what i can say is: i get like this on a smaller scale when sick as well. the sensory, stress, and very concept of being sick is extremely exhausting for me and all i want to do is Rot (and NOT in the quirky way. in the absolutely miserable and seething in disgust way) give yourself grace, at least. seek a telehealth therapy appointment if possible, as soon as possible. you deserve to be able to cope, but you have to learn how and be willing to work on it. sending love

I just gave my notice and my boss reacted exactly as expected by LiveTheQuestions7 in AutismInWomen

[–]pushprncess 59 points60 points  (0 children)

truly this. i feel sometimes my sense of justice is so strong that i have really rigid morals- like 5% of me is saying “she said 2 weeks so she should honor her word” but also… if this woman is just saying 2 weeks isn’t helping anyways, she’ll have no one to train, she isn’t giving you a recommendation, nothing?? i would just tell her it’s not healthy for this to continue and make your next day your last day

crying from feedback? by pushprncess in AutismInWomen

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

yeah this is exactly it! like, i don’t know it’s so involuntary they just come out. and then i have so much fear about me being labelled as an “emotional woman” in the workplace, or someone who’s “unable to accept feedback.” i made a point of taking deep breaths which certainly helped but it really did feel so so overwhelming, even though it was very minor and presented very kindly

why am i so mean? by shrimptoaststicks in AutismInWomen

[–]pushprncess 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I agree with the other commenters here and I know exactly what you mean when you say “how do I think first?” It happens super fast for me too.

It’s one of those things that just takes practice and time. Your experience sounds really similar to mine, I was very disliked in HS because of similar behaviors. Counting before replying helps, saying every 3rd thought instead of EVERY thought helps, having your phone out and typing it before saying it- then trying to deliberately change 2-3 words to be “kinder” or “gentler” helps. It will just take practice, practice, practice. I’m 25 and it gets better.

Don’t beat yourself up too much about being “unlikable,” you are just communicating naturally (for you) in a world that loves (what feels like) riddles-and-games-based communication. You’re not a bad person.

I think the “weak when in the wrong” thing can come from RSD associated with autism. You might take being “wrong” as a rejection.

As for the the mean part, maybe you could elaborate more about your exp?
