#Also sensory issues

not me using eyeless jack to cope with my own mental issues and thus placing said mental issues on the character :D

I understand my looks could be improved with makeup, and I'm not against looking better than I do naturally, and it's not about the money - it's that applying makeup properly is a skill I don't want to put the effort into learning.

Edit: sensory issues can be counted under "otherwise medically unable to" if you feel that to be appropriate

ok i swear i'm not going to talk about my breakup forever but the thing that just keeps bothering me:

i know that not getting what you need in a relationship is a COMPLETELY valid reason to end it but also. i feel like having a very vulnerable moment where i opened up about my struggles with intimacy and being relieved that i didn't have to keep doing things i wasn't comfortable with, then being dumped a YEAR later because of my lack of intimacy. is something i should be allowed to be very hurt by???

Hello! I hope you're having a pleasant day.

I purchased one of your twill jackets, Witchhazel, and it's gorgeous in person but the fabric is rather stiff. I want to soften it but I don't want to ruin the coat in the process. Is it safe to run in the dryer with dryer sheets? Not wet, of course; I looked over the product page and didn't see anything about this other than to hang dry.

i think the best way, if you can tolerate the stiffness, is just to wear it day to day and let the fabric 'break in' as its worn

but otherwise i wouldnt recommend drying it - it damages the embroidery over time and also might shrink the fabric. a little controversial (lol) but washing cold with a good fabric softener works for me! (and then air dry)

Please tell me I'm not the only person with sensory issues revolving fingernails (and to a lesser extent, toenails). I keep my nails super short (like, literally as short as possible) because I hate hate HATE getting shit stuck under my nails. Even when they're clean I hate the feeling of longer nails.

I love Deanna Troi because she’s representative of an autistic experience you don’t see on TV a lot which is “I learned all about human interaction the same way that one might learn about cool bugs so I know what makes people tick and in THEORY I know the right things to say in social situations but socializing like that is not the least bit natural to me and I don’t know what to do if the situation doesn’t match up with what I studied.” Except for her instead of having JUST learned about human interaction she is also psychic and so she partially relies on that too.

The episode where she loses her powers and suddenly cannot read people at all, not even to the level humans usually can, totally screws up trying to give therapy, and becomes so distraught she tries to resign from her job as a therapist, is so real. Like listen if she wasn’t autistic that wouldn’t have been such a big deal. Deanna Troi is an empath with low empathy, she’s using her psychic powers to compensate for her symptoms.

Also the episode where she hears some annoying music and completely loses her mind about it and screams and sobs and must be put into a medically induced coma because she’s so upset by the music and the alien that made her hear the annoying music seems genuinely confused about why it bothered her so much (meaning that like, that wasn’t the intended or normal effect of his annoying music ability).

Even outside those episodes where it’s so obvious though, everything she says to people tends to read as extremely scripted, like she knows it’s what she ought to say but it isn’t what she would say if she was just being herself. Queen of masking. What is the real you like, if you even still have one? She’s just like me for real

Post: you NEED to eat more than 2 types of vegetables I DONT CARE IF YOURE AUTISTIC IM AUTISTIC TOO AND CAN DO IT WHICH MEANS YOU DEFINITELY CAN TOO!!! Just find a way to make them taste good Its literally sooo easy!!!!

The notes: yeah! Here's some ways you can do that: *lists 1000 mouth torturing methods*

[buglover77]

oh, so when SPIDER-MAN can sense a bug moving on the wall across the room, doesn’t have the fine motor control to get the right amount of toothpaste, and can feel each individual drop of sweat down his neck, it’s a “super power,” but for me it’s a “sensory processing disorder” yeah okay sounds fake doc I think you just don’t want me to stop you from committing crimes, how about THAT

[joltrify]
