how to wash your dishes with autism/sensory issues
i live in an apartment and have to wash all of my own dishes by hand. this is what i have found helpful
getting started: i also have depression which often means dishes get left for a while. i have an agreement with my housemates about how long is ok for dishes to be left not done. everything about living with other people starts with communication but ultimately they are my dishes i have to do them no one else can.
starting: notice how you are doing sensory wise every day. if it's a day where i had to wear my weirdly texture rain jacket my socks got wet and the bus was loud then that means just as i come home is Not a good time to do dishes. i Will start flinching at every sound, hate everything i am touching, and feel gross for an hour afterwards if i do the dishes right now. so i'm going to wait.
when is a good time to do dishes? if today isn't a bad depression day i often say "im going to do the dish" as in: if i just ate cereal im only going to wash my bowl and spoon. it's not a lot of work, it hasn't been sitting in the sink, and the longer i can keep up doing exactly the dishes i just used the less dishes i have to do at once.
if there are dishes piled up i take note of that and find a time when say, ive been inside for a while, ive been just on my computer, or phone, or writing for a while, this means im not sensory overwhelmed.
what to do while doing the dishes:
no one said you have to only be doing the dishes. put on some music, an audiobook, call your friend, put on your favorite podcast or podfic. you distract yourself
how to leave the dishes:
the thing to me that makes or breaks how icky i feel while doing the dishes is how they are left. i personally hate touching cold wet things to i try to have as little water as possible in the sink while my dishes are sitting there. but i know that w something like peanut butter, melted cheese, oatmeal, yogurt, or dough from baking those things will cement to the dishes if you don't deal with them. you can either do a bit of cleaning right when you put them in the sink or let them soak. i try to leave enough dry edge so i can tip the water out later with a dry hand
sensory issues with dishes:
the main problem with dishes is that there are a lot of sensory things happening at once and they're all quite irregular.
sound:
music or even earplugs can help with the sounds of the sink the dishes clinking each other ect. but also running the water a little less and setting the dishes down slowly can do wonders for having less loud sounds. also if you have a garbage disposal doing that only at the very end.
texture:
dish gloves help some people with the textures but me personally i don't like the gloves because it adds another texture of the inside of the gloves and augments the texture of anything that i am touching. but someone else may love gloves for exactly the same reasons.
the other thing to note about textures is the tools you are using. i like to use a sponge for most things but for things i don't want to touch as much i use a scrub brush w a stick so i'm far away from whatever soup is still at the bottom of my pot or whatever.
temperature:
temperature is one of the more overlooked senses but with dishes its very prevalent. you never want the water too hot because you really can burn yourself but having the water at a good temperature and then letting it run over all the dishes will make it so each dish you are touching is a relatively uniform temperature instead of your tea cup being hot the dishes from this morning being cold.
soap:
you can try to find soap that has a scent that bothers you the least, you can find soap that comes in a container that makes sense to you and easiest for you. if the soap bottle is getting to be a weird texture you can wash said soap bottle to get it back to its original texture.
other sensory notes:
you can do any activity you want in less light, so long as you have enough to work safely.
you can do any activity sitting down. maybe for the sink you'll want a stool instead or a chair near by to take breaks in
if you have people who can help you, you can ask for help. you can ask for a buddy to do a task with, or someone to body double, or you can ask reasonably if someone else can do the dishes on a bad day. these are all tips for making it a not as bad of a time and for figuring out when are times it won't be really bad. but if it is going to be bad, or if say there's complicated dishes from baking or cooking, you can ask for help and it Makes Sense to ask for help.
where to put away the dishes:
if you notice that something sensory sucks about retrieving clean dishes you have the power to prevent that from happening. example: pulling a glass cup that is stacked inside another glass cup is squeaky and bad texture to me.
if drying dishes is hard for you maybe get a drying rack or lay down a dish towle and put them on there or put them away semi wet but keep the cupboards open so there won't be anything gross
really bad days:
you can keep some disposable plates and cups and silverware for bad days, there's nothing wrong with that. if you're worried about the environment get recycle-able or compostable ones. you can also see what kinds of food come with their own container or dont necessary need a second container. example: if you have your own personal container of take out or ice cream you can eat that from its container. or mixed together stuff box salads or premade stuff can be eaten from their containers
i hope this is helpful to somebody, these are all only from my personal experience, leave more tips in rbs if you have them

Let’s talk Elegy because I’m currently working on the living Polaroids for it and I’m having thoughts
Tumblr media
First things first - the bowling shoes really accentuate the height difference in this scene. She’s tiny. Also, they’re so goddamn flirty in this scene, from her delivery of ‘I would have thought that after three years you’d know exactly what that look was’ to his showing off and her impressed smirk. It’s almost too much.
Tumblr media
He’s showing off and what’s sickening is that she likes it
Tumblr media
You’re in public! There are children around! It’s vulgar and inappropriate! Please get a room!
But, no a more serious note this scene in particular definitely feels like they’re both doing their best to pretend she’s not dying - we we know for sure now after the last episode that she is (‘Agent Scully is in the hospital.’ ‘She’s undergoing some imaging tests. Her, uh, oncologist was concerned about some microscopy results that, uh, her tumour may be metastasising’ and ‘agent Scully is dying!’) there’s no doubt in any of their minds that this is the end and I always get the feeling with Elegy that they are both taking each and every day as it comes at this point and cherishing the moments that they get to spend out in the field with one another - he’ll show of his bowling skills and she’ll smile just a little more than normal and tease him just a little more, and maybe if they just keep having days like this - good days, where she doesn’t feel so bad - they’ll be alright. Obviously, it goes south quite quickly, but they’re treasuring the good moments.
Tumblr media
Thought two: that sceptical look she gives him. Dana Scully is the queen of sceptical looks but this is one of my favourites. This is one that says ‘I was so turned on moments ago by your bowling prowess but you’ve just poured soda on the ground and now I’m concerned for your welfare’
Tumblr media
I’ve never noticed before the way he wraps his arm around her to show her what he’s looking at. I dunno, it’s just a real tender moment and I feel insane I feel like I want to gnaw through the very wood they’re laying on.
Tumblr media
He looks so lost. Screaming crying throwing up

I realized many jujutsu fans, especially after this week's leaks, start joking they wish it got one piece treatment. because oda doesn't kill his little meow meows and keeps resurrecting everyone etc etc.
you fools. you silly jesters. have no idea what are you wishing for.

Oh dear lord—
Being a geto kinnie means that it's hard for you to articulate the right words to express how you feel about yourself because you've become too detached to the point where you aren't certain of your own thoughts.
Being a geto kinnie means that you couldn't bring yourself to ask for help because you only let people view you as someone who's head strong and someone they can rely on. Vulnerability and apathetic-ness makes you feel guilty and you hate yourself for that because on another end, you have an undeniably big God Complex.
Being a geto kinnie means that you're not the type to easily let new people into your life, you have a heavy case of trust issues. Hence why you have the tendency to only be so protective towards the few people you care for.
Being a geto kinnie means that you're unable to forget your past mistakes that haunt you till this day. You are unable to forgive yourself because you've lived long enough to know what couldn't be forgiven.

Benjamin and Kasidy are talking, Julian stops by their table to deliver something to Ben.
Kasidy: Why hello stranger! I haven't seen you in days.
Julian: I've been filling out reports for Starfleet Medical. [He hands a padd to Ben]
Kasidy: I knew there was a reason I didn't join Starfleet, I couldn't do this paperwork.
Julian: Smart. [He receives the padd back and walks away. His tone is flat and tired.]
Kasidy: Well, there was a time when you couldn't get him to shut up! [She glances at Julian, confused and slightly concerned.]
Ben: I think I like him better this way.
Kasidy: That's mean. [Her tone is reproachful.]
Ben: I was just kidding. [He laughs breathily and smiles.]
Kasidy: No, you weren't. [She looks unhappy and shakes her head softly.]
[Ben's smile drops and they look at each other, both bothered.]
---
I don't even know what I want to say about this moment rn, just, every time I see it, it makes me love Kasidy more and simultaneously really want to just shake Sisko around.

I wish my mental illness was more "cute" and profitable and relatable.
I wish my anxiety was the kind where I needed to just sip tea in a blanket fort instead of having panic attacks so violent I throw up everything in my stomach and need to go to the hospital.
I want my depression to be "just a little sad" instead of loosing time for weeks and weeks and being too stuck in my own head to ask for help.
I need my OCD to be more "color coded markers" or "must wash hands NOW" instead of having to trigger myself in order for An Event not to happen.
I am begging for my intrusive thoughts to be about eating leaves or yelling curse words instead of thinking about throwing myself into the nearest highway or self mutilation or things I'm scared to type.

anyway this is an informal post to say that if you ever really wanted to see me write something and if you were willing to shell out some cash to guarantee me to write it, unlike my slowly tumbling pile of ask requests, i would do that and my dms are open
