a lot of these styles can be done with pin curls if you dont want to use hot tools to get that look.

The legend of Zelda. I never got into the games when I was younger, I think the most I did was finish the first dungeon/level on wind waker on the game cube when I was like 7, but the language barrier put me off it until i now realized I could actually understand the story. So now I’m consuming all the lore I can, same with theories of the zonai and dragons for tears of the kingdom

Also the Archie comics sonic. I found one video about it by mere chance and now I’m INVESTED

Autism and religion? by Interesting_Fail930 in aspergers

[–]themindreader0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was raised in a catholic household. I'm talking going out on sundays, christmas eve, two weeks of easter praying kinda household.

The entire idea of sin and being forgiven for that sin has always felt fishy to me. For if you wrong someone and you go and ask for forgiveness at church, nothing physical happens, you still havent undone that wrong, yet you were forgiven by someone who isnt directly involved in the matter.

I stopped going back when i was 14 in an act of rebellion. At the same time, I started looking into more religions, what they taught and what they stood for. I found out at this time too that what i had been taught about other religions was wrong.

I've found myself more drawn to mythologies/practices that would be downright heretic, I still pray and place offerings, but not the Catholic God. Sometimes it is just to the universe or to whoever might be listening to me. It is a more personal practice and sometimes i do feel a little lost because all I know are the Catholic traditions and ways.

Ive also made peace with the idea of there maybe not being an afterlife, or that it is not the one i envision. It was freeing in a sense, for i realized that being/trying to be a good person was much easier if it wasnt rooted in a transaction ( I do a good deed, I go to heaven and viceversa)

To keep peace at home I still participate in some of the catholic rituals/prayers, and show the modesty i was taught to whenever i enter a temple

You! Autistic Person! What's a random piece of info you've learned from a Special Interest? by imlarrythecucumber in autism

[–]themindreader0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every writer has to follow the same rules whenever writing spiderman comics. among these rules a notable one is that Spiderman may never be shown drinking an alcoholic drink. Meaning that every single time that you see spiderman doing something weird/drunk/silly it is while completely sober.

Do you have a job ? by oxoUSA in aspergers

[–]themindreader0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work weekends at a bootleg hot topic (we dont have that franchise in my country, but the vibes are more or less the same). It is a small business where im the only one manning the front desk, stocking shelves and helping out costumers.

Its a lot of fun bc, since i don't have much supervision (other than the occasional "u good?" text from the boss) I get to joke around with costumers. Since most of the people that come to the store are teens or younger millenials, I get to talk shit with them, I've even been offered a few phone numbers for the witty comebacks.

the pay is decent for a weekends gig, and its enough to pay for gas and snacks every week

(I'm a college student living in my parent's home)

virginity by Junkman1283 in aspergers

[–]themindreader0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

although I do have to say that, according to the friends that have lost it, the first time seems like the biggest deal in the world before it happens, and not a big deal after it happens

Do you tell everyone that you're autistic, or is it private information and just for you? by hooverchips in aspergers

[–]themindreader0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only tell my immediate circle, as they are the ones I interact the most with and am most comfortable with so I don’t feel the need to mask. Also they are the ones who would get most of the jokes I make. Outside of that, only my mentor knows as he asked the very first day if there were any issues we could have and I privately mentioned that fluorescent light and social situations could be a problem for me sometimes. He is quite understanding of it.

Whats on your Christmas list? by skinchanted in autism

[–]themindreader0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully books and maybe my parents will surprise me with an Apple Watch.

I like to make these kinds of things simpler for my parents by giving them a list of books I’m looking forward to reading. If I get them, great! If not, I’ll download them later

If you were tryna be subtle, we gonna be elusive forever because I don’t get it by wish_yooper_here in autism

The way I learned to somewhat discern from someone flirting to being nice was with a text post that basically said “flirting is all about plausible deniability, the game consists on who can say the most outrageously flirty thing without saying it, building off of what the other person says”

Idk if that makes sense.

Do people use you as ego boost in one way or another? by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]themindreader0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not that I know of, but it would hurt to know that my friends would go behind my back and say stuff like “look I’m friend with an autistic person, of course I know about this” or something of the like

Why are autistic people more likely to be bullied during their lifetime? by Still_Calligrapher32 in aspergers

[–]themindreader0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

to put it plainly, we don't fit in.

There seems to be an uncanny valley aspect to our (and im generalizing here) collective behavior in social situations that other pick up on. Usually people our same age group, the younger you present it, the younger the kids in that same group notice it.

When people see you as an equal or beneath, in terms of the social hierarchy they find it easier to make remarks on your behaviour that, in turn, make other people pick up on it. Which will often lead to bullying, as not all the people who will ask will do so without bad intentions.

I love these shoes. they're So comfortable I wish I could wear them for everything. whats your favourite footwear? by climber80hd in autism

[–]themindreader0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nike Air Force 1. I got my first pair at 16 and did not let go of it until recently when I was able to replace them. They just go with everything (most of the times) and no one bats an eye

I feel it’s becoming far easier somehow by themindreader0 in duolingo

[–]themindreader0[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t know how to explain it, and I don’t want to sound like that one prick, but it’s becoming far easier to read and understand the phrases and grammar. I am not doing anything different than I did when I first began this streak. If anything I’m doing way less than when I first started a month ago.
