she has been dealing with some long term health problems that seem to flare up when she loses weight. she's never been a healthy weight but especially after covid she just gets skinnier and skinnier.

she is at the point where its no longer a choice to not eat its what she's used to, and even taking afew bites makes her "full" or "nauseous from how much she ate."

is it a good idea to make more calorically dense food to get more nutrients into her and see if it helps or do you think she would need medical help?

when im stressed out I get an accent

​

its a really bad fake british/southern accent. I haven't got it recently but now that I remember it i feel like it might come back. I get angry at myself for speaking the accent and I keep trying to stop do the accent but I can't.

​

usually its just for a little if im reminded of it or its particularly funny. sometimes its almost a whole day. when I was in the psych ward last year I could only talk to people if I did the accent. when I would speak, it would turn into the accent no matter how hard I tried not to. it went away after I calmed down though.

it was like

​

yall I reckon im gonna fancy a spot of tea .. fuck sorry I don't know why I keep doing that... I would like some tea please? fancy a spot of tea?

​

should I be worried?? do other people do this? is this an autistic thing?

what is that all about? #weird.....

My dad tells me that all men are attracted to their family members just subconsciously, and that nearly all men would sleep with their daughter/niece in the right conditions. he used to tell me he felt uncomfortable when I was more scantily clothed in front of him::. although i was ten and it was a sweater that showed my belly if I lifted my arms real high. I am unsure if this is common and normal or if he is being weird.

I'd like to raise cows. I want my cattle to be able to walk around freely as I do, following me around like a dog.

is there size limits for pets? I'd only need one cow( though I would appreciate more, I haven't that kind of responsibility yet.) and he will eat the grass on my lawn, and the grass he comes across in our travels. I would like to travel with my cow, like a traveling merchant with his Llamas. I will outfit the cow with a little bag harness and I will walk with him to my destination(ie, store,) tie him up outside, and then come out to the cow and load my groceries.i do not wish to slaughter the cow for meat as he is strictly my cow buddy. this would be eco-friendly in comparison to cars. I can walk a long distance as long as I have a friend to talk to and I don't have heavy bags. a cow friend would solve all of these problems.

will they try and stop me from doing this? I want to return to a simpler time when you wupd have a bond with your horse and he was your car. but with a cow.

thanks!

edit: perhaps keeping a cow with me in an urban area is a bad idea. but still, could I have my herd? I want to be a shepherd like in the old days. walking around with my cows.

edit again: I live really rural on the coast and alot of people around me walk their sheep and goats. cows are bigger so I wasn't sure if they were different

neurodivergents have a higher rate of substance use compared to neurotypcal people.

the typical lazy stoner character (Jeff fisher, for example) is someone depicted to be high all of the time, and his behavior is because of that. in real life( and I would argue in American dad aswell) even if you sober them up they act the same.people think that the weed changed their personality such drastically, but I think it's always been there.

most smokers start or at least try weed in their teens. that is also when higher masking autistic people begin to struggle more aswell.

I've been perceived as The Stoner Archetype most of my life despite being completely sober. I had health issues that stopped me from being able to smoke back then. If I hadnt, I surely would've participated.

I smoke now, and most of the friends I've made from that are also neurodivergent. with the same spacey, flat autism mannerisms I've got. they fit into the archetype pretty well, except for the fact that they are NOT high all the time. actually, I would say even less often than NT smokers.

non ND stoners act completely different. they are impaired from the weed whitch causes their odd behavior. more typical addiction type behavior.(not to say autists are immune from addiction, I mean more that neurodivergents are often way less heavy of smokers than they appear. )

this is even more strikingly obvious when you meet someone who hasn't even touched a ciggarete in their life who everyone assumes is high. it's a large portion of people.

I'm not good at talking but I love American dad and jeff fircher

I've been through the wringer of mental health treatment, to eventually land with afew diagnosises, however none explained my Psychosis. I used to think I was schizophrenic; most people also thought so at first, but after my autism diagnosis they started to not think that. I was pretty young, (15) and my idea of what schizophrenia was was wrong. I had the long term Psychosis(about a year before I finally got medicated which helped but didn't completely remove the issue) and I was so frustrated that nobody seemed to be taking me seriously.

I saw I had positive symptoms( the psychosis) and I also thought I had the negative symptoms, however now I belive those were caused by my audhd rather than schizophrenia.

I wanted a diagnosis to explain what I was going through, to understand it or something. but I've recently been smoking alot of weed and I realise, psychiatric diagnosises are alot like mtbi. it's helpful to group things together, but alot of people don't really fit exactly into their diagnosises. especially with personality disorders.

I dont need to find an answer. even if I don't have a diagnosis that explains my symptoms, it doesn't mean I am not having those symptoms. I just need to focus my energy on not going crazy again.

I also realise the average person does not know all the stuff about psychiatry that I have had to learn. when I tell friends about my episodes, they immediately go to: "your schizophrenic, right?" and while it's not technically true, I do have all the symptoms (for other reasons), and instead of explaining all that, it's easier to say, "yeah, something like that."

tl/Dr: I have every/most symptoms of schizophrenia but it is from other causes. it is easier to tell people "I might be schizophrenic or something" than to explain all the things that make me appear schizophrenic to the untrained eye.
