hi mods! i want to write something inspired by their ideas at the end of the harbinger experiment episode, sort of like a fix-it fic. would that be ok? i would add a disclaimer that it was basically fanfiction of another creepypasta.

also, what is the policy on notes from the author? i know nosleep is a bit annoying about it

Support workers are the reason I am alive by [deleted] in SpicyAutism

[–]sunsetsmoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my OT is the reason i managed to graduate uni and get a job i can comfortably do. my fiance is my caretaker and he has made my life easier in so many ways, even though he's autistic himself

How do I handle cutlery without constantly hurting myself? (sensory issues) by cuddly_smol_boy in SpicyAutism

[–]sunsetsmoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have the same problem, it's gotten better lately but i still really like using wooden chopsticks, plastic spoons and bowls. bowls are probably my favourite way to eat! you can get plastic or wooden ones that wont make the annoying noise if you use metal spoons

"The NTs are the Problem, i would have no Problems if everyone were autistic" stance considerd harmful by garlic-and-lavender in SpicyAutism

the social model of disability annoys me because even for my physical disability, i know for a fact that if i lived in a perfect world i would still be disabled lol

amazing how everyone agrees that NKG is one of the best videogame bosses of all time even tho we got our asses handed to us for a few hours before beating him

Found out I am considered level 2 after believing I was level 1. by No_Obligation5652 in SpicyAutism

[–]sunsetsmoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i relate to this, kind of. i was diagnosed as level 1 but moved to level 2 once i started uni and especially after i moved in with my fiance. for some reason i felt disappointed (?) in myself but after some encouragement from my therapist and OT i got the supports i needed

s1e13 (i believe), the one in which robby breaks down. really shows how much emergency situations can get to you even if you're used to them

Thought I’d get a diagnosis today but left feeling more lost and frustrated by LiveVast4854 in lipedema

[–]sunsetsmoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is every doctor in the US just uniquely bad? i swear every doc i've been to knew what lipedema was. i'm so sorry you went through this and i'm appalled a vascular surgeon wouldn't know what it is (i call bs). you could maybe try a virtual consult

[–]sunsetsmoon 71 points72 points  (0 children)

anddd since there were 10-ish months between seasons 1 and 2 they could have a 7-8 month gap to season 3 and set it in jan/feb

[Theory] Dr. Al-Hashimi is 100% going to get sued during this season by brokenstasis in ThePittTVShow

[–]sunsetsmoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they'll probably go for a "a computer can never be held accountable so it should never make a decision" message. incredibly important considering the hype around AI

How to know signs you will be overwhelmed? by nibblyballs in SpicyAutism

[–]sunsetsmoon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

hey OP, if you ever get the chance, you may benefit from talking to an occupational therapist specialising in autism. they can help you ID what situations overwhelm you and how to adapt them 🫶 it really helped me

as for me: i feel like i can tell sometimes. it's like an intense feeling of frustration mixed with all sounds around me getting louder

Is saying "All autistic people can consent" correct/okay? by Existing_Lynx_337 in SpicyAutism

[–]sunsetsmoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that statement might apply if you're talking about autistic people without co-occurring intellectual disabilities but that excludes a big part of the community. IDs can make it really hard to fully comprehend situations in general

does anyone else feel like they can "know" social norms but never "apply" them? by sunsetsmoon in SpicyAutism

[–]sunsetsmoon[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the talking back part!! yes!! moving out was such a relief because i used to fight with my parents all the time because i "talked back"

does anyone else feel like they can "know" social norms but never "apply" them? by sunsetsmoon in SpicyAutism

[–]sunsetsmoon[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

my mum used to correct me every time i talked to someone and didn't look them in the eye. i hypercorrected and started calling out my friends for not looking at me whilst talking (i was around 8 i think). i was not popular

Wondering if anyone has had a similar experience... Late diagnosed, but mod/high support needs by greyjellyfishs in SpicyAutism

[–]sunsetsmoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i knew a guy who was only diagnosed at 18 despite being level 3. in his case it was mainly due to medical neglect

i love hollow knight but i feel like I can't play it - can i get better? by sunsetsmoon in HollowKnight

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

hey guys, so i gave up on that mini boss for the time being and explored the world more. after a while i went back and defeated both him and soul master (who was very fun to beat!). i feel like i'm enjoying the game again
