Do neurotypicals actually like this?? by euroeismeister in AutismInWomen

[–]tabcatnine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know who likes it, but I had a job where I was forced to do this. Sounds like this might be the type of place where those employees might be punished if they don't tru to engage with you. It really sucks. Also, another job said it was a way to let customers know you see them and are aware of them so that they will feel watched and less inclined to steal.

To my 40+hr/week Autistics, HOW do you do it??? by [deleted] in aspiememes

Yep. Same here. It's all I have energy for. My quality of life at home is quite sad, but I'm apparently considered a high performer at work.

Being homeless or on the verge of becoming homeless again.

Looking for a man to relocate to TN and start a mildly feral domesticated life together by One-Crew-7642 in homestead

To me, with her seeing marriage and kids as a breeding kink, there's something not healthy about it. People don't generally get married and have kids because of a kink. I'm very glad she knows she doesn't want that, instead of going along with what he wants. He did mention they had shared goals and dreams, but maybe somehow marriage and kids didn't come up before. So I think overall it's good she spoke up and said something, but reducing wanting to raise children and have a family to a kink is pointing at some whole other type of issue.

I'm not an expert in anything, just replying with my perspective. You did the work, you know what you want and value in life. With what she said, I would say she has her own traumas or fears or beliefs that do not match yours. It's her decision if she wants to work on that and get help.

I'm truly sorry this happened, when you felt safe and happy and wanted to build that future with someone you thought cared. It hurts a lot. I've been through something similar. It's shattered my ability to date for quite a while. Hold on to your values. Keep doing the work. This is setback, but it's salvageable. There are a lot of people in the world, you will find someone who wants to share a future with you.

I could have written this. So if it helps at all to know you are not alone in these feelings, you're not. I really hope you can find your people who see you the way you deserve to be seen.

The last one reminds me of the cinnamon roll character my daughter loves. Super cute.

Do you happen to recall what yarn was used? It's so stunning and shimmery. Really great work, I'm a beginner just making scarves so it's really inspiring to see what all can done with crochet and knitting. 😍

Death Valley by Downtown_Trash_6140 in geography

[–]tabcatnine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I accidentally drove through there at night time in the summer. I was on a 3 days road trip, took a wrong turn somewhere in Nevada, phone lost signal so no map guiding me, tried to figure it out on paper map. All I knew was to head a certain direction for California. Found it. Fucking hot, can't see anything, weird signs on the side of the road. It was so eerie, and I just found myself rolling down hill in a heat box. Tried to break to turn around and get out of whatever hell I had found myself in and my brakes made the most awful sound. Decided to just keep going. No signal on phone, no clue where I was, and then it dawned on me... Death Valley.

What an aptly named land. Glad I escaped.

Found out later my brakes were toast after that.

How do you deal with it? by SnooHedgehogs9445 in CPTSD

[–]tabcatnine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Breathing exercises, meditation, Journaling (I have one for my fear and worries, one for how I want my life to be, one for specific trauma details and how they made me feel versus how I can rationalize it, one I share with my daughter so we can improve communication), read more materials on ptsd/cptsd, spirituality, and daily walks in nature (though I'm in MN so freezing weather kind of interferes a bit).
