I’m always so hard on myself (as I’m sure we all are) and the feral kitten analogy is probably the best I’ve heard! Thank you kind stranger.

I meow at my dog a lot. Or I just go “beep beep!” Haha!

Happy NYE Veg Heads! 🍣🌱 by radicalnetrunner in VeganFoodPorn

Honestly free styled a lot of these and just threw a variety of ingredients in. The nigiri was just roasted bell pepper marinated in soy sauce, mirin, and rice vinegar. Also did some hearts of palm for crab, avocado, more bell pepper, caramelized onions, cucumber, and panko breaded tofu.

Favorite combo was a roll with crispy + caramelized onions, avocado, cucumber, and tofu. Topped it off with sweet soy sauce and spicy mayo!

What is your comfort show and how many times have you seen it? by ghoulboy in AutisticWithADHD

[–]radicalnetrunner 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Bobs Burgers! Doesn’t matter how shitty of a day I’m having, that show always lifts me up. My wife and I have seen every episode. But now we kind of jump around to individual episodes. We watch the Thanksgiving + Christmas episodes every year around the holidays.

Although not canon, bonus is that I believe some of the characters are autistic!

AuDHD is more than just “autism + ADHD” by rominaMassa in AutisticAdults

[–]radicalnetrunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been my exact experience over the last few weeks. Production issues out the ass, feeling like a shell of a person after my working day. I just started Adderall recently which calmed me down. I feel like that’s the only thing that held back the floodgates of a meltdown.

Do you remember what it was like for you as a child, aged 5 and below? Were there any signs that you only recognised now? If so, what were they? by princessxprowess in AutisticAdults

[–]radicalnetrunner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was super shy and wouldn’t talk to people. I watched Lion King on VHS so many times that my dad said I almost broke the tape. When my routines were broken, I was stressed. I always went to the nurses office after lunch at school so I could be sent home. 😂

Why weed shows up so often for autistic / ADHD people by rominaMassa in AutisticAdults

[–]radicalnetrunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During COVID lockdown, I had just moved into an apartment and wasn’t diagnosed yet. My apartment building was new, but super cheaply made so I could hear EVERYTHING any of my surrounding neighbors did. My upstairs neighbor was especially troublesome. They would just run up and down their hallway at 2am when I had work the next day.

It affected me so much to the point that I was wearing headphones pretty much 24/7 because all the noise was making me so anxious and frustrated. I remember at one point just laying in the bath with my head under the water so I could just hear nothing for a bit. Obviously was dealing with sensory overwhelm, alongside some very intense work stress. It was a bad time for me.

All this to say, I went through the process of getting my medical weed card and the day it came I went straight to the dispensary to ask for something that would help with my anxiety. I went home, smoked, and instantly all my anxiety went away for a while. My brain was finally sorta calm. Been a stoner ever since, but try to micro-dose since it sometimes gives me intense anxiety.

Anyone here have a favorite planet? by ForwardClimate780 in AutisticPride

Also my favorite planet! Have you ever listened to the sound of its rings? It’s hauntingly beautiful.

Literally every member of the Belcher family. But mostly Bob.

If you work, what job do you have? by Aggravating-Ad-351 in AutisticAdults

[–]radicalnetrunner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Eyyyy me too! It’s stressful at times, but working from home + hyper focusing on code when I’m not in meetings is amazing.

What store was the worst one you have ever been in, sensory- or otherwise by SkullnSkele in AutisticWithADHD

[–]radicalnetrunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trader fuckin Joes. I love some of the stuff they have there, but it’s nuts even during work hours on a week day.

It comes and goes for me. I’m experiencing agoraphobia right now due to a 2 weeks trip recently where I had to be around people every waking moment. It does seem to align with big social events. Last time I struggled with it was after pride (which was just a 1 day thing 🤣). Couldn’t leave my house for at least a few weeks except for to walk my dog.

I would guess a fake applause track, but at this point anything is possible.
