I am wondering if anyone here wants more #kink content? I’m feeling a lack of #kinky community right now and wish to create one for the #neurodivergent adult community. Considering this platform is more open to #kinktalk I thought I’d post this here. I do have a #Discord server for Neurodivergent #kinksters but it’s rather inactive. Maybe I should create a separate account for such content? #autistic #autisticadult
Had a wonderful session with my therapist: I got to revisit and spend time with my most free, most authentic 5-year-old self. Unfortunately she was forced to be buried into a deep dark hole inside of me over the past 40 years, so I could survive by being what people expected me to be.
But omg it was so refreshing visiting her again! My therapist and I are gonna spend more time with her next week. :)
TL;DR — Does anyone have job recommendations or advice good for autistic/ADHD/PTSD people?
Ideally, it would be something:
- Low stakes
- Task-based instead of time-based (e.g. "complete these things and go home" instead of "work for 8 hours, then go home"
- >= $16/hour
- Flexible scheduling
- Creative and/or solitary
- Queer- and neurodivergent-supporting
---------------------------------------------
I currently work at $16/hour part-time in customer service and it's driving me insane. My therapist described it as "getting traumatized every day".
It also isn't enough to pay rent and have savings. Every month I can barely cover rent while living with 3 other roommates. I'm afraid that I'm constantly failing them.
After doing some research (looking up "jobs for autistic people" and getting a lot of Reddit posts), job recommendations include:
- Medical coding (requires months of training, $500 certification test + $70 retakes)
- Morgue body removal or pet cremation (dealing with dead people or pets)
- Factory work or janitor work Already worked these jobs and it was abysmal
- Creative fields animation, music, video games, video production. These jobs are so unstable and rare I can't actually pursue these

I'm in your sidecar on this one.
So much of what you're describing about your internal mental process aligns with mine.
I haven't really ever questioned myself about feelings towards other people vs my emotions, and categorizing people, but your opinions and questions inspire me to think about these things, and that says something about me.

When I don't have to make my face do things, I have energy to put towards other tasks.
#unmasking is going to be a lifelong process for me, especially as an Autistic woman.
Don't tell me to smile. I'll smile if and when I want to. 😘
I hate this time of year. The Dread starts around August when I 1st think abt the calls & making my excuses to avoid flying & all the end of the year stuff.
The Obligatory Thanksgiving calls are done so that's out of the way, but even though it's just me & my SO who I absolutely love not doing anything holiday-related, I'm still full-on in The Awful Time. The Holidays still happen & what is a well-needed break for most people is agonizing, life-draining hell for me.
My routines are destroyed for over a month. I'm always perceived. There's always noise. I'm locked in a masked freeze state. My time alone is completely stripped & I'm hiding in the bathroom just to get 5 minutes of solitude for a mini-meltdown so I can keep it together for another few hours. I am anxiously counting down until the holidays are over & I finally get a break from the chaos & intrusion. All while hating myself & feeling shame and guilt for every second of it because what an awful way to feel about spending time with someone you love. At least now I know I'm #Autistic & that's why.
35 days to go.
