Autism

It’s bread day! Making a couple of loaves and some pizza dough. Betty White (sourdough starter) tried to escape from her jar, but I caught her in just time!

Best time of my life was right before the eclipses and I could see outside without sunglasses or cloudy weather.

Lot of pressure to make this post today. Hope I can do it.

I have to spend the day with a group of people I don’t know. Main consultation is they won’t interact with me much.

Is anyone else attracted to internet forums merely because you can be sure at least one person is going to get your reference, no matter how obscure?

Maybe today I will get to work on what I am supposed to work on.

Hiya!

Hey, I know that all relationships are different and I’m not looking for direct advice, but just curious as to how other people have experienced this.

Lot of stuff to do at work and it’s going to almost 100F/37.8C all week. But I got my truck out of the body shop! Generally I am against the big modern trucks. But I have very tinted windows on mine. And while most guys just fill the backseat up with junk, I keep it clean and use it as my mobile office. It’s like I’m driving around with my own personal couch and no one can see me even when I’m parked on the street.

Just enjoying the morning and lying about enjoying the morning.

Well we’re going to do things today. I just don’t know what things.

What I mean is people on the spectrum may face the treatment or discrimination equivalent to “Don’t excuse me for your autism!” when he or she’s having a meltdown dismissing it as “bad behavior” when it’s not. It becomes difficult from childhood if schools aren’t catered on accommodating this demographic, they’re considered normal physically but their outlook on life is different from their neurotypical counterparts.

Hi, since I’ve started using Lemmy, I’ve been running into the same people and having something approaching a relationship with them–even if it’s mostly imaginary.

My stomach is evil.

How do you all cope with the rejection that you go through in the workplace? I’ve largely only ever been socially successful among groups where I share an interest, and even then, I still struggle socially quite a bit and tend to be somewhat disliked in any sort of group setting. Among the general public (so classes, and now work for many years) I’ve never really been able to make friends, and people range from being neutral to me but not liking me, to disliking me, to hating me in a way that feels like it should really only be reserved for people who actually brought you significant harm, to trying to be ‘friendly’ and then making fun of me when I’m still in earshot, and such. But I still have to work, which means that I have to just go to work and deal with hearing my coworkers talk about me negatively when I’m within earshot, noticing the difference in the demeanor when they interact with anyone else versus interact with me, notice when they actively try to do things to make my job harder (thankfully this is somewhat rare but it happens unfortunately).

I woke up with a sore neck and had to put some Icy Hot (ointment for sore muscles) on. I accidentally touched my ear while doing so and now it is tingling.

I go back to work today. So that should be fun.

This is what happened to me when I was younger whilst on vacation: I hate fast paced environments where a real time reaction response is required (like having to hurry up during airport security when there’s a long line of people) since I’m the type of person who likes to do things at my own speed. My anxiety reached a breaking point during that moment alongside my temper flaring but I had to maintain composure.

Going to try to change our grocery habits so we use the small local stores more than the corporate stores.

I am going to be upfront and say I’m kinda just looking for a sense of reassurance here. Guilty as charged. But if you feel I have failed or am not a good person in some respect, I do not want anyone to lie.

Hey, guys, been recontextualizing every problem in my life in view of possibly having broad autism phenotype and wanted to bounce some things off you for a sanity check.

Edit: My father is a little disappointed or maybe sad that I don’t drive. My mother too

It is a rainy Sunday. Staying in with the kitties and making bread.

I’m finally off work. Three day weekend!

I was just watching a youtube on Jungian personas and masks. The problem, Jung said, is that people put on masks to gain love and acceptance but hide their true authentic selves. Over time, they forget who they really are and become their mask.

I’m off call this morning. It’s been a long week.

I rarely see the sun or hangout with other humans.

Hi, can someone please tell me where I can legally get an euthanasia appointment for having diagnosed ADHD and undiagnosed autism?

Argh!

Communication with NT is very hard and often frustrating. I now am in the situation to have people hard of hearing around me and it’s very difficult to cope.

I do. I decide to obtain more complete information.

There is no Daily Show this month. My morning routine is in shambles.

Worked 13.5 yesterday and already an hour and a half this morning. Now I have to drive an hour and a half to meet someone. I hate everything right now.

I have been going “crazy” that’s what I call it.

Inspired by a recent thread. This question might be triggering, so be careful. For me, even imagining these sounds is mildly upsetting.

I dont mean the experience of autism being awesome, its often in my experience, absolutely fucking terrible. What I mean is that the word autism itself that explains me and thats awesome. It makes it so much easier to accept myself.
