Iwtl How do some of you guys keep a regulated nervous system and positivity most of the time. I do my best but its still kinda hard ?

Yk im in hs, take therapy, nutrients, supplements but being positive is a lil hard ya know especially with constant surround by negativity and complainers at school some people are super cool but theres people who talk bad abt others all the time, goofers, popular girls and stuff being very loud and I get stressed so I wanna kinda separate school work from my personal life and want to be surrounded in nature, socialize with my friends, and be a better person and stuff

Whats your greatest accomplishments in life? I mean some of you gals got high paying jobs, good kids, getting phds, uni, living stress free, etc etc.

Im so curious what some of the women with autism can do cause personally I haven't been a fan of the infantilazation of autistic women. Like media portrays us as people who are slow, dumb, behind mentally and hides it behind a sign that says "Autism is a superpower, harness it!". Its like they're trying to make it seem as if we were a whole different breed but ik many of us can fit into society, blend in, make friends with over neurotypicals and neurodivergents. We just get extremely exahusted but its not like we were some kind of alien who isn't capable of being charismatic and successful. So tell me what's your greatest achievements I wanna know! For me I think definitely being able to make others like me in interactions by bringing positive energy but also competent at what I do like getting things done while studying by the beach, nature, the library. And my lifelong dream is to live in a pretty house by the beach or in the woods and work enough to retire early by 7 years. Oh and im applying to nursing cause yk I wanna work 3 days a week and the rest of the days have it for myself. Is it possible to do all this? It all seems scary. But I really wanna get motivated by you all so let me know! I love reading reddit stories (special intrest hahaha)

Drop social rules you were surprised to find out. I'll go first

So people describe me as very bubbly and energetic and able to make eye contact when im masking and making people feel good , asking questions and scripting. Sharing personal life. Etc etc. I always wondered tho why some popular kids in HS were targeting me specifically when there were other autistic people there too and weirder than me. It wasn't until I found out that I was doing something so freaking stupid now that I realize it. Once I have a tired face I look so bitter and bitchy but I was the only one scanning the room constantly cause im always curious whats going on qnd I noticed other autistic people don't do that. Several times (like 4x) I've scanned the room with my fugly looking face and my eyes landed on a few of them and recently I've heard them saying "oh that one sat right there is so bitter and yadah yadah". And I was upset at first but like now I totally understand like my face looks like I hate and envy you. So thats a crazy realization to me that may have not been obvious. And ice scanned the room SO many times bruh its a rare instance where im actually with neurotypicals this time

Extreme hygeine routine yet still BO?

​

My breath NEVER EVER stinks because I have an exceptional oral care routine like tounge scrape, floss, brush 3x repeat. and im always chewing gum and drinking lots of water so thats outta the way. However, people say my sweat or sum does

I would and mostly do usually take 2 showers a day day and night for 1h each shower using dove and antibacterial soap and all that and exfoliating everything until my hand skin would peel and all of that. Night I would do a deep clean and antiperspirant and then in the morning I would shower again. But I couldn't my skin started to peel and really dry out. I washed my sheets weekly and blankets. And then I would shower AGAIN and put deo and antiperspirant again. I would go to school and put on clean clothes but, people would say behind my back that I have bad BO. Like "she ain't shower wtv". And I drink Hella water, have antibacterial wipes, use apple cider vinegar on underarms and rinse. I thought it was my cup of coffee that made me sweat but I went on a coffee detox for a month and still got called that I smelled bad. So idk wth im gonna do now. Even a new kid I sit next to covered his nose and he's not a bully he seems like a super nice kid. So what in the world is going on. Even my friends drop subtle hints like "yeah i took a shower" etc etc even if the topic got nothing to do with it. I get extremely stressed abput it and all the time im paranoid about my body odor so yeah... People are too nice to tell me tho. This is really embarrassing can yall help me pls

Enzyme detergent is not working?! Help a gal out pls

Hey everyone! So basically I almost went bankrupt buying a laundry detergent since I use so much polyster in my clothes and stuff. But basically my mom used to wash all clothes including my polyster ones and once they get out the washer they dont smell fully clean its like semi clean just passing and it felt like waxy, I find out it was due to fabric softener so I was like ima just do my own laundry cause we all got preferences right?. So I bought on Amazon a expensive laundry detergent with amazing reviews. So I started handwashing my stuff in the bathtub and stuff and im literally exhausted all the time but I would do anything for clothes that smell amazing. The only thing is that the water comes out clear and doesent foam its just like super light murky with tiny white particles if you look real close . But for some reason my clothes at the end smell like skin like literally skin when you smell like someone's hand or sum or like bleach from a pool once you get out. Ik this is weird but I dont wanna get odor rebloom cause like imagine me a student in class and everyone is like "wth is that smell" any suggestions help ! Thank
