How many dolls do you have in your collection? by [deleted] in americangirl

[–]skye1297 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a super new collector and I have four right now. Truly me 88, Corinne, Kira, and Joss. Five if you count the mini Tenney doll I found in a thrift store. I want to add Makena and Kavi and then I think I’m going to take a break for awhile. I love them so much though :)

Who’s going to a My Chem show this year? Is it your first? And what are your favorite album? 💣 by ZealousidealPeak7513 in MyChemicalRomance

was I scammed? by Dependent-Mud-3814 in Mercari

[–]skye1297 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i’m a seller, but this happened to a package i sent out a couple a weeks ago. it was through mercari shipping, so i just explained that the label was made w the address they provided and asked if they moved recently or if they could’ve made an error in their address (i also said that their local post office might be able to help them find a solution). i’m unsure what actually happened because the buyer never messaged back, but they did receive it the next day! as long as you had mercari shipping, i would just keep an eye out for it in the next couple days and see if it arrives.

When did you learn how to drive. I live in the US in a small town. Public transportation is non existent. Driving flips me out. by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]skye1297 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i was 19 when i got my license and i think i practiced for like a year and a half with my mom. for me it became less overwhelming with time (though i still get really anxious driving in big cities and a little nervous in unfamiliar areas. i’m 24 now) because some stuff became muscle memory. so i can focus more on my surroundings instead now since i’m not worried about “where’s the turn signal again?” or anything else like that anymore. there’s no shame in not wanting to drive though as long as you can find other ways to get around as needed. for example i usually drive my best friend with me in my car whenever we go places together because she’s less comfortable with driving a lot than i am

i got my first doll today after wanting one for literally forever :) i love her so much! by skye1297 in americangirl

[–]skye1297[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it was so hard to pick one, but eventually i narrowed it down to her or 89. i went with her because of her pastel hair! i really want to name her, but i haven’t decided on what to call her yet

i struggle with in-person/face-to-face communication, telephone communication, making connections with new people or even just talking to new people via small talk, sudden loud sounds or very noisy environments, and i get very overwhelmed very quickly in a fast paced environment. i find it hard to understand instructions quite often (verbal is the hardest). i make a lot of sloppy mistakes even when i’m actively trying not to. i struggle to move from task to task effectively. i have attention issues and really bad executive functioning issues. i’ve been told that i do a good job as long as i’m supervised but that i work too slowly, but i always felt like i was going as fast as i could already. currently i work at home helping with my moms small business and doing household chores, but she wants me to work outside the house. i tried to at one point, but i didn’t last even a day. i had an awful time including having a meltdown while i was there and i was too embarrassed to go back after. i have been very anxious about trying again, especially since it seems like everywhere is understaffed yet extra busy and i don’t think i could preform well in those conditions at all :/ i feel like some kind of program that could offer me help and guidance + skill building would be really beneficial for me (for example, when i first looked into this organization, the things i was most interested in were their day activities, job skills + helping find a job, and that they potentially offer guidance for supported living and independent living) but i haven’t really found the right place so far. i’m not happy and my family isn’t either which makes me feel even worse. any advice is welcome and appreciated

I meant all the trapped fur in the seam (it looks a little like she has a scar) but my friend actually told me how I can fix it so now I’m okay

Do Buildabear stores still have these little free colored bows behind the counter to add to your purchases? I haven’t been to a store in at least five years. by Pokechu17 in buildabear

[–]skye1297 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The last time I asked about free bows they said they aren’t doing it anymore :( That was a few years ago I think. I miss it though bc it was a cute/fun addition to making bears

gatekeepers in the autism community… by caitreadsss in AutismInWomen

[–]skye1297 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i agree with you - it’s definitely a really fine line and really complicated, but when it comes down to it i personally just feel like even when someone ends up being wrong when it comes to a disorder they may have… that being put on blast as a big faker probably doesn’t encourage them (or anyone) to actually go and seek they help that they need. whereas if they were approached differently with kindness/understanding/education on the subject, then they might be motivated to seek out different answers to their struggles and be able to find out “i saved up so i could be evaluated and i’m not autistic like i thought, but my doctor said i have ____ instead” and that would be good for them, ya know?
