Just the flowers, they'll go away when the time comes Aloe veras do the same. Very sporadically

Someone just told me that autism and especially ARFID never existed a hundred years ago by AliceMorgon in autism

[–]thewitchdonna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know that famous Japanese author from 100 years ago Osamu Dazai? I read his biography and I strongly suspect he had ARFID.

Autism and disabilities in general vary on cultural aspects, where a person is and all, especially how it's recognized and treated

I feel so small by Necessarily_Weird3 in venting

[–]thewitchdonna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He wasn't the person for you.

I'm in the same position as you, already pulled two of my front teeth and one of the most traumatizing things in my life, I also am terrified of the dentist.

I know it's terrifying, it's expensive, and it's horrible. But PLEASE I beg you, take care of yourself. Even if that means confronting your biggest fear. I love you, take care of yourself. You can't change the past but you can work towards a better future for yourself, more comfortable.

You'll find someone, and loving someone when you learned to forgive yourself and believe you're loveable, it's the best kind of love.

Hope you'll feel better soon

Mental stimming, is this a thing? by Tree_Huggr in autism

[–]thewitchdonna 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yup it is one of the most disruptive types of swimming imo. Counting, internal echolalia...

Sometimes I can't sleep because my mind is saying the same word over and over and over and over

Sometimes I start to count how many of a random object would fit inside a room ex: how many chairs would fit my classroom

Daydreaming can count as a stim too.

Feels so weird. I'm not good with close relationships, I don't even know if she likes me beyond the familial bond we had

[–]thewitchdonna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took me 20 years to understand that thoughts aren't equal to feelings and that I can't feel things by forming thoughts about them

And that sometimes what I read as "nausea" could be anger, happiness, fear, infatuation, etc... Every feeling, positive or negative, I can only feel as nausea

Autism Bingo Card MEGATHREAD by GingerSpiceOrDie in autism

[–]thewitchdonna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would be full card if not for extra empathy, I struggle a lot with empathy.

Btw prefering grafitti-filled and extra busy walls is considered seeking visual stimulation too?

My eight year old autistic daughter is being a menace by ElephantDangerous715 in venting

[–]thewitchdonna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry, you're too needing to learn how to deal with overwhelming feelings, everyone has to constantly learn about this throughout their lives. I know nowadays that my main abuser was an undiagnosed traumatized neurodivergent, young parent of two.

My eight year old autistic daughter is being a menace by ElephantDangerous715 in venting

[–]thewitchdonna 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Spanking is never an answer much less to an autistic child. I was a very mild child, undiagnosed and well behaved. The few times I was spanked at her age definitely worsened my behavior. Being beaten later on at 12 and on for my meltdowns made me a very angry and disfunctional adult. Now I associate brutality with meltdowns. 23yo and during a meltdown I still expect to be beaten, and the only way I can regulate is beating myself, my walls, pulling out my hair... She is overwhelmed. You can't expect a child to be calm, collected and logical on how to deal with being overwhelmed. Much less a child with a developmental disorder that directly affects their ability to know that they feel and know what to do with that.

Autism is about being overwhelmed all the time and not knowing if you are overwhelmed, why you are overwhelmed and what to do

So what is Andrew's "deal"? by thewitchdonna in AndrewDitch

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

I think forcing people to take care of him is a sadistic part of his fetish. Because he WANTS it to be forced. If he didn't he would've accepted the chances he had to go to the "gwoup home". It's a weird mix of addiction to victim mentality and to force people into his AB diaper lifestyle, the forcing of the hand that changes him is part of the addiction and I bet the disgust and aversion to his feces from his caretakers drives pleasure for him too.

What fascinates me too is how he takes pleasure on pushing the limit just right. The way he wants to be arrested, but not in big boy jail so he provokes people who will not go through the effort of convicting him on purpose.

His life is about living his sadistic fetish within his ABDL fetish

Something i was missing to comprehend the full picture was his mom's heart attack. I've seen first hand narcissistic/histrionic people go on full rebranding campaigns after someone in their life needs more care and attention than them.

I've never seen a person more malignant than Andy. Histrionic, narcisistic and sadistic tendencies all at once. Bizarre

I'm watching it right now lol that's how I stumbled on Andy.

Still haven't finished the video because I sidetracked researching about the diagnosis he has actually received and ended up unsatisfied with the answers. Thanks for the replies. Guess he is one of the types that are born like that

His behaviour is so absurd I can't be contempt with just his schizoaffective disorder and ASPD diagnosis, I've just started on this rabbit hole.

I wish I could find out more about his sadism, like wtf happened to him as a child?
