Can y'all share what healthy safe foods u have?

Cus I'm kinda worried about eating nothing but pasta everyday

I don't necessarily recall a lot of times I've been babied before, but i have seen other autistic people be babied (particularly males). I personally think you should never baby autistic people regardless of their level of support, I think you should **treat them like humans but still try to accommo

Please help! I STILL don’t believe my ASD diagnosis from Prosper Health is valid and I’m over 1 month in. I’ve researched unmasking galore and I simply don’t know what I am masking in the first place. What can I do to accept it’s accurate as I wait for a second opinion? It’s driving me crazy. I went

Assalamu Alaikum,

i am on the very best way to getting a diagnosis. It isnt "legally official" yet, but it is pretty much set in stone, and has been since my conception.

I am 22 now and the topic of ASD has been one of my interest for some years now- mainly because I have this compulsive habit to

Exactly as the title says!

Because I am always socially inept, and slow on the uptake, as well as a poor judge of character, over trusting, can't tell if people are safe I have always felt more vulnerable to bullying. often I don't recognize it until it is deep into running its course socially. Now I am extra sensitive to rej

I'm kind of a weird eater, I both hate eating, and always overeat. It's hard to really explain the logic of it and most people just don't believe me when I try, but I feel like, since I don't like having things in my mouth, I'll just turn into autopilot whenever I'm eating. It might also be some for

If anyone saw a post from me an hour ago, I deleted it since I realized it wasn't productive at all and I realize in hindsight I was ultimately mourning that I didn't get the optimal outcome that I wanted when I was younger. That detail is important and will briefly come up here, but it won't be an

Hello

Hi everyone,

My oldests best friend is autistic. My kid knows and they have had chats together about her friends autism. But recently they have hit a few bumps on the road, nothing major, they are both just figuring out how to exist in the world.

I've tried to explain to my kid how being friends

Greetings, fellow autistics of reddit.

I'm 17 and I live in the UK. I'm in y12 and I'm autistic & ADHD.

A few years ago, I started a Neurodiversity club with my friends and the SENco of my school (who is my actual queen), basically just as a place for the younger students to come in and talk about

So I(?15)'ve been diagnosed a month ago with autism type 1 (so that would be high functioning) and it explained a lot of things. The point is, that I feel like I've got no actual hyperfixation and never felt hyperfocused. I mean, I do have things I think about it do everyday but I don't know anythin

Hey everyone,

Just started a new job this week after 8 months of sick leave. Left my previous employer after a really rough time – discrimination, being pushed out despite solid performance, and having my basic rights ignored. Finally got out, landed a step-up role in leadership.

Both me and my mom believe I have anemia. I’ve done some research and I believe I am low in iron. I don’t have many foods I dislike and my favorite foods are vegetables and fruits

Made a quick drawing for today, so, I hope y'all do well🙂

Hi again everyone! I am almost finished conducting my research with the University of Indianapolis to better understand the experiences of parents/caregivers of children and adolescents diagnosed with ASD. Specifically, we are curious about social support and self-stigma. To be considered eligible t

I’ve never been in a relationship, and I’m scared of something that feels ugly to admit. I’m afraid that if I fall in love and get married, I won’t be able to handle my partner aging and becoming less physically attractive. I dont know if its an autistic fear that I have or if its another mental pro

Hello.
I am autistic and am normally very, very uncomfortable with emotions especially when I cannot offer solutions.
A friend of mine has just lost her childhood cat and while I really want to help comfort her, I don’t know how or what to say. I feel like my anxiety over it will only make it

This is quite a nuanced, complex topic and I'm realizing how deep it goes.
For context: I've been on a healing journey and path for probably 5 years or more of dedicated healing with healing modalities etc...I was diagnosed with autism 2 years ago. and I've recently struck on a realization that t

Hey guys, I’m posting this to see if anyone else relates or struggles with the same thing & has any advice or their own work experiences. So first off, I have ADHD, not sure if autism is there too. I grew up with family/friends where I always felt like the odd one out. I sucked at school, sucked at

im 24f and have suspected i might be on the spectrum for a while. i finally got around to scheduling an assessment after procrastinating for months (more like years tbh).

i actually thought i had gotten an evaluation when i was 4 and they said i didnt have it, but my mom told me a couple years ago

I love it when things are relatable, and I think its an autistic trait as we're often very rigid, its also why I love creating art- to make people feel seen! Most media i enjoy, I like because I find them comforting in their relatability, I seek these out, and they become my favorite, constantly on

i brush my teeth with bubblefruit toothpaste cause my autism doesn't like the sensory feeling of mint sometimes and also cause due to adhd, i will forget to brush my teeth if i dont like my toothpaste

I’ve been talking to this guy for about 3 months we met online and have been talking daily since day one We haven't met in person yet. He was very clear from the start that he views online relationships as "doomed to fail" and believes marriage is the only real commitment. He explicitly said he does

Serving in the military with an autistic child raises a lot of unique problems, but there are a lot of resources available. Just wanted to spotlight this sometimes overlooked community.

I've never been formally diagnosed, but I have noticed and have been told that I show signs consistent with autism, which is why I'm asking on this subreddit - I'm hoping if the information I need isn't here, I can at least

Me and my friend are both AuDHD but in a very conflicting way. When I start telling them about something, I feel a compulsion to say it in full from beginning to end while including as many relevant details as possible. My friend's similar in the sense that they compulsively spend just as long telli

I know some people don’t like this show for various reasons but I enjoy it. On the other hand it’s makes me upset often. It seems a lot of the people on the show who have autism come from loving supportive families who adore their kids. I’m level 2 and I had to find out I was autistic myself. This s

My 19 month old hasn’t started walking, started coming up holding furniture since a month. He never really crawled, bum scooting since 11 month old and do this really fast. He was late to sit on his own from lying too around 11 months. Yesterday got on couch for the first time. He can’t walk and is

Are you guys similar to me on this point?

I recently showed to some friends and later to my mother one of my most intense interest because they asked me to and it made me very uncomfortable.

It’s like this a huge part of myself they never saw and I suddenly have to share that very intimate passion

(putting social struggles tag because I couldn't find any other tags that fit)

It's not really the review itself I'm upset about and moreso the comments on it. I don't like how people describe people who enjoyed this movie as manchildren. I understand the movie has its flaws but you can criticize a

I (18f) have been invited to a casual hangout by this girl (18f) with some of her friends. Me and her aren’t really friends, we went to camp together when we were 15 and didn’t talk after. We recently started talking again, and she invited me to this dinner.

The thing is, I suck at socialising!

One issue that I've noticed is that work courses that require participants to do both a theory part in classes and then an internship or similar job trial, have little to no practicing in classes. It's almost exclusively completely theoretical.
But once you're on the job, the reality is that you

tldr; I can't stand my plans changing last minute, and it makes me really irritable. Do I need to stop thinking about myself?

Hi everyone,

New poster here, I'll try not to make this a huge essay but I'm at the point where I'm hoping I can at least feel like there's some people like me out ther

Hi everyone, I’m 14 and uhhhhh so I think I’m autistic, obviously from the title. I’ve done deep dives, research, all the online tests (the verified ones), even been told by my autistic friends I may be on the spectrum, however I’ve never been diagnosed, an I ask my mom and she’s all like “well they

I 15m have a close friend who is saying stuff that's starting to get on my nerves, but i dont know if im like rightfully annoyed or just being dramatic. Some examples of conversations we've had

I stopped by a post office to drop off a package. The guy scans and says.

"Oh theres an extra fee now over the hollidays."

I'm confused but ask.

"Oh how much." And he just starts laughing.

"Omg you belived me?!! Haha you're so cute and gullible. You can't just trust strangers!"

God I hate jok

Title says all. I don't wanna be here anymore.

“It’s just a joke” I KNOW! I genuinely know, when it’s with people I know, when they joke. But that doesn’t mean I like it. Specifically rude jokes. I don’t have to like it!

However, aside from rude jokes, I was told that i take things too seriously. Like it could be a regular ass conversation and

Hello fellow humans,

As the title reads, I am a male human in my late 30s and have recently been diagnosed with what i am told is level 1 ASD, I was also told there were just a couple of exceptions that kept it from being level 2. I as well have ADHD and substance abuse disorder (in remission).

So I’m in high school and if you know how high schools are you know that you might be targeted/bullied if you wear ear defenders. Since I have high functioning autism most people don’t realize it so they would make fun of me so getting to the point how might you conceal ear defenders. Btw my school

I just had a phone call (scary, I know) to set up an appointment with someone to get assessed. They said a psychologist would be best. It’s happening soon and I’m nervous. I don’t care if I get diagnosed or not I’m just scared because I’ve heard horror stories of people with super ignorant and old s

Its a thought that I had today.

Maybe its just because I'm jaded and depressed but I've lost the point of media. Like at least back in the day watching the "hot" series on TV guaranteed that most other people had seen the most recent episode and you could talk about it. I think the last cultural

My wife took the RADS test with her therapist and scored very high, but is needing to get an official diagnosis. The problem is.. she does not talk to new people especially doctors, and absolutely does not do video visits. (We have a medical POA is I can speak with her doctors) My question is… is it
