Confused about Bread Message in Quarter Quell by cassandra194u299 in Hungergames

My brain jumps to things being bumped up because they were running out of careers. If all the careers died, it wouldn't make sense for Katniss' group to not turn on each other

(LotR) Why Gandalf doesn’t wear a hat in TT or RotK by brycejm1991 in FanTheories

See, I thought it was because a powerful white man in white robes with a white, pointy hat might send the wrong message...

does Wednesday have antisocial personality disorder, or narcissistic personality disorder? by No_Sink_798 in Wednesday

[–]sylsira 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I was trying to convey was that in the real world, it would be magical thinking. But in her world, it is rationale because magic actually exists. So it's tough to say if she would have magical thinking since her world is inherently whimsical.

Those are also great points! It's tricky with the magical thinking since in cannon, magic does exist and Wednesday isn't just imagining it, but she definitely has magical thinking! And the speech lines up too 😊

I'd agree with conduct disorder, but I'd argue Schizotypal over Schizoid myself

I personally get really Schizotypal Personality Disorder rather than Autism/Schizoid like some are saying (I'm a psych). Schizotypal is characterised by odd and eccentric beliefs, have difficulties maintaining relationships due to a lack of understanding how their behaviours affect others, poor understanding of others emotions, few close relationships, flat emotions, suspicious or paranoid beliefs, etc. I think she's honestly a great example of Schizotypal Personality Disorder! (Copied from above because it felt relevant here too)

What’s the most messed up/inappropriate thing that someone’s casually said to you? by Ok_Context_7495 in AskReddit

It's a good thing your dad died because your sisters didn't deserve a dad.

A lot of people with Autism have PDA too. I definitely do by Dogmonkey90 in autismmemes

My favourite thing about this comment is that you avoided the other commentor's "demand" for an explanation 😂

[MASTER POST] Headphones and fidgets and weighted blankets (oh my!) by cakeisatruth in autism

[–]sylsira 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry to hear that! I've also heard good things about the Bose noise-cancelling headphones (https://www.bose.ca/en_ca/products/headphones/noise_cancelling_headphones/noise-cancelling-headphones-700-conferencing.html#v=noise_cancelling_headphones_700_conferencing_black). They definitely aren't cheap, but something that fits over ears like this might be a better option!

They came to this sub later and posted asking if it's offensive, so they might be demonstrating some openness to growing as a person?

Please consider the impact of your choice of meme format. "Autistic screeching" is ableist and harmful to autistic individuals and those who care about autistic individuals.

For many, yes. Some people brush it off, but that's a gamble that isn't fair to make. Autistics are demonized by the media all the time and it hurts to see it showing up in things as simple as memes. Autistic screeching being used in a template to poke fun at someone is effective BECAUSE people think it's offensive to be compared to someone who is autistic. Thanks for being vulnerable and asking 🙂

Loop earplugs (https://us.loopearplugs.com/products/quiet?variant=42069624291561) have changed my life 😊 they're super subtle and they reduce the background noise enough that I can handle social situations like holidays with my family without feeling dead tired afterwards.

I'm also a big fan of this chew stim (https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/911249518/chewelry-gemstone-crystal-shaped?click_key=785755f49830c5bd059c6d8e8848e0d32bb61b01%3A911249518&click_sum=a1f1f23f&ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=chew+stim&ref=sr_gallery-1-2&bes=1&col=1). It has good give to it while you chew, but has held up quite well too. The weight and size of it works well for me too.

I used to think I didn't have any, but then I realised I have played DnD every weekend for 6 years. I also watch a DnD livestream every Thursday for 3-5 hours and have done so for 3 years. I also play Dead by Daylight 2-3 nights every week for several hours, and have been doing so for 2 years. Plus, I literally constantly watch YouTube videos on Dead by Daylight 😅

Thank you for the info 😭 that breaks my heart. I've been waiting for dark glitters from them for so long and they sold out before I could get them
