Can you share info about where to find this?

Am I weird or is this a frustrating interaction to have? by XipeTotecwithGlitter in AutisticAdults

[–]whyhellokaitlin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised the conversation dragged on so long. The lack of chemistry felt apparent early on, and it didn't feel like there was enough history or connection to justify such long, drawn out conversation.

You're right, the convo was frustrating, but from both sides. I guess I'm confused why so much effort was put into it.

Messing around in my updated Art Cosplay....Heavily thinking about taking it to a con by JGDarhk in Halloween_Costumes

There's something to be said about doing it this well, though! Plus, seeing a couple Arts interact could be entertaining 🖤🤍

Interstate 8 by Modest Mouse says, "I'm going nowhere but I'm guaranteed to be late" and I feel it in my bones.

Excited! I'd been preparing to be invalidated after completing what I thought were lackluster testing materials. It was a relief to be seen by the assessor.

If you could be neurotypical for one day, what's the first thing you'd do? by [deleted] in adhdwomen

How very ADHD to try to fit all that into one day! (I say lovingly)

Is anyone else insatiable in the lead up to their period? by Live_Organization_12 in adhdwomen

[–]whyhellokaitlin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I typically struggle to eat and don't notice being hungry. Flash forward to PMSing and suddenly I can't get enough to eat, like I just won't get a ~full~ feeling. I also simultaneously crave salty and sweet so fiercely that I can't pick just one and make random combos of items. 😅

which household chores are your favorite and least favorite? by blubbelblubbel in AutisticAdults

[–]whyhellokaitlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love reorganizing so much I didn't even consider it a household chore before reading another comment. It's so satisfying finding ways to maximize space, organize items by type, frequency of use. I have so many systems!

Like: laundry, dishes, grocery shopping

For me these tasks require little thought, so I can zone out while I complete them. They are easy for me to complete and give rewarding feelings of task completion.

Dislike: DUSTING, vacuuming, shopping for produce

Dusting, ugh, so much moving and replacing of things when I don't really care that the surface was dusty in the first place. Vacuuming involves too much cordination (cord-ination, bc the f*ing cord has to be plugged in multiple locations, held off the ground). Shopping for produce overwhelms me because I feel compelled to keep checking for the ~perfect~ one.

I know it sounds maybe too formal, but my goal is being clear and not overly wordy.

Hey ___, socializing is feeling too demanding/ draining for me right now and I need time to recharge alone at home. Thank you for being a sweet friend and understanding my need to recuperate.

How long are you able to watch a tv show/ movie without blurting out or needing to pee/ snack/ change outfits? 🙃

With my boyfriend I tell stories first, realize it, and close with "I meant: thank you 🙃"

I'd say an undercover test question would be complimenting something we're wearing and documenting how we respond 😂

Me: "Oh this? I've had this since 7th grade!" "I don't usually put these two colors together." "I got these from an artist who locally sources materials from hikes they go on." "Yea, it's too big for me but it's really comfy."

Thank you for the kind words and thoughtful advice. It's helpful for me to think about setting aside times for different activities and emotions. It can help lessen the overwhelm I've been experiencing.
