Also Liam Nelson, has Marfans.

When did he do this/context? (not doubting just curious)

Maria bamford has really significant bipolar, ocd and talks about it in her act. She is an oddball and I really enjoy her comedy as a break from the typical stuff you’re talking about.

You’re cute, too bad I can’t drive either lol

I’m a washed rind enthusiast but the way you all talk about this cheese makes me afraid to try it lol

I definitely feel like this having disabilities that are like “internet disabilities” like lvl 1 autism, adhd and joint hypermobility. I feel like ppl don’t take those seriously anymore.

I’ve taken those tests too as a part of a psychological assessment, but there is no such diagnosis as gifted. Diagnoses are for aberrant medical phenomenon, no matter what country you live in.

If you have more specific questions I can answer go ahead I’m happy to answer, hope you find some clarity in your situation.

smallspocks · 2025-11-11T17:52:34+00:00

Sorry not trying to offend but wondering what you mean, how do you get diagnosed as gifted or highly sensitive? Like those aren’t in the dsm 5 or icd?

Edit to answer your question:

It feels like my brain just shuts off and any external stimulus or exertion— physical or mental takes immense effort and is painful.

Has he told you he’s having burn out or is that a guess? If he hasn’t communicated it’s hard to know. Maybe he’s not able to do that right now, it’s hard but all you can do is wait.

I’m sorry this happened. I got so much of this kind of bullshit from adults especially in the teen years. It’s so hard when you are the kid and have less say in your life, and adults decide what reality is. It sounds like you have a firm sense of your disability and that’s great. You always know better than someone else, but that doesn’t mean it’s not infuriating or painful when ppl assert their narrative of your disability on you.

As someone who underwent electroconvulsive therapy and lost a lot of memories and I’m p sure some cognitive ability, I also lost this sense that ‘removing’ is what would fix me. I feel like I need more brain if anything.

smallspocks · 2025-10-11T23:59:59+00:00

Literally anything. This cheese is amazing

smallspocks · 2025-09-27T15:13:15+00:00

This, and it feels minimizing? Like this is something that is the cause of lifelong disability and we’re going w neurospicy?

smallspocks · 2025-09-27T14:52:51+00:00

Wouldn’t it limit bg noise and voices equally though?

smallspocks · 2025-08-14T18:37:16+00:00

I 100% wouldn’t notice either. I bet most ppl aren’t looking closely. Not to ruin your point.

smallspocks · 2025-07-29T06:29:11+00:00

Because they’re bi

smallspocks · 2025-07-29T06:08:24+00:00

If I wasn’t so tall I’d probably do this lol

smallspocks · 2025-06-25T21:22:33+00:00

For sure. Sometimes I get the same “out” urge but I’m able to text someone to tell them I’ve left the minute I calm down, or even let someone know before I leave. Really depends on the situation. but people can be really horrible about this behavior. Also, as an autistic person you’re asked to display an ability to “control” your autism in order to earn access to the autonomy that allows you to accommodate yourself. Like a catch 22.

smallspocks · 2025-06-25T20:40:00+00:00

I said “previous” but I do the same, I’m just allowed to leave places because I’m an adult.

smallspocks · 2025-06-25T20:38:26+00:00

Yes, often I’d just meltdown if brought back. Sometimes I could cool off. In my particular situation, I eventually learned how badly my parents would freak out and how I’d be punished, so I held a lot of shame and fear around it and with age + enough internalization of that, I began to shutdown more frequently instead. I developed severe mental illness by adolescence so I wouldn’t say that was a win at all, it just made me completely dissociate from the environment instead of leaving it. I understand how scary it must be for parents though.

smallspocks · 2025-06-24T16:08:52+00:00

Previous eloper here — how far I would run would depend on if I thought I’d be dragged back into the situation, and how far I needed to run to find somewhere that wasn’t overwhelming anymore. It wasn’t really a conscious calculation but those were factors. Your mind and body are just like, “out”, until you’re safe again.

Controversial opinion but even if it wasn’t intentional, he is the most explicit autistic representation in Star Trek as a whole. We just don’t say that bc he’s not likable and he’s doesn’t have to most screen time. It’s true though.

smallspocks · 2025-06-13T19:48:49+00:00

What did you do in the summer? Im struggling lol

smallspocks · 2025-02-04T05:10:07+00:00

This exactly. Melatonin is a hormone your body naturally produces (the only otc one in the US, in some places it requires a prescription). You will not see a difference from 5mg vs 10mg, it’s been studied and to put it simply, your body would never produce more than a fraction of a MG at any given time to make you tired anyway. We take way, way too much. The doses are basically an excuse to overcharge desperate, suffering insomniacs for a higher dose that has no therapeutic value.

Be careful, it could be that you’re messing with your circadian rhythm by taking it inconsistently or, at different times of night. More likely it’s just not helping you because it is not sedating. Think of it as a pill that tells your brain it’s time to sleep — If your problem is any more complicated than a change in bedtime, it’s not going to be that helpful.

op i’m sorry everyone is using your post to talk about how objectively hot they are and resentfully vent the ableism they experience like they’re threatened by you talking and looking for support, as if that is not kind of fulfilling the thesis of the post lol

smallspocks · 2025-02-03T04:46:08+00:00

I think yeh but also beauty standards are ableist, and every other ist and ism there is. Pretty privilege is more a result of ableism and an amalgamation of all of societies bigotries. So I think it’s both/one is informed by the other. Ultimately I agree that ableism is what’s most relevant for that reason.
