Hi, I’m an autistic young adult and I recently lost my main comfort item. Do you have any advice on how to adapt/cope? It feels like my ability to handle and process everything else in my life has been reduced by 25%

I'm so sorry about that 😞 do you have any other comfort items or activities that help you? Obviously it's not the same, but they could still help you cope. If you can't think of anything, here are some things I do if my main comfort items aren't available:

- hugging a different toy with a similar texture/squeezing a pillow

- putting on a silly video from YouTube or a TV show I like

- eating a food I find comforting (for me that's pasta)

Also, allow yourself to feel whatever you're feeling about losing your item. Don't try to suppress it for other people's comfort or tell yourself it shouldn't feel like as big a deal as it does. It's OK to feel your emotions even if they don't necessarily make sense to everyone else. It might help to have a little 'ceremony' acknowledging the item - like a moment of silence, drawing a picture of it, writing a letter - whatever feels right for you.

I hope this helps and I hope you feel better soon ❤️

Do you have any advice for the Coliseum in FR? I get terribly stuck in the Scorched Forest, I can do ok damage but the speed of the enemies is so high that they get 2-3 turns to each one of mine and I just can't win in 3-enemy fights. It seems like the difficulty curve is way out pf wack. RN I'm just leveling in Woodland path but that's moving at a speed a good 50% less than a crawl.

this is the coli guide I use! I can pretty consistently tackle coli areas a level higher than my dragons using this thing

Fake Fic: A Light Side's Guide To The Care And Keeping Of A Snake

When Roman tries to summon deceit to suss out if one of Thomas’s friends has lied to him, he finds the snake man has disappeared. When he goes to investigate, he finds Deceit’s room in shambles and a beautiful yellow boa curled up in a pile on the floor. Can Roman find a way to keep Deceit from going full snake-brain before he finds the cure, or will Deceit lose his humanity one hiss at a time?

I'm pretty sure I'm autistic, but based on what I've read and the fact that I'm about to be 18, I doubt I would be able to get a diagnosis. My best friend is autistic and has told me that I have a lot of autistic traits, and I can heavily relate to a lot of other people's experiences and see how it impacts a lot of my life. However my mom is heavily against self diagnosis, and since she can't see most of the stuff, she thinks I'm exagerating or making excuses when I bring stuff up.

So. I know it's a daunting process, but it really helps to have a good support system while you're trying to get a diagnosis. So I would first suggest talking more with your mother (if you feel like it's safe to do so). I usually suggest making out a list of typically-autistic traits you experience and listing examples or specific times when you can remember those things (eg. Had a meltdown at walmart). If you have a list with examples, she may be able to remember some of those instances and start to see it. It took my mom a while to come around to. But this is basically what I did (but I didn't write it all out. I just talked with her about it).

As far as age. Yes, it can be harder to get a diagnosis after you're 18. There are also other factors (such as race and agab) that can make it harder too. However, I was tested at 21 and diagnosed at 22. So it's not always impossible.

As far as self-diagnosis, I know you said your mom is against it so I'm not saying to try to just go against what she believes. But I accept self-diagnosed autistics in my community. And I know I'm not the only one who does. Best of luck!
