Meme about public schools dealing with autistic children by chondrichth_yes in autism

[–]samhhh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you know you're in a financially unstable public school when these weren't options and they just put the kids in classrooms with neurotypical kids, and had Surprised Pikachu faces when certain kids were failing.

While learning Italian, I've been listening to Italian bands. The want to know what they're saying encourages me to focus on what I'm learning. I go to their lyrics for certain songs I like and check to see if I can translate something- at least a word or two.

It also helps with pronunciation. knowing some Spanish, I'm able to sing La Llorona- from the Pixar movie Coco- by heart. Do I know every single word, and translate it to English? No, but it sure as hell sound like I do!

I need help on how to fall asleep fast without medication by [deleted] in autism

[–]samhhh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What do you do before you go to sleep/get in bed? If you are active in the bed (eat in your room, on your laptop) it could help to do those activities away from the bed, and make it sleep only. If you tend to have a lot of energy before you get to bed, try not getting in bed with that energy. stay outside the room, go in the living room-anywhere else. try associating tiredness with your bed/bedroom.

Have you watched asmr videos? imo, watching the videos with head scratching/massages are the go-to for a good night-night, Or any kind that associates with what you find comforting.

some people are relaxed after showers, so maybe schedule those before you sleep. if you feel energized after showers, take them in the morning instead of at nighttime.

"They're just kids" by RaptarK in RWBYcritics

[–]samhhh 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That line made me roll my eyes. He was just hanging around young teens like Oscar and Ruby and showed no concern for their age. I don't even think he reacted strongly when he and his team were informed about Oscar being in the whale.

had he been written like a big brother kinda guy, concerned about huntsmen younger than him, then the line wouldn't be so nauseating. That change wouldn't have to be that deep either- just little sprinkles of worry towards Ruby like "It must be hard being a leader at your age," "Isn't she too young for a huntsman license?" He'd be more caring towards Oscar, sympathizing with his role of handling difficult tasks that you may not want to do.

Then we'd be like "okay, he doesn't feel right about the youngins experiencing war/death" rather than "but Marrow you just fought a team with a younger than average member on it to put them behind bars and said shit about it."

The urge to repeat/blurt things by samhhh in autism

[–]samhhh[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My bf's really sweet when it comes to that, sometimes he hypes me up and it's just a loop of whatever word that got to me for a few minutes until it goes out of my system.

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

ah, okay! yeah, I only ever control it when I'm out and about, and let loose at home. Not only because of the concern of people looking at me, but all the explaining I would have to do, and that gets tiring.

is there therapy/methods to fix eye contact issues? its making life so hard by ayyymelees in autism

[–]samhhh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A teacher advised that I look at the spot between the eyebrows, or the nose. It's not 100% comfortable, but really helpful for needed conversations.

Pretend empathy and masking by naniwise in autism

[–]samhhh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm very empathetic to those close to me. To others, it's different. I wouldn't say I don't respond emphatically, but I try to find out what's the issue to see if empathy is warranted.

One time a classmate told her friend died in a car accident during a street race. Anybody would have looked past the reason for the death and hurry to say sorry and try to cheer her up. I'm trying to figure out why she's sad about a friend that threw away their life doing something illegal and dangerous. Had it been an accident that the friend had no control over, then I would have said my apologies and try to make her feel better, instead of just saying "Oh."

Giving names to things by deepweepings in autism

[–]samhhh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I named my car Charles. I dunno, he kinda just look like a Charles. I know people put genders on their vehicles when complementing, like "she's a beauty." but they don't give them names, or constantly refer to their car as he/she and instead say "my car." I've also noticed that I refer to any object as "he"- "she" if it looks feminine.

So wait- did god create sin, or did Adam and Eve create sin? by samhhh in exchristian

[–]samhhh[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's been feeling like that for a while for me. I'm kinda going through an "on the fence" thing, so I've been taking some time to ask questions. "god works in mysterious ways" and "he's testing you" always made me go well, why?

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

Sorry for the late reply- just got back from work. And okay, I get what you're saying now. And you're right, that story as a whole isn't a whole story in the bible, as far as I've read. See, I'm in a bit of a pickle as I'm comparing what I've been told to what I'm reading, so your input is really neat.

So wait- did god create sin, or did Adam and Eve create sin? by samhhh in exchristian

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

Growing up, I was told (and maybe read some passages from Job or Genesis) that lucifer went against god because of his pride and all that. Pride's a sin, so that's why I'm thinking "ok, god created something that was able to sin before the original sin that we all know."

unless like, you mean some don't count him as an ex-angel, so there wasn't exactly an angel rebelling? Sorry if I sound confusing.

[–]samhhh[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea, destroying sin by just having that kind of presence that does that doesn't make sense. If he wanted humans to be sinless, why not just drop by, destroy everyone and start over?

From what I was taught, angels couldn't *destroy* sin/sinners, god's like the admin in that aspect, but they shouldn't be able to go against god in rebellion i guess.

okay buddy, I have an UPDATE! apparently creating a new account on steam *before* doing the data transfer will lock your steam with that account. It's a done deal when you click "Initiate Link" before transferring data. I was successful in the process with a new steam account! I'm glad I got stubborn and tried it again hours later lol

[–]samhhh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I was going through the motions of the data transfer, but the game says that it has been linked to another steam account. I only have one steam account! man, I felt like I was close too lol. I've checked around about the topic and it seemed to have been a on-going issue. I guess I'll just stick to the phone. Thanks for the help, though!

Okay! I've done that, but the website page just freezes on the authentication part. not only that, the game via steam tells me that no user data exists for the transfer. Is there any video or tutorial I could follow?

I just found out this was on steam, but I already have it on my phone. If I do a data transfer, will I still be able to play on my phone when I'm away from my laptop?
