“My penis😏”

“They hadn’t seen a woman for weeks and the Australians would lure them to the bottom of the sea and they’d drown.”

I was financially hit by a ton of fucking bricks (this was less than $30, I’m just poor and being poor is expensive😫) shortly after ordering this, but it was so worth it to have something that sparks joy via an autistic special interest

Happy top surgery anniversary to me, LOOK IT’S NATHAN!!! NATHAN IS ON MY SWEATER EEEEEEE!!! IT’S NATHAAAAANNNN!!!

Context:

I have pretty severe ARFID and have since I was a child.

I have tried nutrition classes, therapy, meal planning, gently / slowly trying new foods, and admittedly maladaptive coping strategies (tough it out / "just eat it") since I was frequently punished for my ARFID when I was young. Nothing has helped.

Despite my efforts, l've NEVER found a professional who is educated enough about ARFID specifically to actually help me.

One of my friends (who does not have ARFID) recommended this book and said that “someone with ARFID recommended this.” But, I am hesitant to read it because my window of tolerance for unhelpful food advice is frankly almost completely closed.

ARFID is just something that I've had to get used to, even though it is a constant struggle.

Notes:

I unfortunately cannot afford supplements / protein sneaking smoothies / other methods of adding in necessary nutrients and calories, please do not suggest it.

But, if you have 1) honest feedback about this book 2) any other books that did help you, I will gladly take recommendations. Thanks!

I’m new to this sub and I was crying whilst reading these entries. I haven’t ever had anyone to relate to about my ARFID on this level. Thank y’all for sharing. Holy shit.

HIS SMUG LITTLE FACIAL EXPRESSION HERE RIGHT AFTER SHE SAYS “OKAY” IS SO FUNNY AND ALSO SO CUTE, I can’t be the only one who sees it

May your day be restorative, easeful, and fun.💜

EDIT: YA’LL I ended up getting paid a surprise bonus from a show and was able to buy a Nathan sweatshirt😭Thank you for the jokes and advice, they are appreciated, as online shopping is not in my wheelhouse! Trying v hard not to feel guilty because I literally never buy myself anything, but I’m also v excited at the same time because his comedy has genuinely made such a difference in my life🥹

screams

I haven’t been this fan-girled out over an auDHD special interest in a v long time, but it’s reached the point where I’m yearning to buy merch😫😫😫

I’m disabled / low income and can’t afford it at the moment, but I’m hoping to save up and get myself a piece of Nathan merch as either a top surgery anniversary or birthday present.

I am curious if anyone has any recs for online purchasing sites of Nathan merch that are:
-lower cost
-still good quality

I can almost never buy myself anything due to my socioeconomic status, but I’m going to try and just want to make it count ! His comedy has truly been bringing me so much needed joy lately and it would be comforting to have something around that reminds me of that happy feeling.

Anyway, thanks for reading, this is unironically v important to me.

Nathan’s comedic style is usually so monotone and deadpan, but hearing him do baby talk in this interview is such a delight

This episode cracks me up (all of them do, but I’m starting to think that this is one of my favorites)

I understand that a big part of the joke is the fact that it is mumbled, but knowing Nathan’s attention to detail, I am wondering if the lyrics themselves are secretly witty and funny!
