I'm a chatty sort. How was your day.
I got off work less than an hour ago, stopped by the gas station on the way home and got a fountain drink. I saw a family of ducks crossing the road and took a picture of them. Just relaxing now and listening to my "anxiety calm" playlist.
This is an episode of a podcast I started listening to recently, "Christianity on the Spectrum". The episodes are about data he's collected from talking to various autistic Christians and their opinions on various topics within or related to Christianity.
I spent two or three years doing some searching and prayer before last year, when I decided to join the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) class. RCIA (now called OCIA for Order of Christian Initiation for Adults) is how you join the Catholic Church as an adult.
I've gone through...
I go by Collie in online spaces.
In truth I don't really vibe well with conservative Christian spaces. I haven't been conservative for at least... 5? 6? 7 years? Longer? But I used to be very active here. Always been a quirky oddly passionate weirdo no matter where I am.
So far as my history...
Started taking it today, and have been worried about the side effects. So far so good! Was worried I'd be stuck on the toilet all day :lol
I don't typically get many side effects, so was hoping that'd be the case here.... I pray the good streak continues!
(Not looking for medical advice...
I went in with fairly low expectations, seeing as a lot of Christian movies are poorly written. I think most of them focus so hard on trying to be preachy that they miss out on everything else.
I really enjoyed this one and thought it was excellent. Essentially a retelling of the story of Job...
Some people have commented on how I seem obsessive over certain topics. These topics also tend to be things I'm quite passionate and opinionated about.
There is a reason for this:
Autism.
Once again.
My brain is wired very differently from non-autistic brains. I recently took a self-paced...
For the past few years I've been in constant cycles of depression and anxiety, with a long string of dysfunctional behavior in my closest friendships to the point I nearly ruined them forever. At one point last year I went to the mental hospital for a 24 hour hold.
Since about September, I've...
So my Dr suspects I have PCOS and we've done at least 4 hormone panels over the last year or so. Thing is, my hormones all came back normal every time.
My Dr still thinks it's possible, so is trying to get me a referral to an endocrinologist. Mainly because I have all the symptoms: trouble...
For me....
1. I Will Not Bow by Breaking Benjamin
For me, this song reflects my more human nature. The part of me that selfishly wants to shut out the world and live life as a hermit, interacting with people only minimally. How cynical I've grown compared to when I was still in young...
So prayer is requested as it has been pointed out to me that I may have absence seizures. Next dr appointment I will ask for testing for this.
It first became apparent at work, where I'll just space out for a few seconds. I don't quite remember what happens in those few seconds, but I just...
Do you ever find that your prayers are sometimes just "here are my feelings and well wishes and petitions for others", because you can't do words at the moment?
So as some of you are aware, earlier this year I was diagnosed with autism level 1.
I thought I'd make this thread to talk about late diagnosis in adults and traits that might point to having autism. Also, it's a nice break from heavier stuff. And I just find this sort of thing fascinating to...
