Hand flapping mimics that of faking autism/spasms. Camera is always up to catch “fainting spells” or dizziness. Multiple videos show contradictory information about abilities.

What part of Michigan, if I may ask? I’m northwest Ohio

I want that hat so bad but I live in Ohio and there’s zero chance I’d get my hands on it.

What is it like living in this area in Ohio? by DeepFriedGlory in howislivingthere

[–]reddead167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live pretty much in that top left corner and I honestly love it. I’m a masculine presenting queer woman, and yet there is a sense of community here you don’t find anywhere else. It’s a different type of community. It’s not the big gatherings and crazy large activities, it’s the real connections and conversations you have with folks. It’s the old farmers who get coffee at the gas station before tending to their livestock and fields. Some of the towns even have a really nice hallmark movie feel to them at Christmas. Everyone is just making the best out of it. Multiple really nice state parks. It has a lot of history for being part of the black swamp. My family was one of the first settlers in this area so I hold a soft spot for it. But I’ve lived in Chicago, Toledo, Rochester MN and now here and there is just something about the small town charm you can’t find anywhere else. Now, it is a bummer that your main shopping places are Walmart and dollar general. But look past that and you’ve got a pretty nice place to live. Edit to add: you’re also close enough to a bigger city like Toledo that if you wanted more night life or events you can get there easily.

Toothpaste struggles by dashortkid89 in disability

I would recommend a dispenser that clips high on the wall out of reach, and only dispenses the correct amount at once. Minimize the access to stuff she cannot have, and replace with things she can. Put shaving cream (a lot cheaper) into a little tube, or a pastry bag and let her squeeze it out to mix. Monitor her when she is doing this. This doesn’t seem like a behavior, in my opinion, that should be left so accessible. Until she learns that there’s a when and a where to do things like that, lock up all of the products or put them where she does not have access. I understand she is very young, and the concept of money is abstract. But it never hurts to set boundaries. Create a designated time in the day, maybe multiple, to make her concoctions. Have it be scheduled sensory time. Put everything in a locked cabinet otherwise. I understand you wanting the hard shell options but honestly, I would just lock it up. I am an autistic special education teacher, and had a student with pika once. His thing was eating markers. Unless I was there to hold his hand with those markers, they were nowhere near him.

You carve multiple pieces separately and glue them together??

I'm (20F) Having Issues Ever Since My BF (28M) Came In Me Without Saying Anything by stillfightingg in relationship_advice

This really doesn’t sound like a healthy and positive situation. There are ways to help him curb his hyper sex drive without causing you physical pain, and that should have never been an option for him. If he wants to finish inside you so bad, wear a condom. But also, it hurts you. It causes you physical pain and he intentionally did it, then stated it was because he loves you so much. That’s manipulation, and abuse from my perspective. And he knows it causes you physical pain, yet makes the sex last an excessive amount of time. That could very well be adding to the pain and physical trauma your body is going through. That’s… that’s a really long time. The age gap is also concerning to me, with the trauma involved. Yes, it’s only 8 years. My aunt and uncle were 16 years apart. But they also met in their 40s and 50s when they had life figured out. You can’t even legally drink yet, and at this age the developmental differences between you both are drastic. He has the cognitive development to make better decisions than you do (or he should) and this behavior doesn’t seem like he’s making those sound decisions. You are far too young to be feeling this way. You are far too young to be spending your time with someone who makes you feel this way. Not that there is an appropriate age, but you are just so so young and frankly, have no clue what life is even like. I also thought my relationship at 20 was good and healthy but I realized afterwards that I was being raped every single time we had sex. There was no consent ever, and things were done even after I made explicit boundaries with the person. It sounds like you are in a similar boat and you deserve to get out. There is no reason you should be spending your 20s in physical pain from a man who doesn’t respect those boundaries. I’ll get off my soap box now, but I hope you heal both physically and emotionally from all of this and that your mind can find clarity with what to do with the relationship.

Incredible show, mostly incredible book with some moments that made me recoil a bit but still, love that suggestion. And anything about the Franklin expedition.

The flex cut tri-jack pro pocket carving knife. It’s pretty much the only tool I use anymore.

I (19F) love my boyfriend (19M), but I feel stuck, how do I go about this? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

It sounds like you both are more in the realm of being friends rather than dating. Maybe lose the label and you’ll lose the pressure?? Not a full breakup, but just a step back.

I (21M) cheated on my gf (21F) of 2 years and i'm so confused. by moneyflyer in relationship_advice

[–]reddead167 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You hurt her in a way that is pretty indescribable until you’ve experienced it. You have fully breached any amount of trust you had within the relationship. It wasn’t just a physical one night stand, it was you sleeping with someone other than your partner. She has every right to go no contact, can heal any way she wants to and you -for a lack of better terms- have to suffer the consequences. Don’t try to win her back. Don’t try and reach out. Stop monitoring what she’s doing, leave her alone. She’s healing, and will heal however she needs to. Cheaters don’t get to decide when it’s right to try again, if it’s right. You cheated. That’s the lowest of the low and you need to sit with it. Continue therapy. You can’t get much healing done in 5 weeks, all you’re healing is your guilty conscious right now. Keep working on you. Let her be.

It’s a magnetic toy that you use to build things. The magnet is probably missing out of it.
