TL;DR: How do I appear more empathetic or like I care when I do. - I have been struggling with how my emotions work recently. Feeling overall apathetic towards people I'm close too and not knowing what people want me to do in certain situations. I get in trouble sometimes for not doing something or doing something the wrong way. - One of my biggest things is not helping people. If I people ask me to help I'm more than happy to help but if people are just doing something and are not having trouble I do not think about it. - (I have not been diagnosed with autism, and have a very old diagnosis of ADHD, but it's a possibility so I'm seeking support from both sides)

I'm going to make this short because I was supposed to go to bed a long time ago, it's super late already, WAY past the time I needed to go to bed.. But, I'm trying to figure out where to go to take an assessment to find out if I have autism. I had never even considered what's been going on with me my whole life could be autism until about 3-4 years ago.. since then I've taken MANY self-assessments scoring pretty highly. I've tried to check into where I could go to get one done, I'm in SC USA and there don't seem to be many places here to go to. If anyone knows some information that could help, I'd greatly appreciate it 😊

Hey I’m looking for some help as my special interest and comfort show comes to an end. This show has been my whole life since I discovered it years ago. I care about it very deeply and it has gotten me through a lot. It’s coming to an end in a year or so and I don’t know what to do with myself. Yes I can and will rewatch it a million times but it’s not the same. They are also coming out with a mobile game which is nice but it’s not the same as the show. It’s called the Dragon Prince if anyone is curious. There was even a period of time where I would constantly live in a maladaptive daydreaming world because the characters and setting of the show where my only comfort. I haven’t dealt with being force to lose a special interest since my little pony fim ended. It still holds a special place in my heart from my childhood but it was a devastating loss. I don’t know anyone that cares about this show at all so I am at a complete loss of how to deal with this. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Recomendations on low key ear protection. I prefer over the ear headphones but they're big. I'd love some ear plugs also, but I also have weird shaped ears and some earplugs don't fit or are super unconfortable (for example I've tried 2 different types of loops one had hard plastic outsides and didn't fit my ears at all. The silicone ones were better but not great. I liked vibes better but still ehhh.) I need new ones and would LOVE recomendations.

I got diagnosed with sciatica Saturday. I work from home at a desk job and I am in the worst pain ever. I was prescribed ibuprofen but it isn't doing anything and the IcyHot they suggested I use just adds a different level of uncomfortable. I could really use some advice, I'm looking into getting a standing desk so I'm less sedentary all the time but it's expensive and so is a better desk chair. anyone have any tips or tricks for pain management?

How do you deal with getting dizzy at the gym and avoiding overdoing your workout? Sometimes I go in feeling superhuman and incredibly focused, but after I get done or close to the end of my cardio, I realize I've pushed myself way too hard and now I'm gonna feel bad for the rest of the day.

alikes with low support autism, did getting a diagnosis help in any way? I think I might be autistic, but a lot of my symptoms/traits are related to anxiety and OCD which I've always been told I have. just curious if I should pursue a diagnosis or if it's not worth it.

I'm struggling to understand if I have ADHD or ASD or both. I get sensory overload in loud settings, when multiple conversations are going on at once. I do a lot of stimming (singing to myself, biting fingernails, twirling hair, tapping, etc.) My mind races with anxiety and worst case scenario thinking (especially at work and high pressure settings.) I often feel misunderstood and like I'm unable to fully communicate confidently. I have a hard time finding motivation. I'm very sleepy more than most people. I want to try and have a better idea of what I'm dealing with. Any advice would be incredibly appreciated! ♥️
