I turned 33 (autism and age)

[@laurabaker81]

A belated happy birthday! I am 39 and still get id'd. Like you I still feel like a child too and don't relate to the adult world at all. I believe looking younger is really common in autistic people.

[@welcome12ization]

Thank you :) And thanks for sharing that it's similar for you too.

Happy birthday! I just made a cheesecake a couple of days ago as well for my brother's birthday, but it was New York style and I followed the recipe Binging with Babish published. It took all afternoon to make but came out wonderful. The best part was that it used 8 eggs! Lol

[@welcome12ization]

Thank you :) Sounds lovely!! I would like to make a New York cheesecake too.

@@welcome12ization here's the recipe I used. It's the third one down, except I skipped the brandy and nuts. I like his method since it doesn't use a water bath so you don't have to worry about your pan leaking. If you need any tips I'm happy to help. www.bingingwithbabish.com/recipes/piesfromwaitress

Happy Birthday. People always assume I'm younger than I am. I probably act a bit unsure of myself and I'm very low key.

[@welcome12ization]

Thank you, interesting that you look younger too :)

Autism's individual She been in mental health hospital. So that one that you not experience. There is interview on aspergers growth channel. About being having autism and being a mental health hospital. I commented. The being asleep a lot is true. In the day. Side effects to medication. Also increased hunger. Also like in lock down not much exercise. So back in 2001 I got to 16 and half stone still have photos. While in psychriast hospital. She about the intutionaised routine. I got that. I commented but this a rare comment. The ND movement don't know, I never mention it in the comments I was in MHU. Here is a link to throughly Auti podcast 14. Where the women talk about being in mental health hospital. I did listen to whole 1hr 40 mins. I listen to it pause it. Then go back watch list an hour later and finish listening to it. I mention it I though I thinking about the pod cadet now where is it. Here it is. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZC7p353p6l7bZY

It's actually way worse not to see people. You need the variance in bacteria / virus to survive.

Your accent sounds somewhere between England and a sort of posh Australia. What dialect is that?

[@welcome12ization]

Southern English :) That's interesting you say about sounding a bit posh Australian lol, I like that :)

Saturday evening I had cheese cake at a birthday party. So the day before.

[@welcome12ization]

Yum, what type of cheesecake was it, what fruit did it contain?

I always wonder if being skinny is a symptom of autism since so many autistic people are so skinny. I wonder if autism affects metabolism

[@welcome12ization]

That's interesting, I'm not sure of any research but it's an interesting theory, I wonder about that too.

[@lkjhb1]

@@welcome12ization I also notice those with more severe autism tend to be overweight. But that's probably due to behavior medication which often causes weight gain.

[@welcome12ization]

@@lkjhb1 Yes, I've noticed this too.

[@lkjhb1]

@@welcome12ization I'm very high functioning and I'm overweight but I wasn't always overweight in my life. I've been overweight since October 2017. Becoming a adult probably slowed down my metabolism.

Happy birthday! I'm baffled! I thought you were in your 20s. Mid I'd say.
