Love and relationships
Hi. Things were coming along very well. We met on a dating app a few months ago and have been actively dating and talking daily since. Until last week. He is ND and had ADHD. He was very diligent about contacting me daily, via text mostly, phone or FaceTime. I also reached out to him. We have...

Hi. Long time without posting. I started classes again. After 5 years being unable to stay in a class with people of my age, I tried again. And the experience is being incredible so far. I've met incredible people, we support each other constantly. We even did a small party on Saturday and it...

My son excels at imaginative play, of all things. (He hasn't been officially diagnosed, but I suspect he is neurotypical.) I love him dearly, but he is mentally exhausting. His sort of play is utter chaos and requires getting ALL HIS TOYS spread ALL OVER THE HOUSE. I don't mean a pretty magazine...
I would hope that anyone into Science Fiction knows of the works of William Gibson. His novels are always based on the relative states of politics, technology, and society, in the time they are written. It takes the socio-economic and political tenor of the times and projects forward from it...

I need a place to process and it might as well be here. My mother died about a week ago. She was 78, tired of being alive and basically asked us to stop all diagnostics and treatments. It's fine. My daily life behavior is concerning to me though. I can't really grieve normally. I can't grieve...

James stood in the driveway wishing he were a plumber once again. He had been a darn good plumber after all; he had single-handedly run the waterworks of an entire Navy base and never had even a complaint about his work. With his feet glued to the driveway, he thought longingly of the days spent...

Alice had celebrated her 100th birthday yesterday, most likely a Monday. She didn’t really keep track of the days so much anymore. It’s not that she had trouble remembering, it’s just that it simply didn’t matter as each day was more or less the same. The prescribed days of the week did not...

I saw someone that went to the same college as me. Same class. It made me remember how horrible those days were. I had no one and i was constantly scared not knowing how to act. How to make friends how to pretend. I was so depressed and emotionally unstable. Sometimes it feels like i never...

Do you ever notice random smells and end up thinking about them for what seems like way longer than you should? Maybe this is just a me thing, but it happens a lot. I'm not sure if my sense of smell is more sensitive than everyone around me, or if I just pay more attention to smells. Anyways...

Hubby says a big reason he is acting like this is a sense of futility because I say "do x to fix it" and from his perspective he does x and it doesn't help. "Help" = it ends the conflict entirely. I don't know if the issue is on his end or mine. Some theories: 1. He has a much longer...

Self care is telling my son "I have to save my ears for the fair. I won't be able to answer you right now because I am saving my brain so I can help you at the fair since it will be very loud." And doing it without guilt. I love my kid enough to love my brain enough to titrate my sensory...

Historically I don't do journaling etc very consistently. We will see. I envision this to be a space where I can talk about cool stuff. And hopefully a place to bring my intense feeling self. Because I am married to an autist that has more classic symptoms he is overwhelmed by my emotional...
