New, what is it? this thing really bothers me and i don’t know if it’s autism or ocd

• Upvotes

hi guys. i am a 23 yr old afab person \[esfp, 2w3, sanguine, lawful good\] and ive been diagnosed with adhd, ocd, anxiety, ptsd and depression. i have a feeling that i have autism but i haven’t been assessed for it. i have an ocd therapist and i feel like recently when ive been talking to her she makes everything i do and that bothers me about my ocd and i feel like some things just tie better to autism bc i dont know which ghey fall under. i know theres a high comorbidity for adhd/ocd/autism so its entirely possible that a lot of things could be any one of them.

my issue is that i like having things in a certain way. i get immense feelings of discomfort when people stand or walk on my left side, idk why i just can’t stand it. sometimes it’ll make me super angry for some reason. when the carpet jumbles up under the coffee table it freaks me out and i have to move it. there’s no reason behind these 2 things other than this feeling of discomfort.

(just to spell out the reasons i suspect i have autism): i have somewhat of social difficulty. its hard for me to read tone or know when people are joking, i take things literally all the time. i have special interests like minecraft and sonic and mbti and enneagrams that have been with me for years and years and i know everything about. i also get really sensitive and touchy when these things are brought up by other people (im working on it). i have really bad sensory issues and get overwhelmed easily by noises sometimes and i wear my sony noise canceling headphones when i do.

my sister seems to think the standing on the right and coffee table thing are ocd because having to move the other person or table is like a compulsion, but i wonder if it could be autism bc there’s nothing really linked to the coffee table or the person standing to my left, it’s just a feeling of discomfort.

let me know, any and all input is appreciated

This appeared, fastened to a light pole in Kansas City MO earlier today and was gone again later in the day. Local chat is coming up empty as to what it might be, so hoped you lovely folks may have an idea!

I have this amazing blanket from a friend, but it's getting more torn up by the day. I can't find it anywhere and the friend has forgotten as well. I know it's from potterybarn cause of the tags, but there's nothing else identifying it. I can't find anything on there that has this similar tassel style. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi so I had been gone all day and I came home and this waterbottle was this color. I am the only one who drinks flavored water in my household and the flavor I have is the Crush Watermelon (which is pink) this also has floating particulates that are dark and light. It is progressively getting darker. WHAT IS THIS?

Edit: It also foams when shaken too much

Didn’t see these anywhere else I went in CO. What are they used for?

Fast answers from those that deal with snow lol
Thanks all!

Update - Confirmed, “they slow down high-velocity winter winds, causing blowing snow to lose transport capacity and drop safely into designated fields rather than drifting across nearby roads and airport runways.”

I found this in a box of PC junk that was donated. I believe it's a webcam but I can't find a single thing about it online. By the way, any recommendations to getting this clean? I assume just 99 % rubbing alcohol would be safe, yes?

I don’t think I would have packed trash, but it doesn’t look familiar to either of us. there wasn’t anything else in the box that it fit. any ideas? Btw, the photo showing the wide end has a groove around the edge like something fits into it. A gasket maybe?

This is in the utility room in our basement. The black pipe goes up into the rim joist and I can trace the wiring to the breaker box, but it’s labeled whirlpool blower.

I noticed these weird little crystals in the unfinished dirt in my basement.

Maybe a fungus, I guess, but they looked inorganic at a glance.​​​​
