This is my friend from elementary school who said this to me after my daughter died.
“ I mean this with so much love.... You know how hard nannying is? Mothering is harder. More thankless too. I know me telling you this will likely just piss you off, but the freedom you have is what every mother wishes she had. Every single one”
I didn’t respond.
She has since reached out saying “I hope you’re ok”.

Perfect example of thinking I’m being taken because I’m autistic and miss cues.
Is this creepy or is it just me?
So I tend to a community garden and often see this fellow when I’m there and he sometimes chats to me about the garden.
Today he was saying how fascinating the birds that I’ve attracted to the area with my plants are.
Then he said how cool it is that they lay eggs and asked me to explain how the fertilization of the eggs works…he’s in his 50’s but I gave him the benefit of the doubt and briefly explained how it works.
Then he said “and it’s even more fascinating how it works with humans and the woman having the womb and the baby growing”…while gesturing to his stomach.
I felt super uncomfortable and just stared and didn’t respond.

Some maybe may never understand you; how to be ok with that?
I’ve struggled my whole life and became an orphan at 18 due to a tragic event.
Now fast forward- I am 40 and have a brain injury. Also was just diagnosed with Autism and ADHD.
My life looks different now, I am no longer pushing to be what society deems “successful” and nearly losing my life in the process.
I’m having a tough time coming to terms with how my body isn’t able to do what I wish it could and the grief that comes with my future looking different than I imagined.
The person I am disclosing in is my aunt who I was close to…especially after losing my mom.
I let go of all my toxic friends and family and have the future to look forward to. A sustainable future that works for me 🙂
She just doesn’t get it and may never.
“My dear, I need to get more details about your situation. I hardly understand how it is possible what happened to you, a day a girl Independent, strong, traveling alone all around the world and the day after penniless, even homeless, no friends, no relatives, what happened? I don't understand why you suddenly couldn't get a job”.
Seggsual predator at the shelter I’m staying at won’t leave me alone.
I’m staying at a co-ed shelter and a large man invited me to sit on his lap and lick his joint shut for him while making the oral seggs motion with his finger and lips.
I told the supervisor and she said he has to actually act and do something before they can discharge him…and went to get his side of the story as that’s their policy.
Later in the day a worker approached me and said to be careful as that man who did the licking motion seems unhinged.
I feel scared and the guy today was telling other residents I’m making yo stories and “one of those women who makes up lies to try and get men locked up- a man hater”.
How to stay safe when I can’t just leave.

I'm staying at a shelter and there isn't a moment of alone time or quiet.
It's really teaching me a lot about my needs and it's hard to endure.
People are ALWAYS talking at me and it makes my ears feel like they're bleeding...
No privacy here at all.
Men are predatory and harassing me.
Also I'm autistic and the bad body odours amongst feces smell and smearmed on the walls regularly.
Anyone relate or have tips and tricks to make it

I'm autistic and need help coping.
I just need solidarity and support. It's about a man being gross!!
I'm staying somewhere where I can't leave for the next 3-4 months...a new person came to stay at the same property and he's being inappropriate.
I've reported him and now I have to find ways to manage.
He asked me to help roll his cigarette and made a sexual going down on you motion with his tongue
insinuating going down on me.
I refused and he then pushed and said "come on, you can do it" and made the tongue with finger motion again.
It's so hard living in a world with so many unsafe men
